• RK Bridal and The One

  So I went to RK bridal yesterday to try on dresses….and i must say that place is a madhouse.  No pushing and shoving or anything…but just a LOT of people.  Basically, you get there and have to sign up to try on up to 5 dresses…There are only 4-5 dressing rooms (each room having its own conultant) for brides-to-be and when i got there (two hours after openning), my name ended up on the bottom of page 2.  They were up on the girls from the top of page 1.  But after you sign up, then you go and choose your 5 dresses….then you wait a LOOONG time until your name is called. 

  The dressing rooms are all on one back wall…and the three paneled mirrors are outside of each dressing room.  So after you put on your dress and the consultant pins it to you, you come outside and look in the big mirror.  And EVERYONE (and everyone they brought) is waiting right there for their names to be called.  So basically, you’re trying on your dress in front of a large crowd hahahaha.  Then you can hear the crowd murmuring about whether or not you look good in your dress.

  So anyway, i start looking for my dresses…and within 5 minutes I’m already overwhelmed…All the dresses started looking the same.  And i have to say it’s sooooooo hard to tell from online what they look like in person.  There were sooo many online that looked really good…but in person, you’re like oh….eek.  But on the other hand, there were a lot that looked MUCH better in person.  And  ALL the dresses are in their plastic protector, so it’s like static city.  I’m shocking my mom….my mom is shocking me….i’m shocking myself…i’m shocking nearby people.  So i just focused on this one designer that i liked….they make really good quality silk gowns and a decent price…and their style is very me (the designer is asian too!!! not that it matters…but I like a little asian connection hahaha!)  

  So I picked my 5…1/2 picked by me, 1/2 picked by mom.  And FINALLY i go to try them on…and 1 of the 5 was THE ONE!!! yay!  Not posting a pic….hahahha….you’ll just have to wait.  But it looks NOTHING like picture i posted a while back of what i wanted.  It was actually one of mom’s pics….and i didn’t want to try it on originally because it would take up one of my 5 spots.  But when i stepped out in it, i could hear the crowd murmuring how nice I looked in it.  And people passing by would tell me to get it hahahaha.  But the fabric is AMAZING…I couldn’t stop touching it….it was soooo soft.  I even made mom step forward and touch it. puahahaha.  I didn’t order it from there….i found it online for MUCH cheaper…and RK Bridal has a policy that if you can find one online for cheaper, you can fax in an order through RK Bridal with the online price and they’ll beat the price for 5%….so I shall do that.  The funny part is that I’ve looked through this designer’s webiste MANY MANY times….and I never once clicked on this dress….

  Oh, and mom found a dress too….it’s quite sexy i must say. hhahaha.  i didn’t think she would go for it, but it looked really good on her.  At the end she was debating between an all covered up one and the sexy one. But her consultant and I were like, mom, you’re still super skinny (she’s not much bigger than me)…not a lot of women your age can wear this and look good….just wear this.  So she said okay….hahaha.

  All in all, I loved the RK Bridal experience….low mantainance….no snobbery….exactly what I wanted.
