Too soon to find a wedding dress?

Hi everyone! I may just be freaking out for no reason, but I wanted some advice. My future mother-in-law and I were dress shopping for fun over the weekend.

Hi everyone! I may just be freaking out for no reason, but I wanted some advice.


My future mother-in-law and I were dress shopping for fun over the weekend. When we went to the second store to try dresses on, this dress on a mannequin caught my eye when I walked into the door. It was just so sparkly and pretty. I tried on other dresses then realized I had to try on the dress that caught my eye or I would regret it. I tried it on, and I couldn’t stop staring at it. When the veil was put on me, I almost cried. My future mother-in-law said that she never saw me smile so much in a dress. Apparently I lite up when I was in the dress. I liked how it made me feel, and it was the kind of style that I wanted, tulle. I could just imagine getting married in it. I decided to say yes to the dress. It was even 20% off. My wedding is June 12, 2021. Was it too soon to find a dress? I’m worried that it was too soon. I always start second guessing myself. I’m also worried of what people will think of it because it’s a little more plain. What do you all think? Please helppp.

    I am getting Married in October 2020 and I went "looking" and found my dress a month after I got engaged in March 2019 and I absolutely love my dress. I started having a little bit of doubt but I think that's normal! If you love your dress and couldn't see yourself getting married in anything else than that's all that matters!

    If you felt that feeling and you love it, then I’m sure it’s the one and who cares what anyone else thinks! ☺️

    If you had such a visceral reaction to it and know that it was “the one”, then I say you made the right choice! And you even got it at a discount! (Woo hoo!) now, the trick is to stop looking at dresses. Don’t google them, don’t go shopping anymore. So many brides end up buying two, three, four dresses because they just can’t stop looking. Congratulations on finding your dress!!!

    If you feel it’s the one for you then it’s the one! Absolute worst case..... you could try and resell it

    I found my dress two years in advance which is early but I knew it was it! It's been a year and I'm still in love with it and cannot wait another year to wear it! If you know it's your dress get it 😊

    I had this same problem, I still love my dress but the only thing I regretted was the weight gain over the 2 years we were trying to decide when to have the wedding. So if you’re able to maintain over a long period of time.

    If you want to get it and you like it . Do it girl! It’s just can be risky I guess because things can change , like your mind etc . But do what you want in the moment. Who knows , you won’t ever regret it because that’s what you want in the moment. You look so pretty in the dress by the way .

    I waited all of like 2 weeks after getting engaged knowing I wanted a year engagement. I wouldn’t order it quite yet since you have a longer time until your wedding just so nothing happens to to it. I’m glad you found your princess dress!

    It's great that you think you found your dress. but keep in mind that wedding dress styles change so often and so frequently. Think about if address that you chosen, will it be in style in 2021. Just something to think about. But if you feel confident go for it. Best of luck

    I'm getting married in 2021. I will be dress shopping next yr summer. Just because I'm doing it then, doesn't mean others do. You can do what you want for your wedding. It isn't about everyone else. If you found your dress, then it is your's. Don't try on anything else tho and do not have regrets. Also watch the weight between now and your wedding date. Other than that, CONGRATULATIONS

    It can take some people forever to find the dress that is right for them! Be happy that you found something you absolutely love so soon! It is so pretty! I would just maybe wait to have alterations done in case your weight or shape changes in any way.

    Yeah, I thought about that, but people wear vintage stuff all the time and what not. That stuff doesn’t really matter to me. Thanks!
