Do you regret your wedding dress choice? (POLL)
.[Poll]
Re: Do you regret your wedding dress choice? (POLL)
This is a dumb poll, I was just curious. When I ordered my dress I obviously thought it was perfect. But it never fit quite right and when I look at pictures I now realize that a different cut would have been much more becoming... I regret my choice to go with a trendy cut (mermaid) instead of traditional (dropped waist).
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
I agree, although 4 years and 30 for me. I loved my dress then and still love it now, but I'd have to try it on again and see if I'd love it if my wedding were today. It was a very slim silhouette and I'm not sure I'd love the tummy area anymore.
I voted yes I still love it. I just wish I had tried on more dresses- or that Say Yes to the Dress existed when I got married, haha.
I bought the 2nd dress I tried on but I also knew exactly what I wanted going in. I love watching Say Yes to the Dress and seeing all of these dresses that look fabulous on the ladies that I would have never considered.

I loved my dress, but I agree with the above. I think the silhouette worked for the formality of my wedding, but sometimes I wish I had gone with something a bit more unique. Honestly, the same goes for my wedding itself. I loved it- but there are so many different styles and ideas out there that I wish I could have like 10 different weddings, ha.
I still 100% love my dress but I have only been married for a little over 2 years. But my dress was not a "wedding dress", it was this...
This exactly.
My sister is getting married in October and she picked a modified slim a line lace dress, and I'm kind of jealous!
I can't say that I wouldn't have looked ridiculous in something like that, but I wish I had at least tried something like it on, so I wouldn't have these what ifs now.
Mine was ivory and I wish I would have bought the white one that I tried on right before mine. It was a better silohuette on me and I kick myself every time I see the picture of me in it (mom was camera happy).

I regret that I caved in to pressure and bought a dress AT ALL.
I ended up wearing a boring-ass white dress like every other bride. Which is SO not me.
I regret every single concession to tradition that I made.
I loved and still love my dress (I got married almost 6 years ago).
My only regret is that I wish I had it taken in at the waist more. I knew it was loose around the waist, but I wanted room to be able to chow down at my wedding since the food we picked was so delicious. However, I was so hopped up on adrenaline that day, I had no appetite and barely ate anything. So yeah I wish I had taken it in more, so that it would have given me more of a shape.
I actually just picked up my dress last night. While I love my dress, I wish now that I had waited to buy it and look around a little bit more. The day after I ordered it we decided to change our wedding from this September to next spring so we would have more time. I would not have ordered it when I did if I had known we were going to change the date. I have more time to lose weight now and kind of have to stop at a certain point or my dress won't be able to be altered. It fits perfectly right now and is a classic style and very flattering.
I hope that I don't look back and regret it. I've stopped looking at dresses because I don't want to find something that I like better.
I'm along these lines, I voted for it was fine.
I did/do love my dress but at the same time, I think if I'd looked more, I would have found something I loved just as much if not more. Plus my alteratinoist never got the bust altered like I'd hoped it'd fit

I loved my dress. But initially I had thought i would just get a nice designer dress and not a wedding dress per se. Then I got sucked into the whole "wedding" thing and ended up with an actual wedding dress. It was gorgeous and looked great on me. But I think I would go with a non wedding dress if I did it again.
Cause then I'd get to wear it again.

That is a fabulous dress! I am lusting after it. Did you design it?

I really liked my dress and think it was perfect for where we got married.
I got married in 2007, and it maybe looks a bit 2007 to me now, but that's okay. I think it is a very classic dress so I don't think I'll ever look back and cringe?
But since I got married, I have seen a few dresses that I would have LOVED to have.
This one, for example, makes me drool:
But on the other hand, it wouldn't have fit our venue, so it is okay that it didn't exist when I got married
I picked something simple (a-line, organza, totally plain on the front and layers of organza down the back, only a teensy bit of embellishment in beads along the edges of the layers). So, perfectly fine. Fine is how I always think of it.
I wanted something simple and not too trendy (recognizing that nothing is really truly timeless, but just not something super, noticeable trendy). So it fit the bill.
If I were doing it now? I'd get something dramatic. Not big and puffy dramatic, but, like, that dress we all passed over because it was stunning but too risky. Something unique (for real unique - not just with pick ups in a different place) and with memorable features. Not highly embellished but something that used fabric really creatively.
(But, I owned a bridal boutique so my opinion is probably a *tad* skewed watching brides choose the same dresses over and over!)
I got married almost 6 years ago and loved my dress and still do. However I wish DH would have expressed his opinion about not wanting me to sell the dress, I got the dress altered (hemmed) in a way that could be let out so I could sell it to someone taller and it added a little fullness to the skirt. After the wedding when I got the dress cleaned to sell, DH said he doesn't want me to sell the dress.

Ditto the bolded part. I made a lot of concessions to tradition because everyone thought my ideas were too out there and I have a lot of regrets about my wedding. It kind of tarnishes the day for me.
