What do you do to calm "did i chose the wrong dress" moments?

Remember what it has that makes you feel beautiful and remind yourself that any other dress has a risk of not making you feel the same. Do you really want to take a risk right now? I had similar feelings and then I remembered that not only is mine beautiful, it makes me feel that way and is super comfortable too. You picked it for a reason

I agree!!! Stop looking!! Lol I just ordered the very first dress i tried on I went back and forth about it at first but then I still kept thinking about “the dress” So after 3 different dress changes I went back to my original love!

The moment you said yes was pure instinct! It was meant to be...I think it's natural to second guess your choice, I did, but I go back to the thought that I said yes in that moment for a reason. It will go away, don't stress about it girly

I did that, I deleted the Pinterest board that housed my dress ideas, I got rid of everything that had dresses on it, because I'd heard that. It really helped, but maybe because the wedding is getting closer, my mind is finding it easy to stress about it for no good reason?

Ugh thank you. I'm glad to see I'm definitely seeing now that I'm not the only one this has happened to!

I tell myself to turn off SYTTD and get off Pinterest. Seriously! That's where a lot of my second guesses come from.

I picked my dress because I loved how it looked and felt, and it was in my price range. The logical side of me reminds me that I cannot afford to buy a second dress because then it takes away from something else on our wedding day.

Of course! Like I said, I stopped looking at other dresses as soon as I bought mine. It's just frustrating that it keeps happening! Usually happens on days when I'm felling good about how plans are going - my brain trying to trick me into stressing about *something*. Thanks!

I'm glad you found the dress you love!! Yes, I stopped looking the day I bought my dress, to avoid having these thoughts! I have to keep reminding myself of exactly what you said - I still keep thinking about the dress I got, no matter which other ones I look at. Thanks!!!

I’m glad I’m not the only one feeling this way!!! I have to wait 5 more months for mine to come in, I’m hoping once I try it back on again all of those feelings will melt alway. For now I just stare at pictures of myself in it and hope I made the right decision!

You realize it is just a dress and not your marriage

I’m glad you asked this because I’ve had moments...and I think it’s easy with so many choices out there and with them being so expensive.

I had dress doubts too until it came in a few days ago. Putting it back on and falling instantly in love with it again removed all doubts.

Absolutely! That's a common one I've gone to recently. It's the people around me making every detail of my wedding feel like it's this huge deal when I have to keep telling them, and sometimes myself, that most of this stuff literally doesn't matter to 90%+ of the people coming

Yay! I'm glad!!!

Amen to that! It's so easy the closer my date gets, to get sucked into this stereotypical "panicked bride", and when I'm relaxed it seems to just draw in people who say "you look really calm for having to plan a wedding! Do you have X, Y, Z done yet?!" Like gee, thanks.

I worry sometimes. There was a bride on here who wore the dress I picked out, and I actually didn't like how it looked on her (awful as that is to say). But she must have loved how she looked in it... so now I worry that maybe I won't look good in mine, either.

I don't have dress regret as much as dress worry. I kinda wanted to go try on other dresses so I feel beautiful again and don't worry... but I also can't afford to be a two dress bride so I just stew instead.

If you have the dress or a picture of the dress, look at it and think about how you felt in it. Allow yourself to remember why this is the one. You knew at one point.

Thank you! That's something I've been thinking would probably be a good idea, to affirm that feeling

Oh sure! Thank you for your honesty, I feel better not feeling so alone with these occasional and frustrating feelings!
