Wedding dress regret
How do I decipher between true wedding dress regret and my normal severely indecisive, untrusting of my own decision making personality?
My mom and sister were very verbal about how much they LOVED the dress with the straighter neck line. I loved it too because it made me feel pretty and sweet and innocent and nice and beautiful. I originally tried on the second dress in a different underlay color and my sister and mom really didn’t like it which I was bummed about because I loved it. I didn’t tell them, but it was my clear #1. I left with nothing. I Went back to the shop the second time and tried the second dress on in a different underlay color and then my sister and mom really liked it this time. My sister was still verbal about how much she loved the straight neck one. At this point, I was truly unsure, which dress had an edge over the other. There was something about the second dress and I really did love. I couldn’t put my finger on what I liked better about it, but I did feel more like “me” in it. I think my mom and sister and bridal consultant could tell after a few hours of trying both dresses on back and forth that I didn’t want to let them down and tell them I liked the second dress better so everyone came over telling me how pretty I looked in the second dress, and I even heard my mom say “that’s her dress. It shows her personality. It has to be her dress.” which made me happy so I said yes to the second dress (which I always thought I liked slightly more than the straight neck dress.)
I think I loved the straight neck dress so much because it was so elegant and pretty, and I was trying to fit myself into a sweet innocent bridal box. It’s a dress that I don’t think anyone could hate. I seriously don’t see what you could say negatively about it! With the second dress, I know there’s going to be people that don’t like it or will say it’s nice that they wouldn’t wear it. It’s a bit more out there. But the truth is is that I do have a big personality and I am spunky.
For some reason, I woke up today (3 days after purchase) thinking about the straight neck line dress, worrying that I made the wrong decision. It is so beautiful and girly. Has anyone experienced this? Is normal? Is this because I’m used to second guessing my decisions in every aspect of life or is the straight neck dress truly that much better? Not sure if I can even exchange them out. I’m just feeling down and unsure and confused.
Ps. The cups are huge on the dress I purchased, so that’s why they look a little funky in the pic. The cup would look better when the dress is altered and in my size.
