Does anyone ever question whether they chose the right gown or even see pics of other gown's they like better? I love my gown, but I see pictures all the time of other gowns that I would have like to try on or that even look prettier than mine and I kind of get upset. I wonder if I made the right choice and just hope I look beautiful the day of my wedding. I am afraid I will not. Here is a pic of my dress (which I love) I just sometimes wish I picked a dress with organza or the new style 'pinched' dresses.
it's funny.. but I remember that one day I saw this other girl try on the most beautiful dress and I, of course, had to ask the bridal consultant to let me try that dress on too.. and when I put it on it was absolutely terrible.
I wouldn't question the choice you made. i'm sure your dress is beautiful and you'll be beautiful in it.

Your right. I tried on 100 dresses and all different styles. But most looked better on the rack or on someone else.

Re: Has/did anyone question their wedding gown?
I can relate to this 100% I ordered my gown and I came across another one I thoguht I wanted more, I've been having so much dress drama, I tried to cancel and then I couldn't so now theres nothing I can do about it (I basically sell the gown or eat the money) the dress I picked IS beautiful but I wish I had waited longer to get my dress because I am not 100% about it. I hear a lot of stories of brides getting their dress and then changing their minds (my best friend being one of them) I think once you pick your gown you have to STOP looking completely or you will drive yourself NUTS!!!!!

Re: Has/did anyone question their wedding gown?
jellybean, I'm not kidding you here at all. You need to understand that I'm dead serious here.
When I saw YOUR gown, I thought that if I had tried it on, I would have picked it over mine.
So when it comes to 'the grass is always greener', keep in mind that others are envious of your dress too!!
I think that yours is spectacular, but I don't regret my choice.

Every Single DAY! I know I settled simply b/c the dress I really wanted cost double what I paid for the one I got. I am hoping that I will love it once I lose some weight and get it altered...

Re: Has/did anyone question their wedding gown?
yes! i bought a dress last july, but just returned it and bought a brand new gown from a totally different store! it's my dream dress and exactly what i wanted. i can't believe i did it 2 months before my wedding, but i'd been doubting it for almost a year. if you doubt it as strongly as i did, you need to do something about it. if you only doubt it because you see 'prettier' dresses, stop looking!

Re: Has/did anyone question their wedding gown?
I agree I had the same problem with my dress which I ordered just a few weeks ago. I tried on 30 dresses of varying style but didnt really look too hard 'cus I know what style would look best on me. Then stumbled upon a dress online and almost bought that site unseen. i did get to try it on though before ordering it online.
Now I wonder if I shortchanged myself by only giving myself two weeks to look for a dress. Hehe..
The dress you picked out is lovely, and you have to remember how good it looks on you and forget browsing through anymore bridal mags! :)

This is why I am waiting until the year of my wedding to choose my gown. . .I know how indecisive and picky I am.

Re: Has/did anyone question their wedding gown?
I completely felt this way. A lot. I still do. mine isdue to come in this week and I cannot wait to see it. I am confidant as others have told me that I will fall inlove with it again when i try on MY dress not the sample. But I have thought I didn't like it anymore or that my FH would think I look ridiculous.
I absolutely LOVE your dress and I promise I am not just saying that. It is so elegant and classy. You are going to be beautiful!
Here is mine

I lost a $400 deposit, because I changed my mind. I feel sick with guilt about it all the time.
But I know I made the right decision. I LOVE love love love my new dress. the other one, I kept trying to figure out ways to change it. I would suggest going to the salon to try on your dress everytime you think you doubt it. You will probably fall in love with it all over again!

I did too... and then my sister said something that stuck with me. There will always be dresses that might be prettier on the hangar - you just have to remember how you felt in yours.... My sister said I just lit up when I put mine on.

That's a good way to look at it.
I had an idea what I wanted when I went into the store and after seeing everyone's beautiful dresses I had doubts, maybe I should've looked around more. Over the weekend my mom was showing my dad's side of the family pics of me in my dress and I fell in love with it again.

Re: Has/did anyone question their wedding gown?
I think that for a lot of us, there is more than THE ONE dress that we could wear and love and look beautiful in on our wedding day. I saw dresses all the time on here that I thought were gorgeous and when I had doubts I visited my sample and tried it on. I felt like a princess in it. Could I have found another dress that would have been just as good? probably..but I was SO happy with mine. I think if you are truly unhappy with it, you should find one you love but otherwise, STOP looking!

Re: Has/did anyone question their wedding gown?
I'm with ya! I question mine all the time because it is soooo traditional. Then I go and try it on and I almost come to tears when I see myself in it!! I get the chills and I just fall in love all over again!

Yes! And my FI knew how I was feeling and he said 'If you get 2 dresses I won't marry you' (meaning like to change into 1/2 way through) I had said that as a joke once.

Re: Has/did anyone question their wedding gown?
I am going through this right now.
I saw my dress online as soon as I was engaged and got into my head that it was 'the one.'
I bought it last July and haven't seen it since. My first fitting is the 16th so I'll know then if I still love it but..... I'm nervous.
