Dress has arrived but still doubting its the one.

Celina, on March 1, 2021 at 12:20 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 32

I cried when I tried on the dress I purchased. I love it, its beautiful but my fiance doesn't like it. He has seen a handful of pictures of wedding dresses I've shown him and he didn't care for them. One of which is the dress I bought. Of course he says ill look drop dead beautiful in any dress I decide to get so how do I get the doubt out of my mine? I tried on 5 dresses in total and tried on 2 dresses after the one I cried and in and couldn't get it out of my head. I pick it up this Saturday but I'm wondering if I should try on a few more dresses to make sure I have THE ONE. Anyone have any advice or been in the same situation?

    Did he see the dress on you or on a model?

    He saw it on the model. He wants me covered and I want to be covered too. Its an off the shoulder dress which looked low on the model but I'm sure she was tall and I'm petite

    Sleeves in general we both decided on. I'm not a big fan of my arms. He doesn't want to know anything about the dress details but the one I got is one he didn't care for. He assured me whatever I got was going to be fine with him, that it isn't he wants its what I want. I got over the worry but I got the email saying my dress has arrived at the store and is ready for pick up so th doubt is coming back a bit.

    I think the best thing you can do is just relax, go to the bridal store, and try on your dress. Make sure you do your hair and make up so you’re feeling cute. If you have your accessories, bring them with you. If you plan to wear shape wear under your dress, bring that with you too. Don’t think about anything other than how you feel when you see yourself wearing that dress. If you feel incredible in it, then don’t worry about anything else! When you feel great, it shows! Your fiancé won’t notice anything other than your happy glowing face when you walk down the aisle. You definitely want to make sure you are wearing something you feel beautiful and comfortable in. If, for some reason, you try on the dress and don’t have that feeling, discuss with the bridal consultant at that time what your options are.

    Thank you so much! I’ve been debating if I should make an appointment out of it just to make sure I have time to find out if they can alter the neck line possibly if it’s too low for me.

    Most bridal boutiques will automatically make a 30 minute appointment for you when you go in to pick up your dress for exactly that reason. They expect you to try it on and have time to try on accessories with it if you want, and troubleshoot anything that may arise. If you want to be doubly sure though, you can call the boutique and ask if they automatically make an appointment for you.

    Thankfully it’s David’s bridal and I booked an hour bridal appointment. They already told be I could try it on once it came in and alterations could take a look and give me a rough quote cuz I’ve heard horror stories about their alteration prices.

    That’s perfect! You will have plenty of time to do everything you need, no matter how you feel about the dress. But the fact that you loved it so much you cried when you put it on leads me to believe you will love it again 💖

    I wouldn't try on any other dresses. Try on your dress again, and you'll remember why you love it. Keep in mind that dresses typically look drastically different on a model in pictures as compared to on the bride (personally, I think most dresses look better not on a model). So your fiance might not like the way the dress looks on a model, but I'm sure he will love it when he sees you wearing it! You mentioned some concerns about the neckline, but that should be able to be taken care of in alterations. I would definitely try on your dress again to get a fresh start.

    It’s been a couple of months since I bought it so I’m really hoping that it coming in my size really makes a difference like the consultant said.

    I believe you have to start a new conversation topic and attach it there.

    Remember that you cried when you tried on the dress. I’m sure it will look perfect and I’m sure your fiancé will love you in it.
    After I purchased my dress I’ve constantly kept looking at Instagram for other dresses and, while it’s a bit fun, it can also make you question your own choice very easily.

    That’s exactly what I’ve been going through while figuring out the decorations for the venue.
