Re: Do you regret your wedding dress choice? (POLL)
I did (do) love my dress but I regretted not going with my first choice, the dress I lusted after for months. Some "people" talked me out of it, saying it was too pink, non-traditional, blah, blah, blah. Plus I was being pressured to buy from my friend's family's bridal boutique - they did give me a fantastic deal on all my bridal wear though.
If I could do it all over again (got married over 5 yrs ago), I would pick a totally different dress.
I was so stuck on a fitted lace dress at the time and I looked better in A Line. I have a 2nd time to get it right and try again
I won't spend as much either having been married now and knowing how quick the day really goes.
But I tell my SO that we can have a small, maybe destination wedding...but I get a fab dress re do and awesome photos
I absolutely loved and still love my dress! It was an A-Line that had everything that I wanted, except the fact that it was an A-Line. I had it altered into a mermaid, and it came out beautifully.

I still think it's heaven. It's Melissa Sweet's Fern, and I had the dress customized (cap sleeves) and the veil lengthened. Like a PP, I picked up my dress 2 weeks before, was superstressed, and lost a bunch of weight, so my dress was rather loose the day of.
We did formal portraits 3 months later, when I had filled out a bit more, and it fit much better then!

I was the absolute QUEEN of dress indecision and second-guessing. I had been engaged once before and went apeshit on wedding dresses that time, wanting to wear a second dress for the reception and buying a selling several (inexpensive) gowns. When I got engaged to my husband, I wanted a mermaid or fit-and-flare to show off my curvy figure, but wound up buying a ballgown with an extreme dropped waist. It was unique, more flattering than the more fitted shapes, and made me feel like Grace Kelly. My only regret is that I didn't even consider a second dress for the reception this time around, and when I was dancing up a storm, it would have been nice to have something a little smaller and lighter to slip into. I was so hot!

Got married 6.5 years ago and I'm still in love with my dress. It was on sale, I have no idea who the designer was, and I've never seen a picture of it anywhere else.
The consultant picked it as almost an afterthought, because it was on sale. He took it off the rack and I knew it was the one. Sounds SO cheesy and I've never thought that before or since about *anything* , but that's the truth
It was the third dress I tried on. My only regret is not trying on more dresses for fun, but I'm sure I'd have still made the same choice.
