Ask a Question
Summerbride2010 has officially lost it???

Ok my lovely ladies!! I have officially flew the coupe!

Over the past months I've read SOOO many blogs about brides "cheating" on their dress, buying a 2nd wedding gown, or the dress that they have is not THE ONE!

Well....I think I've just reached that point. While out shopping for something to where for my bridal shower, I "stumbled" across another dress that I loved (ughh), it's simple but sooo elegant. When I put it on I was like....awwww...I love it...it's so elegant. I think the picture does it no justice.

So, with that being said....I NEED YOUR HELP Ladies!!

Am I crazy to buy another dress???

Which dress do you like best???

Share your thoughts on how I look in either dress...be honest with me ladies...I can take it (I promise).

I honestly can say that your wedding dress made me want to wear a wedding dress, if that makes sense! HA! To forego the Indian outfit I mean in favour of a gown.. I think it is sooo dramatic and gorgeous. I see what you mean about the simple elegance of the 2nd one, but I really love your first one, and I think it fits your holistic vision a bit more too.

I love the first one the most.  They are both beautiful though.  Go with what your heart is telling you though.  Only you can make that decision.  Good luck. =)

Thanks Camyam73!

Thanks Tasha!..You're right. The bottom does have the drama that I was initially going for.  I don't even know what made me try on the simple dress. And the crazy thing is...when I first started searching for dresses...I wanted ANYTHING but simple..Now I'm in love with a simple dress!...LOL how silly is that!

I think the time is getting closer, and I"m just second guessing everything.

I love the ruffled one you already have.  Don't think about changing it for a second.  The other one isn't nearly as nice.

Misspriss!! You said it PERFECT!! "the 2nd one to me has been done 100 times over"

#2 is elegant, but #1 is soooo perfect for you. Stick with whichever makes you feel prettiest, but I vote that you keep your original dress :)

Thanks iluvbooze ...I almost bought that dress while I was at the store (because I'm a spontaneous buyer and then have regrets when I get home...lOL). But I stepped away fromthe dress and was like...let me think about this before I spend money that I can't get back!

I say keep the 1st one...this new one does nothing for you, yes it elegant, and cute...but I just thinks the 1st one says oh so sexy, and has it's own different style...please keep the 1st choice!

The one on the right is gorgeous on you and I love it but it does look like so many dresses out there...the one on the left is more sexy, fun romantic. So it really depends what mood you're going for ...I love both.

I don't know what gown is your original one and what one is your cheater, lol...but I LOVE the one on the left, with the ruffly, flowing bottom, it is gorgeous on your body and has personality, that I think the other satin gown lacks.

I vote ruffles!! I love the drama it adds to the dress.  But at the end of the day, whatever you feel most like a princess is the one for you!

I had the same dilemna I bought a dress and they offered me 40% off so I decided to go with the cheaper dress than the other because it was 700 more! but then I wasnt happy with it and took it to about 4 places to get it altered but thankfully the last lady did a great job so I was very satisfied! I know that is the most important part of the wedding everyone wants to feel beautiful!

So True bride2beaug2010!  Everyone wants to be beautiful, and you know everybody will be looking at your dress, and you just want to be so breathtaking and stunning, that you wind up second guessing your dress.  I think almost every bride goes through this moment!! they need to make a name for it...call it "Pre dress disorder"...LOL

I like the first dress. That dress has so much personality it's nameworthy and I feel like it celebrates your fabulous womanly bod! The second dress is very elegant but it doesn't grab my eye. If I were at your wedding as a guest, your dress wouldn't stand out to me. I wouldn't even remember what it looked like later. I'd probably remember the cake or a centerpiece, but that first dress, I'd remember what you wore when people asked me about the wedding I went to, I would be describing the bride.

You`re not crazy for getting another dress!!!!!!!!!! NOT AT ALL!!!!
This is your ones in a lifetime day!!!!!!!!!! I went to my bride dress store and fell in love with a dress.....when I saw the price I changed my mind.....it just seem irational to spend that much on a dress in that moment....I picked out a very nice dress for less money instead. It was beautiful....just not THE dress....that is what I told everyone I showed a picture of it too....that it`s my 2.nd choice dress....weeks and months passed and I started getting bad dreams and sleepless nights about maybe doing the wrong thing with getting the 2nd choice dress..........I felt like I was going a lil crazy....and I felt so stupid because the dress I had actually was beautiful. But it wasn`t MY dress....so I called the store and told the lady about it....she laughed and insured me it was a common scene with brides....when I told her that I don`t even remember which one MY dress was between all the ones I tried on....she knew right away!!! That was a sign...how did she remember after 2 months, that really must have been MY dress!!! I went back tried both on again and came to find out that MY dress was 400EUROS cheaper than when I first saw it.......still more than the dress that I had but cheaper than before........I took it as a sign ;) and ever since then I can sleep again...at least dress wise.....lol

Thanks mrsward!  What you just said, is what I needed to hear, and that's the reaction that I want from the guest.  Cause I've been to plenty of weddings were I remembered NOTHING about the brides dress, and that's suppose to be the most important part. You made a great point.  Awsome feedback!

Great info to know tamtam!  The ladies at the store was telling me how common it is for a bride to purchase two dresses also.  I thought I was going a little crazy too!..LOL  But you guys have really reasured me that I made the right choice the 1st time.  And that if I do want to buy another dress it's OK!  Thanks for your feedback hun, and I'm glad you found THE dress for you too :-)
