Too Many Dresses?

So, while in MD a few weeks ago, Pooja and I visited a dress shop in Pikesville and the experience was horrible. The sales associate who helped me told me my budget was too low and there was no way I could get what I want, but she still pushed a dress on me, wanting me to buy right away. She wasn't mean, but she was a bit pushy and I lost all heart there. I only tried on 3 dresses and wanted to leave.

The sales woman did offer one piece of advice that has proven great wisdom. She told me that if I try on too many dresses that I will become confused on which is actually THE dress. I think that has happened. I am a bit overwhelmed by all the dresses I have tried on. Trying on gowns is so much fun and I am so picky that I want to see all the options. I have tried on about 40 dresses, maybe more. And I don't want to stop. I have become crazed...tulle crazed...satin crazed...ball gown crazed. But, on the other hand, with every bridal shop I visit, I add to my confusion - Which one? Which one?

I hear the stories and have witnessed the brides who try on 4 or 5 dresses, pick the one, and then buy it. IN ONE DAY! Well, and hopefully I don't come across as a bridezilla in this aspect, I can't seem to do that. I want to keep shopping. There are so many beautiful dresses out there. Online shopping is what has killed me. I see all the gorgeous ones online that I have yet to try on. If I never shopped online, I could be better focused on the dresses in the dress shop only.

On a good note though, I do have a top two. I had a top three - but I eliminated one. My top dress is a satin ball gown with a very small rhinestone detail - hardly any beading at all. Very simple. My other top dress is very different, a bit extreme. It has  flower details all over the skirt in chiffon. Both dresses need a few alterations. One needs to be turned into a sweetheart, the other needs to depoof in the skirt and better belt. One of the dresses is about $100 more than the other one as well. Here are few small pictures to show them off...sorry to all the lace supporters, but neither is lace.
