(You\u2019ll have to wait until after the big day to see it!) It was a Vera Wang number and straight away I was deflated as we all know how much Vera charges!<\/p>\n<p>When I did more research I found out that the dress could not be bought in Europe and did not ship to Europe either. I continued my search and found a stockist in Vegas!!!! Whoop Whoop! I got in touch asked them to hold it and thought that\u2019s me sorted. No\u2026 they only had one left and if I wanted it I had to buy it straight away, they couldn\u2019t hold it for me. So after hour long conversations with the mother, the hubby to be, the bridesmaids etc I decided to go for it and buy it and wait and see what happens. So I parted with the money and arranged that the dress would get to my hotel when I arrived in Vegas. We were staying in New York New York and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They stored the dress for me and when I arrived handed it over with a loving smile!<\/p>\n<p>I ran straight to the room, got my mam on Skype, assembled the bridal party and put it on\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n<p>It was perfect! I just need to get it taken in and I\u2019m sorted! There is a couple of little tweaks that I would like to make but other than that I\u2019m all set!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll ba back very soon to tell you about the next steps!<\/p>\n<p>{Image from Pretty as a Picture}<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Sara has worked in the wedding industry for almost 10 years.
