Needing encouragement

Elisa, on June 24, 2019 at 6:00 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 22
So long story short , I had no one to go try on dresses , my family is 16 hours away , his family is eight hours away . In a city , I don’t know anyone and we have kids and he works 6 days a week . He got a Sunday out with the kids so I got an hour to myself to try on a dress . My sister was going to fly down at the end of July to help but our wedding is early October and I’m kind of running out of time . My sister now hadn’t even asked for a picture of the dress I chose and my mom said yes it’s ok . I thought I picked the perfect dress .... I had a second , fancier dress (both off the rack ) but it would have needed more alterations , was more expensive and I didn’t feel it suited our rustic barn /outdoor venue as much . Included a picture of my I said yes to the dress moment (by myself ) and the stock dress . My dress of course needs altered but anyone want to offer up some encouragement here ? Dress ok for the venue ? Look ok ? I’m not having bridesmaids , just our children in the wedding party so I haven’t been able to ask anyone else either (some close friends back home and they are supportive but now I’m second guessing ) 🙁

    You look amazing! I think it's the perfect dress for a barn wedding, and it suits your figure perfectly!

    You look great! Sorry your dress experience wasn’t as you imagined it. I intentionally went shopping for my dress by myself or with one of my best friends. Too many opinions can be exhausting & confusing. My mom also said: it’s fine - when she saw a photo of my dress 😆 But that’s because two of us have completely opposite tastes in clothes lol. So I wouldn’t take that personally. As long as you love your dress, that’s all that matters!

    I had a lot of people go with me and they all loved my dress. I'm the one who was second guessing. In a way I still am but getting closer to the wedding, I'm starting to love it. I think even if you went with your family, it would still be the same. The dress looks so amazing on you. Your family will all say the same thing. I am sorry you had to go alone. But think of it as a positive thing, you loved it. That's all that matters.

    I think you look beautiful, but you don’t look happy. Only you can decide.

    Omg! You nailed it! It's beautiful!
    I went by myself as well.
    My mama is in Heaven and my close friends are out of state or hours away.
    I am very pleased with my dress and you should be too!
    It's fantastic! Very elegant.
    Honestly!
    The other dress is also beautiful! Try it on to see how you feel...but, I honestly think you look amazing!❤

    You look beautiful in that dress! Do what makes you happy!


    I feel as though I may be in same situation. I don't have close friends where I live and my family lives out of state. Guess I'll see how it goes.

    I don’t love being the center of attention and a lot of attention was on me because I was there alone .... I was a little uncomfortable 😣

    Thank you so much! I know my sister and I have different taste she would have picked something else entirely . I like that I didn’t have anyone else’s opinion to alter mine , I picked exactly what I wanted . I think I was expecting a better reaction and it made me second guess myself . Thank you so much for your kind words !

    I love it...you look beautiful and I'm sorry you had to do it alone! Butttttt I think you picked the perfect one and it's perfect for your vision. I honestly prefer to shop alone lol. I really just want to go with my mom but that would make my MOH and friends go crazy probably lol. You look beautiful, dress looks perfect on you and YOU SAID YESSSSSSSS TO THE DRESS!!!!!!!!
