Dress shopping was ... intoxicating. The more gowns I tried on, the drunker I got.



Also tried on some awesome ones at a different place that wouldn't allow pictures.

And what's this nonsense I was spewing about not needing a veil? I loved the veil. What I did not love about the veil was its price. What is up with $200 for a piece of tulle? Nvm, jury's still out on the veil.

Advice for wedding dress browsers:

- Wear an outfit that doesn't require a bra so when trying on backless stuff, no bra lines.
- Makeup. Good boutique lighting can only do so much.
- Everything looks schmaltzy in its vinyl cocoon. Let them take it out of the bag.
- Call ahead and ask if you'll be allowed to photograph yourself in the dresses you try on. You might want to skip the ones who say no, at least early on.
