Second guessing my wedding dress..

Grace, on August 21, 2020 at 7:43 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 14
I went wedding dress shopping the other day for the first time. I wasn’t planning on finding anything, but I did. I had the moment, everyone around me had the moment, etc. I went back yesterday to try it on again and try on a few more just to be sure, and I was sure so we ordered it. However, I’m an overthinker, a horrible overthinker. So of course i’m over thinking everything about this. There isn’t one part of the dress I don’t love but now i’m questioning if it looks “bridal” enough, if I rushed into it too soon, etc. It wasn’t exactly what I was picturing when I pictured my dream dress so I’m having trouble with that too. Someone tell me i’m not alone!! 😩

    You're definitely not alone. I had the same feeling and ended up buying a new dress. I'm still in love with it. If it's not your dream dress and it's really bothering you, I'd say go find your dress! Do you have a photo of your current dress??

    That’s a gorgeous dress! If you’re still having doubts you can definitely try on more dresses and see if you find one you feel more strongly about.


    I think a lot brides have a bit of doubt. I know I definitely did. I actually found the dress I wanted and fell in love online and ordered it without ever trying it own. I’ve had it since March and because of Covid I haven’t had anyone come help trying it on and was really starting to doubt. I almost ordered a second dress. But when I finally got to try it on I fell in love with it all over again.

    I love it! I hope you do too...it’s important that you have that feeling when you try it on, which it sounds like you did in that moment.

    I am horrible with being decisive on dresses, so I understand.

    Yea. It's gorgeous. I overthink as well so I don't blame you. I'd definitely give it some time and if you still feel the same way later down the road, then go shopping again to be sure. Maybe then it would ease your mind and help you figure out whether or not you still have doubts. Still a beautiful choice you have. You can't go wrong.

    Your dress is gorgeous and it’s not uncommon to second guess it. The key is to stop looking at dresses if you love it.

    Your dress is beautiful, and definitely bridal! I think you are probably just overthinking it. Trying on dresses can be overwhelming and confusing at times. Try to be excited that you checked this important event off of your list. Good luck with the rest of your planning!

    That dress is gorgeous! As others have said, it is common to second guess your decision, but I think once you try it on again, you will fall in love all over again Smiley smile

    Oh girl I feel ya! I found my wedding dress for my big wedding on day 1 and it’s still my absolute favorite. However.... I’m on dress #4 FOUR, for our upcoming micro wedding. Yup I have 4 dresses in the closet that I just stare at still trying to decide. Good luck!

    You are definitely not alone. I found my dress at the second boutique I went to. I think I tried on about 8 to 10 dresses total. It made me feel great, I had planned on waiting but I felt so good I bought it. The next morning the first thing I did was go look at pics to make sure I still loved it and I did. About a week later the thoughts crept in. Did I rush? Did I pick the right one? Is it going as comfortable as like an a line or bigger dress?(its a very form fitting dress) Don't get me wrong I love my dress and have no regrets on buying it but I flip flop literally every other day on how I feel about it. I think its normal, or at least I hope it is lol. And I think your dress is very bridal and gorgeousss!

    Beautiful dress you can be overthinking it but try another dress on to see how you feel then about the original dress...

    I bought this same exact dress I absolutely loved it. And I still do. I think for me it looked like the perfect bridal dress. But not everyone has the same style. I originally bought a mermaid style wedding dress because I never thought I wanted a ball gown. But after a month of looking at pictures of myself in my dress I ended up disliking it because I didn't feel I looked like a bride. Now I have this one and I absolutely love it. My only advice is that if you don’t feel bridal enough in it then it might not be the one. Try looking at dresses you never thought you would wear as a bride.
