Having second thoughts in my wedding dress

Abbye, on January 7, 2020 at 8:23 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11

I guess we all do this. We buy a dress and then a month or two later we think is it the right one. This is where I am right now. I bought my dress and I loved it but now I’m just not sure if it’s right. Would love your thoughts on if it looks flattering. I wanted something that was easy to move around in, that had pockets and that I felt comfortable in. I’m a first time bride at 42 (though I just realized I’ll be 43 come the big day). The dress is all the things I want but now I’m thinking maybe it’s just a bit too understated. It doesn’t have any of the lace or bling I thought I wanted and I’m worried that it’s not as flattering as I thought.

    Fellow "older" bride here (I'll be 40 when I say "I do") - You look great! I like the dress a lot and it looks great on you. I think a bigger necklace will take it up a notch.

    It is a beautiful dress! I agree with PP that a bigger necklace will take it up a notch!

    Your dress is gorgeous, and yes, most of us second guess our choices, I'm questioning my dress now, and I'm 13 months away!

    I was 44 when I got married! Congrats.


    I LOVE the sparkle belt and something sparkly in your hair (comb, ribbon, tiara). Bling earrings would be great too but I’d do no necklace or it’ll look too much.

    I think it looks beautiful on you. Also, it looks like the sample is a bit large on you, so once you have your dress and it is perfectly altered, I think it will be incredible and VERY flattering! I agree you can always accessorize a bit if you think it needs a bit more "bling"! Smiley heart

    I love the dress. it is SO easy to achieve the look youve always dreamed of with dramatic hair, makeup, and jewelry. some statement earrings would look excellent and really be a showstopper!
