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!

    Omg! It is absolutely gorgeous and just what I was looking for in terms of material, I just need cap sleeves.
    You obviously love love this dress. To be honest if I were you I probably would have ordered it on the spot! I’m going dress shopping soon and I’m thinking about going it alone. I want my opinion to count first and foremost. If you were unsure and in the fence that would have been a different story. Again that dress is amazing!

    I think it looks great. You are going to spend hours and hours in this dress, eating and dancing and posing for pictures. You have to feel comfortable with your dress.
    And in case you wonder if we are all being polite...I have seen other dresses on here and brides who have asked for opinions. And sometimes I think they’re awful, but I don’t say anything because the bride is so psyched about it. Why would I want to hurt a strangers feelings? I’m telling you the other ladies are right-this dress is a great fit (pun intended) for you and your venue.

    I looove this dress on you! It’s perfect. Please get the dress you love and don’t worry about what your family likes, it’s not their dress.

    You should never buy a wedding gown simply because your family likes it. It only matters what you like! You are the bride, you will be wearing the dress, and your wedding pictures will have you in the dress--forever!!

    Always go with what you love and feel beautiful in!! It's great when our families and friends love our choice, but it's not a requirement! They will see how happy this dress makes you and they will love it too!

    Go with what you love. You're the one wearing the dress and you need to be happy, feel beautiful, and be comfortable in it!

    I was in the same situation. Go with the dress that you can imagine yourself in! Its YOUR DAY not your family..Thats one thing I learned...

    I mean you can still look for a dress maybe one that both you and your family will like and agree on. But listen to your heart..

    Wow! That dress is incredible! I love love love the lace/flower design. I don't even want to call it lace because it doesn't really look like typical lace! The buttons in the back amazing, your boobs look so great in it, the train 😍😍😍. That is a great gown! You look so good and are going to shine in it and it sounds like it will fit your venue.
