I honestly think it's completely normal to be thinking that way about your dress. I found my dress the first night we looked, cried, had the whole "feeling", etc. Didn't want to commit so I looked around for two months until I realized nothing would come close. Bought it, and now it's hanging in my closet (the wedding isn't until February). And NOW I have that "I wonder if..." feeling. Which is ridiculous, I love(d?) my dress. I don't think you're crazy!

I just got a call today!! My trays came in!!! I'm picking them up next Thursday!!!


Oh and we got our planner! her name is Michelle Wenzler! I'm so excited! I haven't spoken with her yet but she sent me an email!!

That is so exciting! make sure you take advil the first day of the new ones it will help with the pain.

We have the same planner too! She seems very nice so far to me! Can't wait to hear more of your plans

I think the dress looks beautiful and remember buying a wedding dress is like dating, once you find the right one you stop looking, lol. I started having the same doubts but when I went to try it on again, it made me feel great...I didn't get that magical crying moment you first have again but it made me feel the way I want to look.

I would ry on the dress again, with everything...head piece, jewelry, shoes etc., deck urself out and you might get the feeling back. Worse comes to worse, wear it for the reception and buy urself a new gown for the ceremony.

Thanks girls for all the encouragement. It makes me feel better!

But I still cheated on my dress today. Here are the pictures:
The back

kinda what the back would look like bustled

and the front

I love this dress. Its gorgeous. The pictures don't do it justice!(they're cell phone pics) Now I come to a new dilemma...If I buy this dress am I going to look too formal against his tan suit and green tie? or will it be ok? Also this dress is $1240 Thats more than my original dress. Plus I'd have to pay to have the bustle put in. I asked about buying the sample and they only take off10% which is $124. I forgot to ask what designer it was cause I might be able to find it online cheaper so now I'm searching all over the internet.

Honest opinions please!

Hi Larisa! I love the new dress. I don't it will be too formal for what your soon-to-be husband will be wearing.

 

[puente0629]

Do not worry about it being too formal for what ur hubby to be will be wearing...my sister wore a formal form fitting mermaid wedding dress and it did not clash with her hubby's tan suit.

Here's a pic of my sister...

Sorry to hear you are having a hard time with this! I really like both dresses, so I can see why it's a tough decision. I like the second dress a little better, but it is a lot of money to spend since you already have another really great dress. Also, I think the first dress would look really great with a tan tux, but I don't think the second dress would look bad or too formal with it either. Either way I think you will be happy with your choice since they are both great dresses. You have some time so I would take a week or two to think about it, and try both dresses on again, take pictures in both, and compare them.

I think these are the collective attitudes that I am taking towards this situation. Initially I was really upset but in the end there are lots of options. You girls have really made me feel sooo much better! Thank you soooo much!

I really like the look of the first dress. Do you have a picture of it on. I think it looks really pretty on the hanger. The second one is nice too. There are so many decisions to be made when you get married it can be overwhelming. In the end you are the one that has to be happy.

Theres a picture of me in the first dress in my first post. if you click on it you can see a larger version.

Right now I'm giving it like 3 or 4 days and I'm gonna come back to it and make my decision. I tried my first dress on again today and I think I'm leaning towards that one with maybe some crinoline underneath...idk yet

 

[tinkerbell 766]

I have to be honest and say I prefer the first dress. I think it is sophisdicated and elegant!!
Don't worry about never wearing a 'princess' dress again. Indulge your fantasies and have a VR in about 10 years time like me!!!

 

[goofyfordisney16]

I found the second dress from this website for $650 now I'm just busy trying to find out if its legit...but still having the internal battle! http://www.cupdress.com/Sophia-Tolli-Wedding-Dresses-Y1937---Amelie/30919/dress.html

I like either dress, your current one is really unique and beautiful, but I agree, that second one is lovely too

Will you be selling the first dress if you end up buying the second one? Also, will you be selling the 2nd dress after the wedding? Doing that could help you recoup and money lost on it.

You know what I'd do? I'd take your dress to the dress store that sells the new dress and see if they'd mind if you tried both on to compare.

I had the same problem when ordering my dress. I've bought it through perfectbridal.com and now have to wait for the end of November for it to come I hope it's legit!

If I bought the second dress I'd be wearing it for the ceremony and some pictures and then switching into the first dress for the second half of the pictures and the reception/dessert party. and I'd most likely be selling the second one online afterwards. The first dress I would keep, have it shortened, and have an album cover made out of the scraps. I'd love to try them both on next to each other. I might just end up calling the store and asking if I can do that.

THe whole dress thing is going on hold for right now. If I really feel that I need a "princess dress" I can pick one up cheap later, for now I'm going to have to be OK with what I've got.

Other than that my boss is telling me the t I'm not going to be able to take the week of January 2-8 for my PS trip. He wants me to go the week of Dec 17-23. Good news: we'll probably be able to catch a MVMCP! Bad news: We will be traveling the day before Christmas Eve probably into PHL, one of the WORST airports in the country! The flights are going to b uber expensive and I hope I can find a room! ugh! we:ll deal with it with a smile!

Up next bridesmaids dress/groomsmen tie color/fabric.

 

[*Pixiedust1438*]

We are going there that week for our PS too! (well the 16th-21st, we had to do a short trip cuz DF already used all his vacation time). We have never been around Christmas time so I am super excited to be going then. Flights are expensive that week though, I still haven't booked ours because I don't want to pay what their asking, I have miles, but of course they are blocked out that week! On the plus side, we ended up booking POP for $87 a night, which I thought was a pretty good deal!

I really think you might be happy in the end with your first choice, since that's what you keep leaning towards. Like PP said if you want to do a VR 10 years from now you can wear that princess dress if you desire!

I love the first one!! I think it fits you well and can picture it with a tan suit and love it!! I think once everything falls into place you'll be happy with your choice.

Oh cool! we should totally meet up for lunch!! thats awesome that you got POP so cheap! My parents are booking us a week in their time share off property. They are super old school and traditional and aren't ok with the whole sharing a bed/room thing so I said I'm sorry, we can't afford 2 different rooms, if you want that to happen then you can pay for it. So now we have a 2 bedroom condo with a full kitchen!

Oh I hope your right! I might just be going through a "doubting phase" lol I started doubting other stuff the other day, like my photographer which is crazy cause I go to their blog every day and gush and swoon over all their pictures and I really do love them. I know its crazy and I'm over that one. The girls and I have an appointment on Wednesday with the shop where I got my dress to look for bridesmaids dresses. I'm also bringing my dress along to try it with a crinoline and see if that solves my problem...I really thing I just don't like the way the dress falls in the front....that might just be it....

Hey there

Just joining in but I wanted to let you know that I had a ton of doubts too! When you plan ahead its only natural to have other ideas pop in your head and wonder what if i did that instead

But honestly remember that you loved the dress, photographer, location etc for a reason That's what pulled me through. As long as you stay true to you then you should be in the clear. Half the reason i had dress doubts is because my mom and moh said one thing and i went originally with another idea in mind. But in the end I ended up choosing a dress that met both ideas in the middle.

Can't wait to read more
