    I ordered my dress back in December and I loved it at the time, however now Im wondering if I should have gotten something simpler. Its very poofy and sparkly which I love, but wonder if I will look ridiculous in. I will be 34 when I get married and I wonder if people will think I'm too old to wear a dress like this.

    What is "too old" anyways?  Does it suit your body shape?  Do you feel good in it?  Does it go with the theme of your wedding?  Do you love it?  If you answered yes to these questions, then it is your dress!

    why would you feel bad about it? this is gorgeous and the question is how does the dress make you feel?  you dont have your age printed in your forehead!   so go on, enjoy your dress! Laughing

    Your day is all about you and how you feel. Do you feel beautiful in your dress? Do you love it? Then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks :)

    If you love it, wear it! It's a beautiful gown, and I agree with the other girls. This is YOUR day. And honestly...who could possibly have anything negative to say about such a beautiful dress? I say go for it!

    I agree with what other Bees are saying...if you love it, wear it!!!  No one's opinion matters as much as yours--you are the Bride, and it's your day....

    I am 34 right now, and I will be 35 a few days after the wedding.

    This is my gorgeous ballgown, for your reference. 

    I don't think anyone is stupid enough to tell me that I "can't" wear a dress this pouffy.  If I even hear a whisper of it, I will personally smack them with my bouquet.  I suggest you do the same if someone is so rude and socially awkward ;-)

    I also felt the same way, after a few passive agressive comments by FMIL but I do love my dress.  I will be 36 when I get married & it is a full on beautiful dress & I'm going to love it!  You only wear it once, why choose sometihng plain?
