i don't think everyone loves my dress and it's kinda bumming me out

DanteNicole, on June 30, 2020 at 1:25 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 25
So I just said yes to the dress and I love it. It's timeless, sexy (once it's fitted), and the beading is beautiful. I can pass it to my future daughter or granddaughter. But I think my dress was everyone else's second choice. Their first choice I thought was too flashy. I love my dress but it kind of bums me out that my mom loves another dress. How do I get over that. The two with the vail was the dress i picked and the one where I'm wearing a mask was my moms favorite.i don't think everyone loves my dress and it's kinda bumming me out 1

    You’re the one that’s going to wear it. If you love it and said yes then remember that not everyone will always agree on something you pick or chose throughout your whole wedding planning. They’re both beautiful dresses! But be confident in your decision!

    To get over it...don't care about their opinions ha ha. I will say as long as they do not think you look horrible in it who cares. It needs to be what you like. I tried on dresses suggested to me and if I was not feeling it, it was m money paying for it ha ha ha. I think like the pp said you look great and ultimately you are the one wearing. Honey, get ready for wedding planning and people giving you their opinions so always go with what you want...you and your fh's day.

    I love it!

    but you know, like pp said - you are the one wearing it. everyone has their own style and it doesn't always coincide with our own. they will think you are gorgeous in anything

    Just let it go! My mom and best friend both preferred another wedding dress on me, but it wasn't my favorite - so it just doesn't matter!!

    You want to wear something that makes you feel amazing! And you incredible in that first dress and are clearing beaming!! Smiley heart

    The second dress is gorgeous on you, but you look just as gorgeous in the other ones too. At the end of the day, you are the one that’s walking down the aisle and you have to feel good in the dress that you have.

    I honestly love it! I went in thinking I wanted something BAM in your face but I love the quiet Bam my dress does. Like I want to show my FH but he's being good and won't let me. It's been hard not to show him 😅

    This is your wedding not theirs, you should pick your favorite dress to wear. It does suck that your favorite wasn’t her favorite but as all moms say you will look beautiful no matter what! And after all the dress is only a small part of a long and happy marraige, and that’s what it’s all about. Hope this helped 🥰

    I’m sure it’s hard but I wouldn’t worry about what others think. Your dress is beautiful and as long as you love it that’s all that matters.

    My mom liked the dress I passed up too! She finally stopped mentioning it lol

    My best friend eventually warmed up to the dress I chose once she saw it on me in person.

    The important thing is that you love it! You have to feel how you want to feel, if it’s classy, sexy, sophisticated, etc.

    I personally like the second better, but you're the one who has to be happy with it in the end. If you feel good and beautiful in the first, and if you had your "moment" in the first, then the first dress is meant for you. I don't think you can go wrong with either to be perfectly honest. My mom liked literally every single dress I tried on and had always dreamed of me wearing a ballgown, but I prefer tight, fitted, mermaid-y type of dresses, so I said yes to a mermaid because if I'm happy, mom is happy. I actually ended up purchasing a second "reception" dress later down the road, and it just so happened to be a ballgown so momma was really happy about it. I don't love it near as much, but it's a reception dress and I needed something more moveable than the mermaid for the after-party. Regardless of who likes it and who doesn't, it's important for you to feel beautiful, classy, and like a bride should. Don't worry about any other opinion than your own because you have to live with your decision and potential regret upon choosing another dress for someone else rather than for yourself. The dress you said yes to is beautiful. All eyes will be on you, girl! I wish you the best of luck and hope this helped some. 🥰❤️

    I think the one you feel more comfortable with and love then you should love that one!! If you love your dress and everyone else doesn't it does not matter! This is YOUR day not everyone else. I know we love to have approval from those closest to us but sometimes we choose it for ourselves and only ourselves.

    The dress isn’t for them to love.... it’s for you to love. Nothing about your wedding is going to please everyone 100% so no need in trying.

    Honestly, I think 99% of all wedding dresses are beautiful 🙈 whichever you choose to wear will be made beautiful by having you in it all happy and in love! ❤️ I love both your dresses. When your entourage see you on the wedding day, their last thought will be whether it was the dress they preferred on you or not.

    Your choice is extremely lovely and becoming. Our parents and loved ones envision us in a particular way.However , you are allowed to feel your most confident and radiant in the dress that accentuates your beauty in wedding day.In other words, your family will celebrate and swoon over you no matter what because you will glow in the dress that you love .

    You picked the right one! The smile on your face says it all!

    This kind of happened to me when I went shopping. Everyone was supportive of my first choice, but I could tell the group really liked this dress that had a lot of sparkle. I honestly thought I was a sparkle and beading girl, but when I tried on both types it was a definite NOPE from me! Everyone has their own style and what is most important is that you feel beautiful in the dress you pick.

    I do think my mom’s favorite dress was one way out of my price range, which she didn’t know until after I left with the dress I chose, but I also felt like it was too fancy and sparkly for my outdoor in nature wedding.


    Ultimately though it’s the dress you feel the best in, and your mom and everyone else will see how radiant you are when you’re confident in your dress.
