Second guessing dress

Alright ladies I need some reassurance. I'm getting married in about two months. I just went for my dress fitting since it came in and I feel like not totally in love with the dress. Even like a couple months after choosing it I was having second thoughts. Was anyone else like this? Were you happy...
Alright ladies I need some reassurance. I'm getting married in about two months. I just went for my dress fitting since it came in and I feel like not totally in love with the dress. Even like a couple months after choosing it I was having second thoughts. Was anyone else like this? Were you happy on your wedding day with the dress on? I feel like maybe it's just cause I've gained weight and I haven't been all done up with it on. Ugh pray for me! Lol cfb_1344273.jpg

    As much as I love shows like Say Yes to the Dress, they totally have given brides this perception that the dress they pick is the single most important decision of all. That if you don't get the PERFECT dress, what is the point? There is more of an emphasis in the wedding industry on finding the perfect dress and that making or breaking your day than finding the perfect guy. This also feeds into why having "wedding dress regret" is a common thing but you rarely hear "wedding flower regret" or "wedding venue regret"- because the industry has placed a very specific emphasis on your outfit.


    I bought the 3rd dress I tried on. I love it, however is it THE one? Probably not. If I went to 10 more shops, I probably could find a better option. If I doubled my budget, it would open up more options. If I flew to New York, or London I could have tried on designers not available to me in Arizona. If you look at all the options out there, really unless you get something personally made, designed and tailored for you, hypothetically there always will be a better option out there.


    At the end of the day, you've already made the most important decision by saying yes. Your dress is stunning, and I hope that once everything comes together, it you will feel like a beautiful bride

    Omg I've never even heard or thought about that! That's so true!! Everything you said is right on also. I feel like I could've probably looked at a few more stores as well but at the time I said this is the one. So I need to stick with my gut feeling that I had at that time and be done with it. I think once the day comes it'll all come together. Thank you for your kind words!😭❤
