I had an idea of what I wanted..., e.g strapless, the shape and I knew I wanted it to be sparkly and heavily details but not 'tacky'.
I tried my dress on first and fell in love, tried on loads of others and I foudn another one that I likes that was £500 cheaper. Had a moral dilemma, and eventually decided on the expensive one lol had to take money out of the deposit for our mortgage we were saving and that was that.
Im pleased I did, just wish I could sell it to put at least a little bit back into my savings x
