Don’t Feel Like a Bride

Kasia, on December 23, 2019 at 11:29 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 3 51
I picked up my gown the other day and it fits and it’s beautiful but every time I look at my fitting pictures, it just doesn’t seem that great. Has anyone felt like I do before the wedding?


I don’t feel like a beautiful bride just in the dress. I’m nervous but I hope that changes when I have my hair done, hair colored to my preferred dark brown, my makeup done, my veil, and my flowers.

    Your dress is beautiful and fits you great. It is also very modern. Maybe that’s why you’re feeling the way you are?


    I think with the veil, flowers, etc you will definitely feel like a bride.

    I think it looks beautiful on you! I think once you have your hair/makeup/jewelry/veil it’ll pull everything together. Imagine your FH’s reaction when he sees you during first looks or walking down the aisle in that gorgeous dress.

    Your dress is stunning on you & very unique! The veil will make a huge difference as will all your accessories & makeup/hair. I had a ballgown dress and once I tried on a veil I felt bridal.


    You’re a gorgeous modern bride! Your photos will also look timeless.

    In my honest opinion I think your dress is very beautiful but I want to ask are you going for a more Modern Bride look? I do feel once you have your hair, makeup and Veil on you it will look more Bridal. I guess I'm asking this because I don't want to make you second-guess anyting but what kind of dress where you envisioning? Every bride will have a different idea of what makes them look Bridal but I just want you to think does your dress make you look like a bride or more like a bridesmaid. When I was dressed shopping and dressed hunting I just knew that I did not want to like a bridesmaid. Can you return the dress if you decide that you want something else? I personally think since your address does not have a lot of detail going that if you choose a veil with a little bit of lace or something that'll really bring the bridal look together and make you feel more like a bride. What do you think? Accessories can definitely change the appearance of a dress.

    I think your dress is very pretty. Have you put it on with a veil and your jewelry? I bet it will look completely different once the whole package is put together!

    I think once you accessorize the overall look will be exactly what you always wanted. The dress is beautiful btw.

    You look absolutely gorgeous! I think the most important thing though is how you FEEL when you are wearing the dress. You are only a bride once so if you aren't feeling your dress anymore, go find one that you love! You can always sell your dress on Stillwhite . com and get most of your money back from it. I have seen lots of new dresses on there for sale bc a bride ended up finding a second dress that felt more like "the one"!

    I think having hair and makeup done and adding the veil will make you feel a lot more bridal. I think the dress looks super elegant, and it probably feels a little less bridal because of how modern it is, but I think adding a veil will make all the difference.

    You definitely look like a bride. Don’t get caught up in needing a big poofy dress to be a bride. Your dress is beautiful, classy and elegant. All those descriptions define a bride to me. But feeling like a bride won’t come from a dress… It will come from within yourself.

    Your dress is so pretty. I agree with PP that don't get caught up in it needing to look like a typical wedding gown. This is a gown that's unique and fit for you.

    Those details will definitely help, I felt the same way when trying my dress on.. my dress is beautiful and I absolutely love it but it didn’t feel complete until I put my veil on.
