How do you...

... keep from having instate dress regret when a new line comes out each season? I keep telling myself I won't look at more dresses (I've already bought one, returned it and got another), but then when a season's new dresses come out I look and think "Ooh, pretty" and I start second-guessing myself. 

How do I avoid this?

Stop looking!

Yup, stop looking. I know it can be hard to avoid, but put down the wedding magazines (Who needs em? You can get all the same info here!) , avoid the dress section of the knot, and all that.

Did you already purchase your dress?  You have a year before your wedding.  Most people avoid this issue by starting to shop at the year mark.

I was originally supposed to get married in May of this year, but financial issues got in the way so we put off the wedding so we could save a lot of money to have a good safety net for after the marriage begins. So that's why I've already got a dress.

I see.  Well then take the other ladies advice and stop looking.  That's the only way you won't be tempted to be a 2 dress bride.

Move on to the next item in the checklist.  Make peace with the choice you made. And with the rest of the posters "Stop Looking!"

You could stop looking or you could get two dresses? One for the ceremony and then one for the reception its really up to you but if not then I guess you should stop looking. Although if I was still looking Id wonder if the dress that I bought was the one that I was in love with. Usually if you LOVE your dress then you wouldnt want any other one.

Yep. Just like men - once you've found the one you want and the relationship is good and fulfilling, you stop looking around for a new one.

Abstinence from all bridal magazines and wedding websites is highly recommended!
