Know that wedding dress regret is normal….
There is so much pressure about the wedding dress. Thanks to shows like “Say Yes To The Dress,” women are almost wired to think that choosing a wedding dress is the biggest decision a bride will ever make.
We also assume that when we find “the” dress, we’ll stand in front of the mirror and weep happily. Reality is? This does not really happen.
In fact, many brides worry they purchased the wrong dress, and they face a ton of anxiety about it throughout the wedding-planning process.Part of the problem is the dress purchase happens so early on, and then we have a ton of time to overthink our decision.
Trust your gut. You purchased your dress for a reason. And turn off the reality TV shows!
Found the Dress you L-O-V-E, dont wait!!
One of the most stressful pre-wedding mistakes for brides is mistakenly ordering the dress too close to the wedding day. Call ahead to the bridal shop and make an appointment so you get a salesperson undivided attention. Also ask what sizes they carry in store as samples. If you’re having a couture wedding dress, make sure you know how long the designer needs to complete your dream dress and get your order placed as early as possible.
Its best to place your wedding gown order at least six months prior to your wedding day. Even if you’re buying off the rack, you will probably have to have your dress altered to fit you correctly. Make sure there’s enough time for alterations to be completed and any problems to be fixed before your wedding day. And ladies, I beg you to make sure your bustle will hold up the entire night and not let you down on the dance floor.
