Second Thoughts on my Wedding Dress

Vanessa, on August 14, 2019 at 5:59 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 5

2 weekends ago I went wedding dress shopping for the first time. My wedding is not till December 2020, but I went because my grandma was in town and I wanted her to see me in a few wedding dresses before she left. I ended up loving this dress and it was also very cheap. I tried on a total of 5 dresses and decided on the 4th one. I told the lady that was helping me that I would come back in two weeks to put the deposit but then she texted me later that same day saying they had 10% off my dress so I went back and gave some money and signed a contract so I could get the 10%. I was happy and excited but then I went home and started looking at pictures of other dresses that I absolutely loved and started second guessing my dress. The dress I chose hasn't been ordered because I didn't give the full 50% deposit so I asked if maybe I could try on different dresses but I am not sure if I should just stay with the one I chose or keep looking. I am having major second thoughts, but I feel like there is nothing I can do about it anymore since I signed the contract at the bridal shop already Smiley sad Any advice? Should I try getting my money back or maybe looking for a new dress?

    I think you should try it again and see how you feel about it. Of course if is not your choice you can try to use this deposit for another dress in the same shop. I’m sure they have a lot of options. I do not think they’ll give you the deposit because of the sign contract. I would also suggest to read the contract and see what it says.
    Good luck!

    I have these thoughts, too but every time I put on my dress I remember why I chose it. It is very common to feel this way! Just remember, someone may see you in your dress and feel the same way about the dress that they chose.

    It's totally normal to have second thoughts! I regretted my dress almost as soon as it was purchased. When it came in, I tried it on again. Ever since then I've been thrilled with my choice and can't wait to wear my dress again!

    Hey Vanessa!

    As the pps have mentioned, it’s totally normal to have second thoughts about your dress. Would it be possible to go back into the bridal salon and try your dress on again? Hopefully, this will remind you of everything that you love about your dress and reaffirm your decision. If, after this, you are still second-guessing and think that you would be happier with another dress, then you can discuss your options with your sales assistant.

    What is your dress like?
