WEDDING DRESS SHOP WITH ME | I SAID “YES” TO THE DRESS!

[@KristenMcGowan]

Happy Sunday everyone!! As most of you know Christian and I got engaged in February and have since been starting to plan our wedding for 2024!! I am so excited and wanted to take you along with me wedding dress shopping because it was such an amazing experience!!! 💍😍

[@mariamangion21]

So excited to watch ❤

[@brendatomlinson]

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this beautiful process with us. We love you Kristen!

[@bellblue5527]

So long to wait to see the dress!!! The anticipation is killing me already. I'm sure it's going to be perfection 👰🏼

[@lornag2227]

Congratulations Kristen! That's awesome you found your dress. We've been married for 32 years and I can remember every second of when I found my wedding dress shopping with my sister. It's a feeling you just don't forget. Can't wait to see it all come together. Lorna

[@cri300]

Lalalaaa, so exciting! 😁

[@Sooz1234]

As anyone who has been married for several decades will tell you, it isn't about the wedding and the expectations of businesses that make all of their money from expensive weddings. It is all about the marriage. Best wishes to you and Christian for keeping your sanity and wonderful relationship through the chaos. And let's face it- you'd look amazing in anything. Glad you found the one, both dress and fiance.

[@ljubovluczati]

I fully agree 😂 got married 11 years ago but cannot even watch the video of it. At that time it was most modern, beautifully made, now i look back and see myself as a little girl 😂 and the guests we invited: half of them we don’t even keep in touch with, I have no idea why we had such a big wedding, but at the time this was us, and now we are in a very different place in life. Enjoy the moment, do whatever you feel like to do, but be prepared, that life will change so quickly and all that will matter is the two of you and your bond❤

[@amoya3214]

What a sensible advice

[@sandydupey]

Great advice! I agree 100%

[@cathyraniceto]

Totally agree. We got married on the beach with 23 people over 20 yrs ago. The most magical and stress free time celebrating our union. Our friends loved how intimate and beautiful it was. Best wishes.

[@marilynpruett4973]

A wedding lasts one day. A marriage is hopefully for life. I was married for 47 yrs. My dress was homemade and was everything I wanted. We had no money and friends chipped in with a party! Best wishes.

[@silencedogood7297]

My parents were happily married until the day my Dad died of cancer. Mom married her her office suit and Dad married in his USAF uniform. They had a small party. For 45 years, they were truly happy and had only one rule - respect.

[@nakter6123]

The secret of long lasting marriage nothing have to do with dresses or weddings party's,, thats why olden days people r successful in their marriage life, but nowadays its all about a party, weddings ,dresses but for few yrs of marriage 😅,,,,

[@margomcguigan9092]

Yep, we have been married since 1976. Love just looking at all these beautiful gowns. Best wishes, hope I get to see the one you picked!

[@karenwhite8680]

Hi Kristen🌺it’s your wedding and memories. I know whatever you decide it’s going to be beautiful and amazing. This is a joyous time and your mother is there to help you. You look very beautiful always. Exciting time and thanks for taking us along. 💗💗💞

[@zenalujan7117]

Enjoy the process Kristen! As a mother whose daughter was married in April, planning the wedding and dress shopping was such a special time of bonding for the bride and mother. Love that you got to experience that with your mom! ❤❤

[@cynthiasimmons8322]

How exciting!!! And thank you for being so kind & taking us along ‼️

[@KristenMcGowan]

so exciting!!!

[@roxanaricci8360]

You are going to make a beautiful bride! I love the first one with the bow on the back.

[@KristenMcGowan]

thank you!! yes the cut of that was so pretty!

[@dmnicmos3100]

Yes, me too.

[@jannettegharghoury3662]

I loved that one as well, so different and looked perfect.

[@cindylou1108]

Me too! I fell instantly in love with it. Of course you could wear a sack and be beautiful.

[@kimberlymacandog7616]

AGREED....that simple BOW IN THE BACK made the most magical statement!!!!

[@inspiteofbecauseof4745]

Love that you were open to trying on every type of style. That’s truly how you can see what style looks and makes you feel your best.

[@lindawhitaker5484]

I am so glad you had a wonderful time with your Mom. These are such special times. Remember every minute if it! Best wishes! You look darling!

[@janetroberts7073]

You are beautiful in them all. So nice your Mom can share this time with you.

[@suelyons531]

25 years ago I wore a simple Vera Wang dress with a pearl chocker. The simplicity is timeless. Our photos don't look dated at all. They look classic. Anyway. Congrats on finding your dress!

[@lynn4834]

Looking forward to seeing the dress. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@michaelatopalov1990]

Nothing like having your momma with you for this important moment! Are you on the shorter side? Like other viewers I think you look beautiful in all of them. A friend’s daughter just married wore a simple silky, satiny dress and then changed into a white jumpsuit for the reception. I loved it! I think you look awesome in an off shoulder, simple so elegant white dress but whatever you choose I’m sure you will be a breathtaking bride. Wishing you all the best as you plan your special day!

