dress dilemmas

I settled - then 3 months before the wedding i realised i really wasnt that happy and went out and spent ALOT of money on another one!!

keep looking hun - when you find one that you never want to take off then buy it!!

My advice would be to go into a bridal shop and try on the dresses you dont like the look of. seriously!

I had two trips with my BMs, tried on about 6 dresses each time. The second time we went, the dresses I picked out were pretty much the same as the ones I had picked out the first time... which my cousin, having worked for a wedding mag, noticed. so after I tried on the final dress and still was not happy, she picked one out for me... when I saw it I thought omg you must be kidding! but she said it will do no harm to just try it on. I bought it there & then.

Did you 'settle' for your H2B or is he 'The One"? That should tell you all you need to know x

My advice is keep looking because the look on a brides face and her body language when she puts on the dress of her dreams says it all. If you havent had that experience and dont feel the need to "swish" in it then it isnt the dress for you. You will find it, it may just take some looking but dont settle for 2nd best and as xlovebirdsx said, do try things out of your comfort zone because you may be ruling out a dress that has your name written all over it!

I have to agree with you about all wedding dresses being beautiful though, thats why I now have 72!

Definitely try on dresses you perhaps don't like the look of. Most bridal shop people are very good at recommending dresses after hearing feedback from you on what you like and don't like. There was a good thing I saw on TV that said to help you find "the one", you find the one you like best and then compare everything to it. If one is better then it becomes the favourite and you then compare everything to that. If nothing is knocking it off the pedestal then you have found 'the one'!!

Keep trying dresses on and as everyone says out of your comfort zone. I was trying all strapless dresses on and it didn't work. The shop took one of the rails with thick straps, I fell in love with the dress but still not the straps so they have adjusted the dress and removed the straps for me. I got the dress and the strapless part that I have always wanted. The 'One' will be out there and you will know cos you never want to take it off, dream about it and certainly can't wait til my 'Big' day
