I tried on 2 gowns that I liked....

But I LOVED the first one and my family LOVED the second one (they liked the first). I wound up picking the one I loved but now I am feeling really bad and may even regret it. I can't do anything now since I put the deposit down but please tell me.... is this normal? I feel like crying. Did I pick the wrong gown?

if you loved it thats all that matters.  If your family HATED the one you picked then it may be a different story.  Everyone has different tastes and you shouldnt stress about it.  Just go back and try on your dress again and remember why you loved it in the first place

I went through the same thing, but I picked the one my family loved more...and I had regrets, until the dress came in a few weeks ago (wasn't suppose to be in until Dec)...I was nervous going to pick it up, but I tried it on again, and I KNOW it is the one!

to the first reply.... thank you so much. you really made me feel a lot better. to the second reply..... when you said you tried the gown on again and knew it was the one, do you think if you would've tried both gowns on and not just the one you picked, that you would've still felt that was the one? Because I know that if I try only the second gown on, I would love it. It's a beautiful gown but, when I tried both on, I knew the first one was for me.

Nope.  It's normal to want to please your family, but ultimately they're not the ones wearing the dress.This is why I bought my dress alone--and I recommend it to anyone.  I didn't want pressure from anyone and I feel absolutely confident in my decision.

My mom didn't like my dress when I tried it on. It made it very hard because I just love it so much and knew in my heart it was the one. I bought it, and a few days later she told me that after thinking about it and looking at the pictures of me in it she loves it and it's a beautiful dress. My point is, pick the one YOU LOVE. Your family will think you are beautiful in it either way I'm sure.

I actually tried the gown I purchased on first and fell in love with it all over again. I then asked to try on the other, and I did (completely different styles), and to my surprise I purchased the right gown...now my anxiety is all gone. When are you expected to get your gown you ordered?

You're the one who needs to wear it, not them. So your duty is to please yourself. And your family and friends will think you're a lovely bride no matter what dress you're wearing.

I loved the dress that I bought but my top choice no one else did, I still look at pictures of it and think I should have bought it. So if you love it, don't regret your decision now because you will later.

I was in the exact same situation as you! I just went with how "I" felt in the different gowns and knew that the one I chose was the right one for me. Since my family liked it, I'm sure that they will LOVE it when I have my hair and makeup and everything else on my wedding day. No worries...you made the right decision for you!!!

I was in the same situation that my family loved the a dress better than the one I loved.  I picked the one I loved.  After I ordered my dress, I took my parents in to look at the dress again and they loved it on me.  I think even if they still preferred the other dress, I'd still have picked what I wanted.  I think I'd always think about it if I didn't, and I am psyched about my dress.  I think you made the right decision. YOU will be the one wearing the dress and it's about how the dress make you feel.   Don't 2nd guess yourself.
