When I bought my dress last week, I was encouraged to get the dress I wanted versus getting something "venue appropriate". I did just that and purchased a gown that was slightly more than what I had originally had in mind for our big day.
Now, i'm kind of second guessing this....here is my reasoning...this is not a first marriage for me or my guy but it is the first wedding ive ever had, it is a very small ceremony in a private wooded setting (log gazebo) , only about 10-12 in attendance at most, followed by a big reception a few weeks after where everyone else will come. I had originally pictured myself in a simple lace gown w little or no train, mermaid style....I had narrowed it down at the salon to one like this plus the one I bought which looked great on me but is dropped waist w lots of chiffon ruffles and a long train.
Should I consider looking for something else that is more approriate or just stick with my big beautiful gown I've already purchased even though its a big bigger than my venue lol, help!!
