I said YESSSSS to Derrick Royale in Champagne with a plunge!

I had my appointment at Bombshell Bridal Boutique in Detroit metropolitan area and it was such an amazing experience.
But hear me out guys. She is not JUST my dream dress.

This sounds absolutely insane, but this dress is like my dress soulmate. It’s like it was MADE for me. Like the designer met me and said “let me make this girl’s personality as a dress”.

I did add the plunge because I want my girls to shine at least a little bit. I don’t have em for no reason 🤪

I cannot wait for when my dress comes in. It’s going to be a show stopper.

If you ask in the comments, I can tell you what my theme is. The wedding is in December of next year. 🥰

PICTURES DO NOT DO HER SPARKLE JUSTICE. the closest is those mirror photos.

top 3 choices, help me pick one!!

Venue is romantic garden party vibes

Dress #1 pics 1-4 ! Love the straps and delicate lace

Dress #2 pics 5-8 Love the slight sparkle and beading details for the top

I said yes to the first dress yesterday! The only problem is I keep wondering if I made the right choice. My vision is to feel like a woodland fairy princess on my wedding day. Ethereal, whimsical, and feminine. Both of these dresses made me feel this way and this was a hard choice… the reason why I said no to the second one was although I loved the flowers, I don’t plan on having these colors in my wedding. But it is such a beautiful dress and I’m wondering if I messed up 😕… I am planning on getting balloon sleeves (like picture #4) to wear during the ceremony and then cap sleeves (pics 1,2, and 3) for the reception. I’m also planning on adding a glitter layer, which is something I also loved about the colored dress. So my dress won’t look exactly like these pics when all is done, but it’s a close idea. I don’t want to look like every other bride, which I’m afraid I will in the first dress. Did I choose the right one?

Need help choosing the one!!!

I said yes to the dress ! i’m so excited, I haven’t told my family yet, but my dress was experiencing a price increase so i went ahead and bought it before they upped it and i couldn’t be happier it’s perfect

I don’t know if I am over thinking everything. But I bought my wedding dress yesterday at the first boutique I went to. I had another dress in mind that I fell in love with online but I would have to order it in since it’s not in stock anywhere and it’s a huge risk ordering a dress I have never tried on before. There is a dress I tried on at the boutique that I think is very beautiful but since I bought it, I have felt sick to my stomach and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the other dress. The other dress just has a more unique factor. I don’t know why I rushed this purchase. I wasn’t pressured to buy but I don’t bite the bullet. Am I overthinking this?

Thanks everyone for picking out dress 2 yesterday here: https://www.reddit.com/r/weddingdress/s/SqBJ3PcwNc

Today I came across another super cute dress and can’t decide 😭 it will be an outdoor ceremony with <15 guests. Dress 1 feels more elegant, 2 is more dreamy, and I love both!!

I am torn between two very different dresses . Would love some input, or even if I should keep looking.

EDIT: thanks so much for all the feedback! Always helpful hearing from strangers

I am IN LOVE with my dress!!! I’m am pretty set on a Juliet veil to make the look more vintage. I also need help on deciding the sleeves! Please help me decide what number sleeves look best and what number veil looks best to help my vision and compliment the dress. I have long curly brown hair that I will have in either an vintage-esque braid or half up half down style.

Help me pick! Should I get this dress lined or unlined? The back and sides are cutout lace as well, but considering lining the front

ETA: it’s a black tie wedding at an estate

I think I lost weight since the dress fitting, because now my dress slides down when walking and my bust is loose. I have sticky bras in for these photos that i intended to wear day of but there is still much space and the edge of the inside now shows, as well as constant pulling up of the dress even though the belly feels snug. My wedding is in two weeks and I am freaking out. Last photo for initial comparison.

I just said yes to this dress! Looking for some love or recommendations for accessories or shoes!

Budget less than retail

<$1995

US Date: December '27

The sticker price of 3 of the DB dresses I’ve had my eye on just went up over $1000 overnight😭. Most of them were in the $2500-3000 range and now when I check the exact same dresses they are over $4000. Could this be price gouging leading up to Black Friday deals or are things really that much more expensive suddenly? This is just 1 example I was able to find on their website. I know the sale price on the cheaper one is due to the dress being sold As-is but it’s the original price I am comparing

Fell in love with the Milla Nova Adeline gown from their Sounds of Couture collection, but I cannot find a sample anywhere near me to try on (based in Los Angeles). Also learned they’ll be discontinuing this dress at the end of the year.

I’ve scoured the internet for a dress like it but have yet to come across anything. Love the boned corset, organza layers in the form of waves, and the off-the-shoulder detail. I want my dress’s architecture to be the drama💗

I’m continuing to call different bridal shops in LA to inquire, but would appreciate any thoughts / suggestions for other designers that create similarly structured gowns. Current budget is at around $5K but keeping an open mind, absolute max would be about $7K.

Based in US and wedding is September 2027
