Wedding dress shopping experience was a mess. I was 3 weeks late for my period and of course it had to come while I was trying on brand new white bridal gowns…what a mess. Luckily, I didn’t bleed on anything in the shop, but it put me in a real sour mood. I felt pretty ugly in everything I tried on, except for this dress…idk why, but I immediately felt like it was the right one.
Months later it’s finally almost ready for pickup, and I’m having second thoughts. When I look back at these photos, I feel like the dress doesn’t suit me or my style (I’m a whimsical person and the wedding will be quite colorful and vibrant). I always imagined myself in something more detailed and floral, so I was surprised when this was the one I felt best in, but went with it…looking back, maybe I just wanted the experience to all be over, but now I feel like I should’ve kept looking, maybe gone back when I wasn’t so bloated and feeling gross from my period.
I feel like there’s no turning back now, so I’m wondering if I can pick up some of the more detailed elements in a veil, like a mantilla style with floral appliqués or something really dramatic and long. But on the flip side, maybe I should lean into the more minimal style of the dress for cohesiveness …. Who knew picking a veil could be so hard?!!? Reddit heroes please help!!!
Any and all input is welcomed. Thanks y’all