[@beverlynorris557]

You always know which one you will choose. You put it on and cry or gasp like you did. Congratulations!

[@zoylamartinez1150]

Congrats to you and Christian so happy that you found the dress and you had your mom with you which is nice

[@daniellehurrell6620]

Enjoy the process but also don't stress too much. At the end of the day, most people don't notice if something isn't quite right.

[@carolkaake7881]

So much fun! I remember looking for my dress...it was the 1st one I tried on at a bridal show my sister and I went to! I remember she made me try on another dress just to "make sure" and we both laughed because it wasn't even necessary. Having her with me was everything, especially looking back now since I lost her in June. She was my hubby's and my biggest cheerleader. September 9th it will be 23 years and every day I am so thankful for the amazing man I married and for the people we have had in our lives. Enjoy every minute, even the stressful ones! 😉❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@tlanc1283]

I remember how much fun it was to try on wedding dresses (married 37 years this month!), and you really do know when you found it! You look beautiful in all of them!

[@marilainefontenot8220]

Loved dress shopping with you and your lovely mom. I can hardly wait to see your wedding pictures in 2024. Thanks for sharing.

[@RGarcia-sm3bo]

Congratulations to you and Christian, thank you for sharing. I wish you both the best.

[@alicethomas6472]

You are so pretty in anything. I was so relieved when I finally found the dress. I built my wedding around that. Thank you for taking us with you. Nice you took your mom instead of a friend. Memories! God bless you!

[@createwithconfidence8094]

I enjoyed coming along with you. So many dresses and styles! I was married at 35 and my one requirement was that I could wear it again... which meant I went shopping for evening dresses. To this day, I still have my dress in my closet and do wear it to a fancy, appropriately dressy occasion or event. It is white with gold and form fitting. Of course, with maturation comes periods of heavier weight so the dress doesn't fit me all of the time! I am so glad you found that stunning dress and I surely want to see it on you in one of your videos! Linda

[@jasmineb5697]

Thank you Kristen for sharing this with us. We’re excited for you and Christian ❤️❤️ lovely to see your mother ❤️ glad you found your dress👏🏽👏🏽🍷

[@bootss.9642]

Oh how exciting! So wonderful for your Mom to fly in to help you continue the search and great to see her again in your videos since that is when I started watching when you were organising/decorating your Mom and Dad's home. Always loved their reaction to your hard work. Thank you for bringing us along on your journey and hope you do so for what you can for preparations for the big day. Fantastic explanations describing what you do and don't like about the dresses with the fabrics and design embellishments. Just remember to destress in your favourite way so you can enjoy the journey. I am so happy for you and Christian. 💞

[@Liza03V]

Thank u for taking us along to your special day. Your mum is great that she flew to be with you. Never saw soo beautiful wedding dresses in one day. All the best and I m glad you finaly said YES TO THE DRESS. I hope you will take us along to your wedding as well. ❤❤❤

Is a very exciting experience choosing wedding dress. I’m had so much fun with my daughter choosing her dress. Congratulations and so glad you have your mom with you

[@omaymaeldali9214]

I said yes to the only one dress I tried 😂 My mum and I went to the shop I saw and it was love at first sight, tried it and said yes, the shop assistant was shocked she was like maybe you want to go around to see other design, but I didn’t I knew it was made for me. I have been married for over two years now and I am still in love with it

[@frankieclo9841]

I ordered my dress online, tried it on and that was it. It was simple, elegant, and just gorgeous!

[@Eshabear1213]

I tried on 3 when I thought my ex husband and I were going to have the big wedding. I knew the 2nd dress was mine. I couldn’t stop smiling when I had it on. Then I sold it after he left me

[@omaymaeldali9214]

@@Eshabear1213 hope you find someone who would make you smile for ever

My husband actually saw the dress in another color. I told him stop looking at it and I fell in love with it in white. That was 37 years ago. ❤

[@haley-9080]

I’m getting married in 2024 too! I picked my dress out in March at my first appointment. I tried on like 8 dresses and really liked one so I just kinda went for it. Looking back I sorta wish I made more of an experience out of it, but at the same time, I loved the dress so why not just go for it? It ended up being strapless which I was pretty against, but I am adding some dainty beaded spaghetti straps. Anyway I’m happy you enjoyed your experience & found the one! Cheers to 2024 brides 😊🥂

Bring heels with you, helps a lot. I had already bought my shoes. You will look different than in bare feet. My dress was pronovias and I bought it second hand. It was new with tags at a second hand bridal shop. The owner had bought it but decided to go with a Downton abbey look instead.

[@ceceerider222]

Wonderful you found "the" dress but was surprised these high end stores didn't provide the embellishments to the dress like a rhinestone wide belt or small delicate beaded belt like you see on Say Yes To The Dress that completes the look or adds some sparkle to a plain dress. Same with the veil options. Plain, long, short, lace, no lace, rhinestones, etc. Totally changes the look. I think a halter dress option would look nice on you too with a lovely up do.
