Nervous I’ll feel over dressed

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 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. cfb_1423305.jpg

    It's impossible to be over-dressed at your own wedding! You're the bride - you set the tone!!

    I think you look stunning and you should rock the veil if you want to! Smiley love

    You look glamorous! Wow 😍 I also had similar feelings of feeling overdressed but my sister in law helped me feel better by telling me the bride has every right to dress how they want and no one should dim our shine! Everyone will have opinions but what is important is how you feel and if you feel beautiful than everyone will see you glow.

    Echoing everyone else -- as the bride, you pretty much can't be overdressed. As for the color? It is beautiful!

    The shop I got my dress from doesn't even carry white white dresses anymore because they're not flattering on most people, can look blue in photos, and just weren't selling. Champagne is still a perfectly "normal" bridal color.

    You look lovely!

    You look beautiful! If you love it and feel comfortable, wear it! We’re having a morning ceremony with brunch and I still have a ballgown and veil and dgaf.

    The color looks really good on you. The shape compliments you very well.

    I'm like you, I tend to overthink especially if it's thinking about what other people think. But one thing I have to keep telling myself is IT'S NOT THEIR WEDDING it's mine. And most people understand that. Everyone has different opinions and you can't please everyone. You are absolutely beautiful in that dress and veil and if you feel beautiful that is all that matters. You can still have a super elegant wedding even in a backyard.

    Girl I don't even know what you mean, you look gorgeous! And if anyone is going to be overdressed, it ought to be you! You're the bride and should be outshining everyone in attendance!

    You look amazing! I was worried about looking too over the top, but it’s the only time you can and should stand out because it’s your day! You don’t want to just look like a wedding guest or look like you’re wearing a dress you could wear to another event😁

    You look beautiful! Also you’re the bride, so you can never be overdressed. But, it broke my heart to hear how much concern you have about others’ views of you. That’s a losing battle because you will never be able to please everyone. But you said in your post that you love the way you look in your dress. So, the main person who you have to please is already satisfied.

    Your wedding your day. GO ALL OUT!!!! This will probably one of the few times you get a chance to be over the top.
    I know my family and friends will definitely call me bougie on my wedding day 😂😂😂

    Question...WHOSE DAY IS IT? YOURS! And don't forget it.. don't worry about them. Let them judge.. let the comments fly and roll off your back. Because guess what... It ain't their day.. ITS YOURS. and you'll regret changing something over a comment somebody said. Do it the way you want it.... I'm doing mine my way. And the comments aren't new for me... I'm getting married for the second time and in White!! Oh how the comments fly with that. But guess what, I never got to wear what I wanted the first time and have the wedding I wanted so now Im doing it my way. Do do it your way sweetheart cause I hope you only do I once!

    Absolutely love the dress. Is the veil opaque? I think it looks beautiful and not at all overdressed
