Hi ladies this is a long post (sorry),

So I will admit that I can be impulsive when I get really excited for something and sometimes have an issue purchasing things that I later on realize was a mistake. I got engaged in October 2018 and had my dress fitting a week later. I did not expect to find a dress, but of course I ended up finding one and my dad paid for it. A good chunk of my immediate family, along with my FMIL, were there for the fitting and loved the dress and I felt confident and beautiful.

Now fast forward to today, my dress came in last week and I tried it on again and I still do love it but I am having some regret. In hindsight, I wish I would have gone for something with more bling and more beading and I am worried that my regret will continue to grow in the months leading up to my wedding date, which is in March 2020 btw. I know this is pretty much my fault since I was impulsive, but I am really just looking for advice as to what to do. I was thinking of having a beaded belt, but I am just at a loss.

I do have till January 20th to decide if I want to exchange the dress @ DB, but like I said I am lost as to how to get past the twinge of regret I have Smiley sad

Here is the dress (the belt is not included with the dress)cfb_1102949.jpg

    Thank you! I definitely loved the first dress, just wanted a bit more bling to it, plus it's pale pink! explore your options! you may or may not find something different but then at least you can ease the way your feeling!

    I had regret too. I tried to cancel my first dress and could not. I will have to try and sell my first dress when it comes in. The second dress I saw posted on Instagram. It was the same place I bought the original dress. I went with my girls to try and pick out their dresses and tried on the second dress. I cried and cried. It was my dress. It was hard to justify, but in the end I am thrilled and could not be happier. The owner worked with me and switched out the veil and belt so it was not a total loss.

    The dress is stunning, you can have some sparkle tulle added underneath some tulle at the bottom.

    Maybe add a jeweled belt to give it exactly what you want.
    Jewlery can go a long way too! A nice necklace or bracelets!

    Maybe go with a blinged out veil?
    Good luck!
