1/9

I am so defeated and discouraged right now because I genuinely don’t think I’ll be able to find a dress even close to my budget ($2,000 and under) that I absolutely love 😭

I started with a Justin Alexander Signature dress…. turns out that won’t be in stores until June and my wedding is 11/3/24. Not available for the loaner program either.

I turned to a Galia Lahav….dress ended up being $12,600 (had NO idea that designer was so expensive!)

So then I found a Nicole and Felicia dress!!!! I was so excited until I realized… it’s $4,000.

Stumbled across a gorgeous Leah Da Gloria dress…..are you seeing the trend yet?? Over $10,000.

So here I am, super defeated, and pretty sure I won’t be able to find anything I love and that I’ll just have to settle for something that I kind of like. :( in an ideal world my dress would be a royal inspired ballgown with a basque waist and square neckline🥹 does anyone have any suggestions of where to look??? I live in Tampa, FL but honestly at this point I’m willing to drive out of town if a shop here doesn’t carry it. Please help!!!!!
