Wedding Dress Thoughts

Bella, on July 24, 2019 at 10:22 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 30
Hey ladies!
For the most part I have been watching from afar and seeing everyone else post about their big day and the preparation for it! Though, I am at the point of picking out my wedding dress and am looking for some honest feedback.
I went by myself and tried on this dress and instantly had fallen in love with it. (Clearly it is a sample size that was too small, so please disregard the button popping on the back.) I cannot get it out of my head and I can see myself walking down the aisle in this dress. Though, I had gone dress shopping with a few that are close to me and they had all seemed to like a dress that was, to me, more "extra" than what I would like. (More beading, more traditional lace, longer train ect.)
I have an appointment set to go back on Tuesday to show my mom the dress in person, and I also had planned on ordering the dress that day as well, though, I have a few thoughts in my head as to if I should go with a dress I love, even though not expected, or if I should try and search to find something that may suit the taste of my family more.
To set the scene for the day, my FH and I will be getting married outside in our venues gardens. The color scheme and decor will be organic with dust blue and hints of dusty orange, amber and gold accents (muted sunset colors) and greenery will be used as a decor staple as well.
I intend on adding draping off the shoulder straps in the same lace that is as the bottom of the dress, as well as potentially building up the neckline a bit so it is not as low.

I would love to hear your feedback as well as see and hear about your wedding dresses!

    That's a nice gown! Is that the one you said your family liked on you?
    But honestly I'd go with what YOU love. Because you're the one wearing it and regardless of what you choose you'll be beautiful in it and they'll be happy for you

    The dress is beautiful! I personally don't think you need to add any type of draping, but if that makes you feel comfortable then go with it. The neckline is actually really flattering on you but you can probably have them add lace to it so it's not so showy. Obviously, don't have them make any dress alterations until after you get the dress in the right size because what you think you want to be changed may be different once everything is sitting in a different place.

    Gorgeous!

    Girl, WHO CARES WHAT THEY WANT!!! First of all, that dress looks amazing on you as is (obviously the right size). No need to go looking for something that’ll please anyone else. That’s the biggest mistake you can make. You’ll end up looking back and wishing you got the one you fell in love with. Just go with your gut! It’s YOUR day and you deserve to feel beautiful and confident!!

    You are the one wearing the dress! You already fell in love with the dress. Forget everyone else's opinions, and just go with what makes you happy and comfortable. I fell in love with my dress, and I knew I would regret it if I didn't get it. Follow your gut! It's YOUR wedding!


    P.S. The dress is GORGEOUS!

    Get what you love, you’re the one wearing it! Our daughter wants me in a huge ball gown “like a princess,” my FH requested “nothing too poofy,” my best friend says mermaid to show off my curves, my mom says lace....but I know on the day no one will be thinking about the dress they thought I should get.

    I love that dress, and I like the neckline as is - but I am a sucker for a plunging neckline.

    I would definitely go with the dress that YOU love and feel comfortable in. Family opinion is nice, but they aren't wearing the dress and you should do everything in your power to make the day exactly what you wanted...dress included!
