In need of honest opinions about choosing my wedding dress PICS

I am having such a difficult time picking a wedding dress. I tried on so many and I do not get that crying, I don't ever want to take this dress off feeling. However, I do LOVE this dress and this is the one I keep coming back to. I took my bm's with me on Saturday and they also liked this one so I'm thinking I am just not a sappy individual and this is possibly THE dress. What do you girls think of it? Oh and I'm going to take the pictures down tomorrow because I recently found out that I am cool enough to have a stalker, his name is FH, so please don't copy and paste any of the pictures. Also, don't mind my scariness. I literally rolled out of bed and went dress shopping (rough night the night before), and thanks!

Also, she did not clip me in the back, the dress will be a little more fitted.

Its so pretty! That's how I knew my dress was the one... I compared all other dresses to it and kept coming back to it...

P.S. You don't look scary!!!

thanks, I feel like someone should have cried! But it's nice to know I'm not the only one who didn't cry when I found THE dress, if this is THE dress. This and finding a make-up artist is the hardest pat of wedding planning

Thanks Meg, I'm glad to hear a lot of people didn't cry when they found their dress, I thought I was an oddball.

just to make you feel better

i cried when i tried on my first ever dress and it DEFINITELY wasnt the dress - i hate it but i just cried bc i couldnt believe i was trying on wedding dresses

i DIDN'T cry when I tried on MY dress - i just kept going back to it and comparing other dresses to it so don't think you have to wait for some emotional experience! lol

you look beautiful - however, i just looked at your other gown options and the rest of them are so dramatic and glamorous. . . this one looks a little plain in comparison ( it is beautiful but not as dramatic ) kwim?

Thanks, I thought that too but the real dramatic dresses just didn't look right on me

I didn't have that feeling either....but there was one dress that made me do a double take in the mirror- but it wasnt what I thought I wanted, so I almost bought something else....however, my mind kept returning to the dress that made me do a 'who's that bride?' double take, so i went with that one...

Hopefully, I will still love it when it comes in (hopefully soon- only 54 days left!)

lol that is dramatic! This dress is about 6k less than that and my mom is freaking out about it. That's why I need your opinions, my mom bases hers on price.

Mine too! I really think that if I were deciding between two dresses and I looked like crap in one, but it was less money than the other one, my mom would love it.

sigh. moms.

unfortunately my mom is the opposite. . .we are totally middle class but my mom really wants to show off with my wedding. . . she thinks my dress is 'cheap' she wanted me to get something in italy and then FLY BACK to pick it up . . . like we are in platinum weddings or something

Re: In need of honest opinions about choosing my wedding dress PICS

its a pretty dress!

as long as you're happy in your dress then its the dress for u!

i didnt cry when i got my dress either....more excited that i found something i liked that i thought looked good on and i felt comfy in.

i got sappy when a lady was telling me to picture myself walking down the aisle in a dress - it was supposed to be a 'test' (which i didnt get cuz it wasnt me and i really didnt like it)...but the sappy/crying feeling wasnt because of the dress it was cuz i was thinking about the actual day.

I love the dress on you and I love the veil with it. Out of all the dresses I've seen you post I think this one is it as well.

I love this dress more than any of the ones in your album. It's really pretty, and there's not a ton of unnecessary poof on the bottom to overwhelm you. I think it's great on you!
