    Stay Sane!!! That dress is beautiful and if you loved it you knew it to buy it! Thank of all the other things you can do for drama like the make up and the flowers. Don't think so much about it.

    You look great.  I think you have to envision yourself in the whole package...veil, jewelry, hair, makeup, etc. and know that your accessories will add the drama that you're looking for.  You fell in love with the dress for a reason so just take a deep breath!  You'll be fine.

    Your dress is beautiful.  I felt the same way the first time I tried my dress but I was the idiot looking at the bridal books at the Sprin 2011 gowns.  Not a good idea and the worker at the bridal stor quickly pulled the books away.  Im less than 4 months away.

    Just keep looking at your dress and like JKeyes said you do have the option of embellishing in other areas.

    Thanks Ladies,

    my mom is buying my jewelery but i need a veil. I don't want to spend money adding embeslliments to the dress. Here are my shoes though. Hope the look is complete:

    Are you going for a cathedral veil?  You can definitely find cheaper ones online.  Veils are grossly overpriced.

    I think you look GREAT in that dress! Maybe if you are looking for a dramatic look, you can get that with a bold piece of jewelry. And once you try on your dress with all the different elements, Itll come together better.

    Love the dress and it looks great on you. Dont stress over the dress there is plenty to stress about besides that. Then when you pair the dress with those shoes FIYAH. I will give you something to worry about and it certainly is not that beautiful dress!

    That dress looks awesome on you!  There is a lot of "wow" factor in that dress as is.  Add your accessories and your wedding day glam and you are all set.  :)

    It can make you weak and strong simultaneously.

    Speaking from experience ( ive traded my dress in before for a different one), i think that if you need to make sure, then do it. but you look amazing in that dress. but sometimes you have to make sure.
    4 months to go is cutting it close though. you look good girl, but its about how YOU feel. hth

    I'm going to play devil's advocate just cause I'm thinking of adding some embelishments to my dress. I was thinking of buying a swarovski cyrstal encrusted/applique belt to either wear or have it sewn on to my dress if possible. Maybe you can do the same??? Either way, the dress is gorgeous and you will be a pretty bride. This store in NYC has some gorgoeus ones, here is their website:
