Wedding Dress Worries

Stop looking at dresses. That is all you need to do. If you continue to look you will continue to have FOBO. Just stop looking at dresses, and try to remember that you picked your dress for a reason

Let me start by saying, do not look at other dresses online. It will severely affect your opinion of your dress and instigate any doubts you may or may not had at first.

I was in a similar situation. I found a dress that felt "right". It was me. But I kept asking the, "What if"... and that gave me a lot of stress and headaches. It's not worth it.

If you truly feel doubtful of your dress, try it on again. What's that feeling you have? Is it the same one you had when you first put it on? Do you feel excited, comfortable, beautiful... yourself?

If the answer is a resounding 'no'... I suggest you find something that will be a 'yes' to those questions. The last thing you want is to feel regret. Do what's best for you.

I can 100% relate. I bought a dress after not trying many on. Everyone I was with loved it, and I felt like I did too. I do remember feeling a little hesitant when signing the contract and putting down the deposit, but I chalked it up to nerves and spending more than I've ever spent on an item of clothing.

These doubts didn't go away. I tried not looking at dresses online, but couldn't help it. I tried my dress on again, liked it, but just felt like there was something better out there. I tried just going home and forgetting about it, but the doubts just kept coming back.

Soooo, I tried on a TON more dresses. Every shape and style I could get my hands on. I also did this by myself, so I could avoid letting the opinions of others sway me. I finally found a dress I am head over heels in love with and can't wait to wear. I still love looking at dresses online, but that nagging doubt is no longer there. I know I found my dress.

Like PPs said, I would go and try yours on again. See how you feel. Try doing it alone so it's truly just your opinion. If you get that feeling again, like you don't want to take it off, then you know it's right. If you still have doubts, try more on. If you find one you love more, get it (if it's in your budget to purchase a second dress). I felt super guilty about spending money on 2 dresses, but in the end for me personally, it was so important to feel totally amazing in my dress. Good luck!

I just unfollowed a wedding dress Instagram account today when I realized I still followed it. I have my dress so there is no sense in looking anymore, I definitely don't want to overthink my dress because I loved it in the store. It blew my mind that I could look that good in something like that. And I think that's what you need to remind yourself of! The feeling you had when you picked it! You had that feeling for a reason!

There are thousands of dresses, and there could very well be more than one "right" dress for you (or anyone really), but obviously you can't have every single one that excites you! And there are going to be dresses you haven't discovered, you just have to feel comfortable in the decision you made, that that is the dress for you on your big day. You have to get past that "I have to see every dress ever made" feeling.

Try to limit your access to wedding dress inspiration pictures and see how you feel when you cool off. Spend some quality time with your dress, try it on, twirl in it, dance in it, whatever floats your boat. The FOMO you're having now may very well subside

You love your dress. Stop second guessing your choice. I think all of us that have purchased a dress have those moments where we wonder if we picked the right one. If your dress wasn't the perfect one you wouldn't have cried when you saw it with the veil. Trust your choice.

I had the same worries, but honestly it all changed once I stopped looking at other dresses! The ones that I thought I loved online probably wouldn't look good on me and my dress already was perfect.

I totally felt the exact same way!!! But I picked up my dress a few weeks ago and fell in love with it all over again after trying it on, and it being in the right size.

I went through similar worries due to the fact that I originally tried on the dress in blush and then purchased in ivory. Don't over think it too much! For me, it took trying it on at home often to get used to it. I believe I just had the picture of the other one in the color blush in my head for so long that by the time I saw it in the ivory color it was a bit of a shock. It took a while but I love it again. I'm sure you'll look great! There was a reason you bought it in the first place.

I loved my dress when I tried it on and purchased it. Then in the ~6 months it took for it to come into the bridal salon, I freaked out that it wasn’t the one, that I made a mistake, that it would look horrible on me. But then it came in, I tried it on again, my mom cried, and it looked amazing and better than it did when I first tried it on (probably because it was finally in the right size 😂). Maybe you can go try it on again to see if you have the same feeling. But if you loved the dress, chances are you’ll still love it at your wedding! Definitely stop browsing other dresses though, unless you’re certain that you hate the dress you chose.

Thank you all!! I definitely think I am going to love it again when I try it on with my hair somewhat done and the accessories! I scheduled a hair consultation and am going to try on my dress after that appointment so I can see more of a full picture!

I did delete all the pop-ups and un-followed all the places so that I wont be looking at any other dresses! Hopefully that helps as well.

Thank you guys!!!
