Ok everyone, here's my dillema. I tried on dresses yesturday and fell in love with a dress. I actually have 2 that I need to decide from. The first one is AMAZING! I could look at it all day. The second is also very gorgeous, but less expensive. Do I pick the more expensive dress (by $224) that I am absoulutely ga ga over, or the other which I also love, but is less expensive. My aunt is paying for my dress, so it is covered, I just wasn't planning on spending that much on a dress. Any suggestions?

Since your aunt is paying maybe you should ask her if she has a budget in mind. If she does, and that budget is less than the dress you really love then either, make up the difference yourself or choose the less expensive dress.

Only you would know if your aunt can afford what's she's offering.

I'm sorry, I should've specified. She is giving me more than enough to cover the dress... It's just me having a hard time with the price [blush]. Thanks for the response!

Ahhh...yes, this is a different question then. Well, if you can afford it, but the one that you love. Hopefully, we only do this one time...do it in the dress that makes you feel the most beautiful!

I agree, you should buy the dress that makes you feel Gorgeous. If you buy the less expensive dress then you will always be thinking of the dress that your gaga over.

So in the scope of the big day $224.00 is only going to save you anxiety issues, and make you feel beautiful.


Sincerely,
