BRIDE C tries on Wedding Dresses!!!!

!!Trying on Wedding Dresses!!

So "Bride C" tried on her very first wedding dress! And while this is sooooo emotional, I can not help but to think that the dresses she tried on just don't do her justice. 

Please be mindful, that while experiencing this with your bride-to-be, you must allow yourself to be a sensitive brick wall. Why blocking all the typical bridal bullshit, I have to keep in mind, that these dresses are gorgeous of course, but are they "Bride C"? And will she feel like a bride or does she feel like a bride in it?

As awesome as they were, I her eyes clearly said she didn't feel like a bride yet.....

See, no sparkle in the eyes when she looks at herself.
If your Bride-to-Be has truly found her dress, her eyes will say it all. 

So until I see that twinkle in my Bride-To-Be's eyes, we will keep looking.
