Today’s Head Over Heels “Say YES To The Dress” submission came to us from Ashelei in our Atlanta Perfect Wedding Guide market.

So after getting engaged, I was so excited to find THE dress!

I always had a vision of what I wanted:

Long Sleeves??

Lace??

Tight, Tight, BOOM!??

That was the analogy I always used when describing the dress I wanted.

The first place I went to, Bride Beautiful in Atlanta was where she was! I was a little discouraged due to their only being a few samples I could try on (as I’m thick in the hips) but the first one I tried on, yes the very first one, made me light up like a Christmas tree!

It was everything I wanted, minus the sleeves, but I felt absolutely beautiful in it! My dad said if he wasn’t already married, he would marry me in that dress, lol!

Yet I still tried on additional dresses and went to additional appointments at other bridal shops.

I had some bad experiences and good ones.

I found another dress that had sleeves, which was still in my same idea. That first day I tried on dresses was in May. I didn’t get anything. I kept thinking of that first dress and eventually went back and tried it on again & again after that.

Yet still, I hadn’t purchased it. The dress was in my budget, millions of things began to pop up where I was never able to pay my deposit and have my dress ordered. When it got around September, I realized I was pushing it hella close to not getting my dress in time, so I started looking online for pre-worn gowns.

I finally came across my dress online, but it was a size too big and it had been altered a lot. This made me fearful.

Now the original boutique had many sales, but my dress, being a newer one, was never on the sales. So I began getting a little discouraged but also checking in with the pre-owned dress as well. I even began looking into other options, as I was so close to my wedding date.

Thanksgiving came around and the bridal shop with my dream dress was again having a sample sale for Black Friday. Again I was told my dress was NOT included in the sample sale… BUT, they could discount my dress’s sample and it would be first come first serve with purchase. I was so excited!

They even worked on a payment plan with me to purchase my dress!

I’m so excited! I got the dress of my dreams half off! I can’t wait to marry my best friend and live our version of happily ever after.

Congratulations Ashelei, you look amazing, we cannot wait to see your wedding pictures!
