I’m getting married next week, and have had a lot of trouble with regards to my wedding dress. My first wedding dress I bought (well my dad bought it) the company went into administration and I lost my dress, veil, bridesmaids dresses, and never got my money back. My dad bought me another dress and at the time, I loved the dress, i felt I had to get a cheaper one as my dad had already paid for one an lost out. So I felt a huge amount of pressure to hurry up an find a dress as I only had a few months to do so. A few people have told me they don’t like the dress, and as time has gone on, Iv grown to dislike my dress, I keep thinking about another dress I tried, I wish I’d gotten that one. I’m very conscious of my body an not at all confident. I’m so gutted I’m feeling this way, I keep telling myself that once my hair an makeup is done I will look fine, but I’m so down at the moment it’s constantly on my mind. Am I alone? Has anyone else had this feeling? Has it gone? Was everything ok on the day?

Can you post pictures of you in the dress? Kind of a dick move for people to tell you they dislike it after you’ve already bought it.

I go back and forth on mine… There are aspects of it that I do love but I haven’t been as happy with it since we started alterations… I will stick with it and make it work but sometimes I wish I had bought “the other one”.

aimz88 : Dress regret is normal. I was constantly second guessing my dress. When I put it on for my wedding day, I couldn’t believe that I ever had second thoughts.
Can you post a pic?

aimz88 : TBH if your goal is to please everyone with your dress, that’s impossible. We all have different tastes. Instead of thinking about what someone else said about your dress, you need to look at it and decide what YOU think. Do you love it? If you do, be confident. (Who cares about the haters?) Wearing the dress with confidence makes it even more beautiful!

aimz88 : What did the first dress look like? I ask becasue some bees are like I can’t decide between dress A and dress B and they are nearly identical.
I like this dress, but what I like doesn’t matter a lick. Its all about you. As for pleasing people, it won’t happen. Only YOU can like it. No one really got to voice an opinion about mine, and even if they did it wouldn’t have mattered since they weren’t wearing my blue lovely.
With your hair up you will see the sleves and the back of the dress more. Will you get a veil? What type of headpiece? Have you looked for those yet?

aimz88 : You look gorgeous! And I love that the dress isn’t “wearing” you, if that makes sense. That belt is so, so flattering (and the veil is amazing with it).

I think it’s lovely. I’m not sure why people said they don’t like it. To minimize that noise, don’t show it to anyone else so you won’t have other reasons to second guess yourself.

Thanks for your comments guys, i’m not trying to impress people it’s just that, when they said they wasn’t keen i think it’s because they saw me in my first dress an obviously prefer that. but no matter what i tried, i couldnt get that dress back. VICTORIANCHICK i wish i could wear my hair up, but it really doesn’t suit me at all. i’m having a full length veil, im having a half up half down type hairstyle, (if that makes sense) i’v been so stressed i have syrasis now. Im not the type of person to stress over such trivial things, (i know a wedding dress is important and worry worthy, but i’m not like that, or at least i didn’t think i was!!) i feel like im being silly, but i dont really have anyone to talk to, or to just vent or stress to. So thanks for your comments and support. means more than you know. xxx

I think your dress is just beautiful! You lookl ike the perfect, classic bride. Please shelve your regrets. I don’t know what your previous dress looked like and nor will your guests but the one you have is a winner for sure.

aimz88 : half up half down makes sense. No worries.
