Dress fomo

Anybody else have fear of missing out with their wedding dress? I was good. I had bought my dress and I was happy. Then I won a free wedding dress from a local boutique. Ultimately I didn’t pick one and passed the opportunity along to another bride, but in the process I started second guessing my dress. I have until Tuesday to return it, and now I’m thinking about maybe going Saturday to try one more time. I cried when I tried it on and felt like I was going through a break up when I didn’t pick it the first day, and went on to try 29 more dress (crazy, I know). I originally wanted boho, which this dress is not. Everyone keeps asking if I can see myself walking down the aisle in it, and I can’t. But I can’t really picture myself walking down the aisle in anything. Ps I don’t look happy in any pics because I didn’t know they were being taken, and I had already had the dress on for 15 mins lol Dress fomo 1

I always had dress envy ! Because I’d see other dresses and think they’re so pretty

I can't give you any great advice but that dress (and you!) is beautiful! Try to remember the reasons you fell in love with it originally. But if you decide you'd like to try on some others, go for it! The worst that can happen is you don't find anything you like better, in which case you are still a winner as you have a gorgeous dress that looks great on you.

I think we all get dress fomo sometimes! I know I still do, occasionally. But I remember how it felt to wear. If you saw yourself wearing it and loved it on, remember those feelings. Like Rosene said, you still have some time if you really want to, but be careful. You might end up with a different dress, and then experience the dress fomo all over again.

You look gorgeous. Remember, they’re all pretty or they wouldn’t sell, everyone has different venues, seasons, colors and decor, and different body types. Plus it’s just a dress and it’s just for one day. So don’t compare to other girls. I think this one looks absolutely beautiful.

Here's the reality. You will always wonder if there is another dress because there are a lot that we can fall in love with. I suggest shop some more. I bought my dress and I am shopping because while I love it I want to be sure I have the perfect dress. I also feel like I want all the dresses. It is normal.

Your dress is gorgeous! Just remember you picked it for a reason. Stop looking at other dresses and stop doubting yourself

Im probably reading too much into things but in the second one you dont look excited about the dress imo. You look more like youre excited or day dreaming of your wedding. Listen to your gut.

Thanks everyone! I feel a little better now. This is tough but if this is the biggest hiccup in the whole process then I’m happy!

Hi Connor,
Many of us have dress regret, yours is STUNNING, I tried on 40 before I narrowed it down to 2 dresses, and then had a couple of sleepless nights trying to decide, wedding dresses are gorgeous!! don't second guess your choice!!! You will be a beautiful 👰
This is the one I chose, second one was runner-up.

Those are both beautiful! But I like the one you ultimately chose as well 💕 thank you for your kind words. I didn’t think I would be “that bride” that tried on so many and struggled. Welp here I am! Lol
