Wedding Dress Anxiety

Kim, on November 20, 2019 at 7:19 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 25

Yesterday I put the deposit down on my wedding dress.

I have such anxiety regarding it now. I love it on and although it still needs to be fitted and it is too big I do love the look, I know it has to be fitted for my frame and pulled in at the waist. However I have had some people comment that I should go for a tighter more figure showing off dress. I wonder if it is normal to doubt your decision or if I should try to select a different dress from the same boutique instead?

I had anxiety over choosing a dress before I settled on this one even.

Any tips on how to handle the anxiety?

Should I keep looking or should I trust the feeling I had when I tried this dress on

    You look gorgeous! I think everyone has some hesitation after picking their dress because there's so many options out there you always wonder if there's something better. Ignore what other people are saying, you picked your dress for a reason!

    It's definitely normal to have doubts or anxiety about choosing your wedding dress, sooo many brides have dress regret and even those who don't have that stress because it's a big decision. Your dress is absolutely beautiful! Don't listen to the opinions of others about what THEY think you should wear, if you love it then it's the one! That being said, if you really are unsure about it (not because of others), then you should at least try on some other dresses at the same boutique, I'm sure they'd transfer your deposit. It's your day and you should love the dress you're wearing. Good luck!!

    I love your dress and think it looks gorgeous on you. I think everyone second guesses their dress but if you aren’t sure that you love it (forget what others say), then call the salon right away before it too late and ask them to hold off ordering it and try on more styles.

    Your dress is gorgeous! It's normal to feel the way you do but keep putting yourself back into the moment when you first saw yourself in that dress. You chose it for a reason and you knew what you were doing.

    Your dress is beautiful.
    I felt the same way last week. My dress should be coming in 1st week of December and I am praying I will still have the feeling I did when I bought it.

    Your dress is gorgeous and you look awesome in it! It definitely flatters your figure, and it will look incredible once it's fit to you. Just wait, once you try it on again after the alterations, you'll fall in love with it all over again--even more! There's a reason you loved it in the first place and you gotta trust your gut!

    If you liked the dress enough to buy it, then there’s no need to worry. Also, who cares what “some people” said? If you listen to everyone, they'll all have different opinions. “Some people” aren’t wearing the dress... you are.

    That dress is stunning! It shows off your tiny waist and love the delicate cross-cross straps in the back (and ethereal layered skirt). Trust your gut, girl. This dress is stunning on you.

    First of all, your dress is stunning!!! Secondly, no one's opinion matters more than yours. YOU need to feel beautiful on your big day. If you like the look of your dress than it is the one for you. You don't need to listen to others who like more fitted, less fitted, more ballgown, more lacy because that is their taste and yours may not be the same. It is completely normal to second guess, I did and I bought my dream dress. But when I put it on I felt like the luckiest bride to marry my love in a dress I want to wear again and again. I think you'll be fine.

    I think it's gorgeous- especially the back. Having doubts is totally normal- I was the same. I stewed about it for a few days and went back to the shop to try it on again (even though I had already put a deposit down--- so there wasn't really any going back)- and I still loved it. I just needed that after-the-fact confirmation.

    I think it looks amazing on you! I think second guessing is okay. But choose because that's what you want not what other people want.

    Trust your gut. It is absolutely beautiful! If you continue to look, you'll doubt what you know and become unhappy.

    It’s a beautiful dress and does show off your figure. As several others mentioned, there are so many options, and it’s overwhelming. You just have to trust your decision, I think it’s normal. Good luck!
