So, for background, I went through 3 dresses...long story...my step mother was present when I picked up my first gown. It was one of those "oh you are so pretty, blah blah blah" situations and I was feeling all bridal and tried on a few veils. She decided to purchase one of them (for $300) to go with the first gown for me as a gift. Since then, I have decided that the first gown is not what I want to wear.
I tried on the veil with the new gown and it looks bad! Like it doesnt go AT ALL. This dress has no train and is not traditional at all, but the veil is cathedral length and very traditional...it just doesn't go whatsoever.
I feel bad about not wearing it though, esp considering how much she paid for it (I don't know about ya'll, but $300 for a veil is alot of money in my book) so I feel like I HAVE to wear it. But I REALLY want to wear a birdcage veil because I truly feel like that is what the gown calls for. I thought about wearing the veill she purchased for the ceremony only, but I can't get over how bad it looks together...and I just cannot see myself even wearing it for the ceremony
Should I just tell her about the new dress and let her tell me what she wants me to do about the veil? I plan to check and see if it can be exchaged, but I doubt it because we had it specifically cut to match the length of the first dress. I also thought about having my seamstress cut it, but I still think its not going to look right. I feel terrible, but I don't know what to do...UGH, HELP!
Expecting Two Little Knuckleheads in June!
