Deciding on a wedding dress??

Stefanie, on May 20, 2020 at 2:12 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11
Hi all.



I currently have two dress options for my wedding day. My original dress and a shorter tea length dress. It seems like most people on here prefer the tea length dress on me - I do love the shape but it feels uncomfortable. 😭Also, when I have it on, I think about my original dress - it's so comfy and I feel regal in it. Does this mean it's the one?

    They’re both beautiful on you, you can’t lose. But pick the one you feel happiest in.

    I love the tea length dress but I also understand the regal feeling of a long dress. If you still aren’t completely satisfied by either dress, you still have two months. I’d say get to online shopping! There’s plenty of inexpensive online bridal stores online so you can have another option without breaking the bank! Good luck🙂

    I like the first one better. The dress is stunning, classic and just simply beautiful on you. I think you have to choose the one that "feels right" - It's not about the dress wearing you, it's about you wearing the dress. You accessorize the dress, it shouldn't accessorize you. You want everyone looking at you, not just your dress. And that dress makes you shine (at least in those pictures).


    But follow your heart, there's no bad choice here.

    Both are beautiful but the original really stands out most to me and the veil is gorgeous. Maybe you could wear both somehow like wear your original for ceremony and the change into tea length gown for reception.

    You should wear the one you feel comfortable and beautiful in. It's all about how you feel - because you'll look beautiful regardless.

    I say go with what you feel you are comfortable with and love! Both are so pretty! I think they are both great! Also, can you do both? Like one for the ceremony and the other for the reception? I am not sure if that's an option but you never know!

    I can't lie - I love the sweetheart and illusion neckline and shape of the tea length dress! Smiley shame

    But - if you're thinking of your original dress while wearing the second dress, then I think that's the deciding factor! It's your wedding dress so wear the one that you're most excited about. I know my mom and best friend preferred a different wedding dress for me and thought that would be "the one", but I couldn't stop thinking about my final choice and was so happy with my decision! You want to look and feel amazing on your wedding day Smiley heart

    I prefer the original dress. I am not a big fan of short wedding dresses. But either way you will look beautiful.
