Dress picked, but... too simple?

Spirit, on July 7, 2016 at 4:22 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 70

When I walked in for my wedding dress appointment, and not wanting to go for flavor of the month wedding dresses, I chose a simple, timeless satin gown. It was the 5th dress I tried, and I immediately knew it was the one.

I'm kinda getting buyer's remorse now and thinking that it's perhaps way too simple and understated! Can I spice it up somehow? I already picked a different veil for it, cathedral with lace embroidered trip. Is there anything else I can do?

PS: The dress here is the sample they had at the showroom, slightly big on me. My actual gown will arrive next month.

    You can always add a belt with a bit of bling Smiley smile

    Omg that is gorgeous.... personally, I LOVE the simplicity. You could get a sparkly belt, like PP suggests, but I don't think any more is necessary. Oh, it's so pretty! You look beautiful!

    I think it's classic and you look beautiful. I wouldn't change a thing.

    Belt would've been awesome, but it already has a kind of sash detail Smiley smile

    I was thinking... statement earrings? Necklace wouldn't suit it.

    Jewelry will add a nice touch.

    That is stunning! And I agree, maybe a belt? Overall though, that dress is so classy and classic I wouldn't change a thing. You could always jazz it up with jewelry.

    I'd add accessories like jewelry, or a belt, and if you really want to jazz it up and make it yours you could ask how much it is to add beading to it...

    You can add a belt but honestly I love the dress as is. It's gorgeous and timeless!

    The dress is really beautiful. I love the timeless simplicity of it. I would go for a dramatic colorful bouquet to carry during the ceremony, and maybe add a fun belt for the reception if you really want to add something more to it. But it really is beautiful without adding anything!

    That is an amazing dress! Please don't change a thing. You'd be amazed what hair/make up/accessories can do.

    I think the dress is very pretty without adding a belt (and hiding that sash detail!). Just look at how you'll accessorize it and I think your dress regret will go away.

    I gave one of my rings to a friend as "something borrowed" for her wedding and she said she wants to give me her earrings. I'm not too sure they match my dress... what do you think? I didn't give her an answer yet.

    I think once you have on your jewelry and holding flowers and have your hair and makeup done it's going to feel perfect and not overdone.

    The earrings are pretty but I don't think they would go with your dress

    I think the dress is absolutely gorgeous just the way it is.

    I LOVE your dress. The train is beautiful. I think it is beautiful the way it is but if you choose to add anything to the dress, I would start with a bling belt/sash. If you change your mind, it will be the easiest to alter/remove without damaging the dress. If you want to push the envelope you could add some lace trim but I am partial to lace trim Smiley smile

    ETA: I was on mobile when I first saw this post and I just realized what your veil looks like. If you're getting that veil, it definitely adds to it. I really do think it is beautiful the way it is though.
