The Runners-Up:
Left: Maggie Soterro's Rhianna - At first I didn't like all the crazy flowers by looking at the dress on the hanger, but the sales consultant suggested I try it on anyways. To my surprise, it looked really flattering on me and the color is gorgeous. Two things that led me to decide against it was that the dress looked so much better in antiqued-gold than in white (which is the color I must wear) and that the dress is too popular for me.
Center: Enzoani's Dominique. I almost got this dress. I found a sample at a bridal shop and tried it on and I love how unique it is, and also the fact that the price was slashed in half!. I love the top part of the gown and also the train on the back was so beautiful and different. I love this dress so much that I even liked the bow. However, before I committed to Dominique, I decided to visit Belgrade one last time just to make sure, and Belgrade still won, so I had to say good-bye to Dominique. I still think about this dress sometimes - it was so close.
Right: Casa Blanca B010. The picture Casa Blanca has for this dress does not do any justice. I can safely say that even I looked better than the model in this dress. In person, this dress is very classy, regal and lux. The style is very classic yet modern. When I first put it on, I thought, "wow, this is really me." I showed my parents, my oldest brother, and my uncle pictures of me in this dress, and they actually all liked this dress on me better than Belgrade. However, I just couldn't get Belgrade out of my mind so eventually I let this one go.
I want to take this opportunity to thank my awesome fiance for shopping for a dress with me. Not every guy can endure these dress-up sessions. It was such a great experience putting on so many wedding gowns and show them off to him, and also to receive his valuable opinions. The best part is that he actually enjoyed it, too.
