Absolutely in love 🫶🏼

I’m feeling torn, but it’s because I had a wonderful experience trying on dresses and I’m so grateful to get to choose. My head is swimming a bit at the moment with lots of opinions and I’d love some third party perspective.

Dress 1: Dany Tabet, floral appliqués on dress and perfectly matching veil. The dress is strapless but we played around with adding sleeves (they would match and not be the ones pictured) the top would also be lined, I do not like a see through look on myself.

Dress 2: also Dany Tabet classic satin ballgown, lots of options for sleeves as well, the lace was a full dress overlay

Dress 3: Flora and Lane, white with flower embroidery appliqués and matching veil and lace bat wings. This dress I would have made with side panels to cover the see through bits, and I’d have the deep v taken up a bit.

Dress 4: Flora and Lane, Sage with matching veil and flower embroidery appliqués. I would add an extra petticoat under this dress to add just a bit more volume to the bottom which would be very easy to do.

I am interested to hear what strangers have to say, my head is swimming with family and friend opinions.

I put a deposit on this dress today, I want to make sure I’m 100% on something and this was the first store I’ve been too so I want to look around a bit more. I’m in love but want other opinions!!

I finally got a dress one month before my wedding, after never feeling like I found “the one”. This one finally felt like it, and then the doubts started creeping in a week later. It’s the dress I’m going to wear, and I mostly love it, but my goodness - this wedding dress journey was exhausting and revealed major insecurities over the 10 month search. I’m wishing dress shopping wasn’t so romanticized to set my bar so high to find the absolute perfect dress. Wishing better experiences for other brides, and hoping this dress feels like the absolute right choice after I get it back next week after chest and waist alterations.

Hype me up or tell me about your similar experience, please!

I found this dress on Vinted and immediately fell in love with it! The seller had used it as her own wedding dress in February 1982, and kept it in her closet ever since. 44 and half years later, I wore it at my wedding!

The dress is Finnish brand Lacella that does not exist anymore. I love how simple and casual it is, the lace detail in the neckline is so cute, and I'm sad I don't have a reason to wear it again :(

The lace veil is actually my Maid of honor's mother's lace curtain! The shoes were also bought used, and the necklace I got from my grandfather when I was a kid. I actually had trouble finding my "something new" because even my ring is antique :')

The seamstress fixed the zipper and did NOT do any other alterations until I came back to try it on. This dress fits me like a glove!

It is rather long so its being hemmed and adding a bustle. It took 2 Hours to pinned this baby! It had 28 bustle points!

I am so freaking happy though! This is my wedding dress! 🥰🥰🥰

I’ve been struggling to find a wedding dress that I like. I tried this dress on today, and it’s the first one that I could picture myself getting married in. However, I don’t know if it’s the one. What do we think? Keep looking? Say yes?
