Funny to say that I have never interested in weddings and also wedding dresses.
I don't know why I have never imagined I am in it. I have never even glanced at windows of wedding dress shop as far as I can remember.
I didn't even realise there is London's one of well-know wedding dress shop in Blackheath village just next to couple of shops from my favourite cake shop 'Boulangerie Jade'. I must walk pass without any interests.
It seems to choose the dress is that the hardest or even the easiest choice to make depends on brides. For me, it was the hardiest. I tried on more than 20 dresses from high street brand to haute couture.
Long story short, I never found the one...
Many of shops are Kindly allowed to take a photo when I tried samples on. Therefore I'd never forget my story of journey to find the dress.
-Local wedding dress shop in Chislehurst
It was a super traditional wedding dress shop.
I looked like a bride when I tried on but it wasn't for me.
I felt a super weird when Jane put a veil on me.
It wasn't particularly good feeling, though.
-Pronovias.
There are various style of dresses you could try.
You have to Book and pay for the session before the visit.
I liked this but I did not felt for it.
My mum liked this one but BIG no, no for me.
I found that I prefer a tea length dress rather than a traditional full length dress.
-Shop in Marylebone
I tried more tea length dresses on.
-Whistles
High street brand 'Whistles' launched the wedding dress line for the first time in 2017.
I went and tried. I didn't want to spend too much for just an one day dress at that time.
I do regret it. It is not about spending. It is how you feel it. You have to falll in love with your dress otherwise you will regret it forever unless you have the second chance.
-Harrods
I did tried untraditional (weird) ones, too. Because just in case I might like different style.
Brides on instagram were lovely in it but it was hideous on me.
-Ralph and Russo
The absolute highest end - The Haute Couture.
I found a design I would like to try on. I was lucky that the dress was in the London.
The one I liked, it was too heavy. I was even difficult to breath normally.
So it was no for me. But the one on the right side, I liked it a lot.
After I visited R&R, I finally got some ideas. I hesitated because of the costs but it was worth to visit. They were absolutely kind and helpful and open to every options. And the date was already super late but they said they could make it. The wedding was on September and it was May...
Now, looking back, I had to start finding the dress as soon as we decided to have a wedding.
But I didn't. Why? The depression engulfed me hugely and I couldn't be bothered.
In the end, I had to compromise my fussiness as the time is ticking. And I did.
I said it earlier it wasn't The One. And I must say I wasn't 100% happy.
So I have to admit that I was angry for a while after the event.
I didn't say anything about it to anyone because it sounds ridiculous.
I know in my head but I was unhappy for a long time in reality.
I should have find THE ONE and married in it...
I have to remind this again and again to get over unhappiness of imperfection.
Thank god!
No one in my family would read this. So I write it.
