First time trying on dresses

On a scale from 1-10, how I felt was a 10 and what my mom thought (only person who shopped with me) was a 5. If I was deciding between two dresses and she liked one more than the other, it probably would have swayed my decision, but I definitely wouldn't have reconsidered a definite "no" just because she liked it.

You have to remember that everyone has very different tastes, so what you think is nice someone else might not think is nice. go with what you're comfortable in because regardless you'll be beautiful and they will think you're beautiful in whatever you decide.

it's nice to get people's opinions and it can be helpful but you also don't want to feel uncomfortable or unhappy in what you ultimately choose based on someone else's opinion. so go with what you are happy with and want. at the end of the day, every bride looks beautiful

I would factor in everyone else's opinion, but ultimately your own is most important. If you didn't love it, it isn't the one.

View Quoted Comment I agree with this. Your opinion is the most important, but you also should heed others opinions. In the end, find a gown that you truly love and everyone will love it

If you dont love it, you dont love it. Feel free to try it on again later. But look elsewhere first.

I took my Mom and Grandmother with me dress shopping and my Mom doesn't like my dress but I absolutely love it and I was the one paying for it and also I am the one who will look at my wedding photos the most so my opinion mattered more than hers did. My Grandmother on the other hand loved it and cried as well as my sister did at my alterations appt. my Mom didn't like it because it wasnt the dress she pictured me in so she was kinda let down from the beginning. You will know when it's THE ONE and until you get that feeling I wouldn't settle

What's most important is how you feel in the dress! It's very sweet to take other people's opinions, but this is your wedding dress for your wedding

Get a dress YOU love. You’ll glow in person & in your photos.

View Quoted Comment I agree. When I went out in MY gown, knowing my tastes, my whole group Ohhhed and Awwwwed. It was their favorite. It was also my favorite and I had that bridal moment in the fitting room. I rarely cry so that was unexpected. I knew it was the one. Everyone thought id'd get another one, at first, but I knew I loved the one I bought. The one you love THE MOST will be your gown!! Best wishes.

Similar dilemma with me too! Except my mom, MOH (who came with me) and myself fell in love with what I like to call THE dress. However my other 5 bridesmaids feel differently and all like a dress that is very similar and I liked it too but just felt it wasn’t me. The store is ordering the dress of my dreams in my size to see if it will be the one. Even though more girls liked the other one more, it is my decision and I’ll go with my dream.

My brothers opinion was the most important to me going in. I ended up getting a dress that wasn't his favorite. You'll know.

I think it’s a personal choice. I’d rather my FH be happy with what I’m wearing (only that day because any other day I give zero cares, I dress for my own approval lol). I mean he would think I look beautiful in anything but I’d prefer something he loves rather than likes because it’s the wedding day and truthfully I want him all goo goo eyed 😂😂. I wanted a huge ball gown he wanted a fitted gown. So I kept telling him I’m getting a huge gown but had every intention to surprise him with a fitted gown. Luckily the dress I picked I feel very comfortable in so it worked out for me. If you’d prefer to be comfortable and look beautiful for yourself than I say go with something that makes you say wow. If you want to look specifically good for the FS and can still exude confidence and not feel totally uncomfortable then I’d get that dress he liked.

They may just be trying to be supportive of you want and making sure you feel like perfection if in your heart it doesnt feel like the dress I'd express that to your family and maybe go back on your own try that dress on again without the pressure of the family and others find out how you really feel

I went by myself just for this reason. I cried when I saw "my" dress on me... I cried again when I went back to get my veil.
If I tried a million more dresses ....nothing could compare to that feeling in that one dress.
Trust your gut!
Go back alone and see how you feel with no one else's opinion but yours.
Good luck!

Thank you everyone for the support. I have another appointment next month (still tons of time to find my dress) with another store to try one more things and see how I really feel!
