Bought my wedding dress this weekend :)

Hey ladies!! I purchased my wedding dress and veil this weekend! Everything went great and everything was well under my budget. I have a slight concern and I don't know if anyone else felt like this...

First of all, let me say that I am TERRIBLE at making decisions. I can't even decide what I want for dinner half of the time. I did not expect to decide on a dress on Saturday.

So I bought the dress. Now I cannot stop thinking about it and whether or not I made the right decision. I did not cry when I put the dress on (I don't think I'm that type...), but I could not stop smiling  Now I'm starting to think that maybe I'm not regretting the purchase, maybe I'm just upset that the experience is over already! Did anyone else feel this way?! I feel like I have no one to talk about this with. I don't want people to think that I'm regretting buying that dress already.

I bought my dress at a sample sale and literally the moment I set foot outside the door my first thought was "OMG, what did I just do?" But then I got home and looked at pictures of myself and remembered how I felt in the dress and how I looked and fell in love with it all over again.

Not everyone has a hysterical, crying "OMG this is the dress" moment. I didn't. When I stepped out of the dressing room I teared up a little bit b/c my first thought was "I wish my mom was here" (she passed away when I was 14) and then I too couldn't stop smiling and looking at myself in the mirrior. I didn't want to take it off and could picture myself walking down the aisle. That's how I knew it was the one. When I tried on the other dresses my reaction was usually "nice dress, not for me."

yes yes yes x1,000 I felt this way!!

I bought my dress on Friday afternoon and absolutely loved it. Friday evening I looked through the pictures of me in the dress that my mom took and started to worry that I didn't make the right choice (I also am terrible at decision making). I hardly slept Friday night worrying about the dress. On Saturday I woke up, looked at the pictures and remembered how sure I felt at the time when I was wearing it, and felt so much better. Now I feel confident again. That's not to say I won't have any more freak-out moments about it between now and the wedding, but I wil try to remind myself of how sure I was while I was wearing the dress.

Just think about how much you were smiling when you were wearing the dress. Did it feel like the right one when you had it on? Was there anything about it you didn't like? I think it's probably normal to second guess after the fact because it's such a big decision. You must have picked that dress for a reason, right? As long as you don't feel like you were pressured into it, I would say you definitely made the right choice! Do you have any pictures?

Yeah I didn't cry or get hysterical or have some overwhelming feeling of knowing it was the one. I really liked my dress and nothing else I tried on could compare for me. I don't think everyone has that moment and I think TV has hyped that up for us.

Thank goodness!!! I'm glad the way I felt was normal! It just seemed like such a huge life decision!! I also think I'm still in shock because the dress is a different style than what I thought I would buy. I'm 5'10" so I thought for sure I'd be getting a fit n flare or mermaid style. I ended up going with an a-line empire waist dress. So I was definitely in shock that I liked it so much!

The dress looks beautiful! I am also terrible at making decisions and have second guessed myself on just about everything so not to worry, its normal!
