You’ve popped the champagne. You’ve FaceTimed all your friends. You’ve put down the deposit. You’ve said yes to the dress! But what happens when the appointment ends and doubt creeps in? Is there something better out there? Can finding your wedding dress really be that easy? 

Finding your wedding dress is a big decision, and it’s perfectly normal to have second thoughts. Don’t panic! Here are some helpful tips to make sure your dream dress doesn’t turn into a nightmare.

Revisit the Moment

The moment you said yes is memorable, and a little overwhelming. If you’re worried your emotions colored your decision, reach out to your consultant and make an appointment to try your dress on again. Phone photos never do the gown justice and seeing it in person with fresh eyes can re-affirm what made you fall in love with it in the first place. 

Change What You Can

Okay, so you’ve put the dress back on, and you do love it, but there’s something not quite right. What if you added a belt, or swapped out the fabric strap for a beaded one? Would stitching additional appliques to the plunging neckline make you feel less “exposed?” Accessories can enhance any bridal look, and several customizations can be done in-house to tweak your gown until it’s exactly what you want. 

When In Doubt Swap It Out

The worst case scenario: You’ve tried it on again, you’ve explored all your accessory and customization options, and it’s not enough. This isn’t your dress. That’s okay! Set up an appointment with your consultant to start fresh. Perhaps you’ll wind up with something completely different from your original, or perhaps you’ll go with something similar but better. No matter your choice, we’re here to ensure you feel like your most beautiful self on your wedding day.
