I have to admit I was a reluctant David's Bridal shopper. I thought it was going to be all bright white satin and stuff that wasn't my style, but I liked the lower price points and I was home for Christmas, so my mom and I figured, why not? I ended up falling in love with the second dress I tried on and going home with it for under $500. Shanice was amazingly helpful and really listened to what I wanted, even though I wasn't one-hundred percent sure until I started trying things. She was also super respectful of my budget. Plus, she was funny and just made the whole experience really fun for me and my family. I'm in love with my dress, and I think it's just as chic, classic, and vintage-y as all the stuff I was eyeing from BHLDN that was easily two or three times as much. I'm a convert!
