Buying dress 2 years before the big dsy

Sarah, 6 August, 2021 at 14:00 Posted on Planning 0 19
I need help!


I dropped into Wed2b shop today as wanted a swatch for the bridesmaid dresses. I had already spotted 4 dresses online i liked the look of and decided to try them on (well why not)
I have absolutely fallen in love and honestly think i have found THE dress! I could have cried. The thing with Wed2b is you buy off the peg and when all dresses of that design are gone they are gone & won't be made again.
I understand the risk of 'what if i change my mind' but if i go down the usual route of going to a boutique a year before...well it's still a year for me to change my mind 🤷🏻‍♀️
I worry if i walk away & don't buy (it definitely won't be there next year) and what if i never find another dress that comes close to how i felt today? Is it mad to buy 2 years ahead?

    Could you buy it and if you change your mind sell it on?

    I’d buy it and then I’d you do change your mind then you can always sell it.
    If you felt like that today, like it’s the one then potentially you won’t get those feelings again. ❤️❤️

    Hi Sarah,

    I would say to buy it. Its better to 'potentially' regret buying it with the option to sell it on than to never find one that comes close and regret not buying it.

    I am feeling exactly the same! I am going to Wed2be tomorrow to try on but there are still 2 yrs to go for me too! Mum keeps saying 'You better not find the one first time', even my sister said she is worried I will then I will change my mind. I am going to go with the flow and see what happens and like the other posters above have said it can always be sold on!

    So exciting for you! x

    I would buy it, if you change your mind you could always sell it on. I'd rather buy the dress than regret it incase you dont have the same feeling again.

    I definitely think you made the right choice! Better to buy it now and if you have doubts you can always sell it. Otherwise if you'd been trying on other dresses say a year down the line you might not have been able to get this dress out your head

    Looking at the picture it's absolutely beautiful and suites you lovely! I definitely don't think you will be having doubts

    What was the experience like in the Wed2be shop? I have only been in one shop- David’s Bridal and you need to make an appointment which I have done for September. I didn’t realise I had a branch of Wed2be near me so thinking of popping in when sister and mum are here for the visit to David’s. I will have 10 months to go so still seems ages! Just wondering what the shop was like as I know it’s a different concept.
    Dress looks lovely by the way

    Thank you so so much for your detailed reply! I will defo consider this, I think I might just pop in there when my sister and mum are with me to go to the appointment we have booked elsewhere then at least we can compare. I am glad you had such a positive experience and your Brynn dress looks great! Thank you for taking the time to reply to me.

    I bought my dress from Wed2b and the sales girl was so lovely. They have a really extensive selection of dresses and they are well priced. I knew style dress I wanted and it was a third of the price to what I had seen else where.
