I've bought the dress!! Hmmm now I'm scared i've picked the wrong one!

CHELSEA GIRL, 28 November, 2009 at 19:27 Posted on Planning 0 18

Oh god!

Hopefully this is just a normal wobble that many people have... or is it just me!

So I must be the most indecisive person ever! Every decision is taking us ages to make. But re the dress I got it down to two. I love them both, though they are different. So I wanted to make the decision today, its been going on too long and time is ticking away as the big day in May is getting closer.

I tried on first dress and yes I still loved it. Its Maggie Sottero Rhonda /maggie-sottero?style=J1273 Its classy, plain but elegant with some sparkly detail on side.

Then my second is a dress I've tried on quite a few times and again love. Its Alfred Angelo 1136. http://www.alfredangelo.co.uk/Collections/ProductPrintable.aspx?productID=7ec2404b-b333-400a-bbaa-c8777335718e&categoryID=0fb8d3ca-5030-43bb-9e1b-90ffb001ae14 I love that its got a bit of bling, its sparkly. Its more a line and fuller so feels more like a wedding dress.

So after standing in it for like an hour, i've gone for it, i made a decision and have gone for the alfred angelo. I'm having it in the light gold, champagne as i like to call it, as being a red head it suits me better. But now I've got home I'm stressing cos I've actually made a decision and worrying whether I've picked the right one!

The thing is I do love both dresses but i can only choose one and I think I've gone for the alfred mainly cos it does feel more like a wedding gown but now im thinking is it too much sparkly and should i have played it more safe going for the plainer one. Not saying at all that plain is boring or safe as it is so elegant and classy, maybe the more classic one. Its like a very lovely gown where i think the other one is more wedding gown like.

Oh now I'm rambing, maybe im just scared cos ive actually made a decision. But like every decision we have to make i think im just scared of making the wrong choices.

    I think the dress you have chosen is gorgeous. Out of the two its the one I prefer.

    Why don't you sleep on it and then arrange to go back and try it on again?

    I love the one you chose! It's beautiful and I really don't think its to blingy. If you love them both then even if you changed your mind would you be concerned you'd made the wrong decision again? (if that makes sense?!)

    Have confidence - I bet you look stunning!

    Definately the Alfred Angelo one!, you have made the right choice ?.

    God knows how many wobles I have had and my dress was hanging up in my mums house 6 months after I got engaged...tried it on again yesterday and I just know I have made the right choice so you will feel the same when it gets delivered ?

    Thank you lovely ladies, this is helping!!!

    It is true, I love both but blimey its such a big decision. Its the most expensive bloody dress I'm ever going to wear on whats billed to be the best day of my life - no pressure huh?!

    I've been looking for about 5 months and been to quite a few shops and feel I've seen a lot of dresses and have always come back to these two.

    Its just hard as I want to see the whole picture.... its crazy, if we were going out to a ball or something you'd try on your outfits and stand next to each other etc but noooo on the BIGGEST, most important, most expensive day of your life where ALL your friends and family are attending we can't!! Even though he says all the right things bless him like how he knows I will look beautiful but oh i don't know, i just want to look great and feel great and cos im so indecisive i worry...! Argh, i annoy myself, i really do!

    Wow you have really good taste, they're both really pretty! i think whichever you would have picked would be great, they're basically equally amazing. it's a lot about how it sits on your figure etc. the AA is a gorgeous dress - definitely more 'weddingy' than the Maggie, that could also maybe be a ball gown.

    also after making a big decision i always feel stressed that i've made a mistake! don't worry, trust yourself, you will look lovely!

    I know the Alfred Angelo one very well because it was in my shortlist. I think it is a beautiful dress, I love the detailing epsecially the crystals over the bust. You have definately made the right choice. x

    I love the AA one, its the first dress I found when looking on the internet when we first got engaged. Can I ask you how much it is as I can't find a price anywhere.

    Thanks x

    The AA one is gorgeous!! Im having an AA one too ?

    Its only natural to have wobbles - I had a few, but when I put it on they all went away again! Just remind yourself what it is about it that you fell in love with.

    .....oh and can a wedding dress be too sparkly???

    Hi LauraJaneRush

    The price was £799, actually they were both the same price, so even that didn't help with the decision!

    And I was lucky, I'm getting 10% off after a bit of haggling! Every little helps!
