Finding Your Wedding Dress

Finding your wedding dress without stress, how hard can that be?

Well I recently helped a friend find their wedding dress for their upcoming wedding in September and it was no walk in the park (it really brought me back to when I was looking for my wedding dress for my own wedding).
