Nervous I’ll feel over dressed

Mercy, on September 7, 2020 at 10:07 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 39
I got my veil a few weeks ago and today’s the first time I tried on my dress and veil together and I’m starting to feel anxious. I love the dress but its a little bit different and it’s champagne and my moms already made a comment about how it’s not white and makes me nervous about what her other family members will say about the dress because they’re pretty traditional. Also my fiancé’s family is very laid back and would be comfortable wearing a T-shirt and jeans to the wedding if they could and I’m scared they’ll think it’s over the top. I’ve always made bold fashion choices but in front of my family members and my fiancé’s family I usually tone it down. We also had to switch our location because of covid and instead of our original venue we’re getting married in a backyard so it’s a lot more casual than we had original planned. I love the way I look in the dress but I’m just worried about the judgment I might get. Here’s a picture for reference sorry about the mess I’m in the process of moving. Nervous I’ll feel over dressed 1

    Your dress is absolutely gorgeous! I don't think its too over the top and even if its a more laid back wedding you still get to look fabulous 🙂

    I think you look beautiful and if you feel good in it it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. If someone seriously has the nerve to criticize you on your wedding day, that’d be the end of that relationship for me. Just because you are having a backyard wedding now doesn’t mean you don’t get to keep some parts of your original wedding. Be you and make a statement, you don’t have to tone yourself down for others!

    Beautiful dress!! Don't worry about what anyone thinks about the color or whether they think it's too formal or not - it's your wedding, you can wear whatever you'd like! People will always have their opinions no matter what you choose, and since you can't please everyone, you might as well do what makes you happiest.

    Thank you! I know I shouldn’t care and do what makes me happy. I just some times tend to care too much about what people think but I’m happy with the dress.

    You look great!! If there's any day you shouldn't have to worry about toning down your bold fashion choices just to satisfy others, it's your wedding day. Wear exactly what you want to wear!

    I understand, but the person whose opinion matters, other than your own, fell in love with you exactly the way you are and is going to be stunned when he sees you!

    This would be over the top in the yard. Yours is simple, classic elegance, and right anywhere but the beach.
    Relax, it is gorgeous. You cannot change his family. But will their not being dressed to the nines hurt your wedding? No. No one is looking at them. And it is a yard, not a Cathedral or ballroom, so they will not stick out. Talk to your family and friends to be a little dressier. You are beautiful, and you and the groom will care only about each other, really.
    I was the only one who messed up at my wedding, much laughter, and instead of his vows he laughed and said, I'll take her anyways. And still, happily ever after.

    First of all, you look gorgeous. Second, it's pretty much impossible for a bride to look overdressed on her wedding day. After all, if you can't be your most dressed up and glamorous self on your wedding day, when can you be?

    You look gorgeous and how you feel in the dress is the only thing that matters. There’s no such thing as the bride being overdressed on her wedding day!

    Wow! You look gorgeous! Do you LOVE it? Then that’s all that matters. DON’T listen to others. It’s not their wedding day or their wedding photos.

    You look stunning! It’s your day, you deserve to wear what makes you happy. It doesn’t matter if it’s at a fancy venue or a backyard, you’re the bride and anyone who says anything about it definitely needs a lecture on etiquette.

    I think it looks beautiful. Who cares what everyone else will think? If you love it then it shouldn't matter about everyone's possible judgment. It's you and your fiances day, not theirs! I think it looks amazing Smiley heart
