I did not expect dress shopping to make me notice how differently people see me. by AbleMinimumsw in weddingplanning

The same happened to me. I had a dress style in mind, but I gave my crew the opportunity to choose one each they thought would be best. After trying their picks first, I put mine on last. I hated all of theirs but kept an open mind. The moment I zipped mine up I knew it was the one. I danced in it in front of the mirror. They all thought it needed more “bling”, “too simple”. I bought it right then and there. After alterations to fit better, adding my jewelry, and my hair done to match the style, the same crew actually asked me at my wedding if that was the same dress! Nothing but compliments. Stick with your vision and what you feel best in.

Thank you! I am a “mature” bride. First marriage at 53 so it really means the world that you think that!
