David's Bridal: This dress has a really beautiful train. This was the close #2 to the dress that I eventually chose, and I actually can't look at it too much for fear of having dress regret.
Maggie Sottero: I'm not sure why I kicked this one out of the running, actually. Looking at this picture, I feel like it's really flattering. But it was one of the first dresses I tried on, and I guess it just didn't give me that special feeling.
Paloma Blanca: Love it, love it, love it. $1,000 over my budget. It went out the window.
I can't remember the designer (and my future mother-in-low chopped my head out of the photo by accident). I tried this dress on the same day as I tried on the one I eventually bought. I loved its full skirt. My friend, though, showed me how it gives my stomach a bump that's not actually there. So ... out it goes.
This is only a sampling of the dresses I tried on, but they were hard to narrow down. What were some reasons you decided not to wear a particular wedding dress?
