Im getting married in 2020 and i have recently tried on a few wedding...

Im getting married in 2020 and i have recently tried on a few wedding dresses. I found a dress that i love but there is a dress i really want to try on. Its made by Alfred Angelo (the disney dresses) but the desingner has gone bust so its hard to get any of his dresses. I found it in a store but the problem is is that its a two hour drive away from me. I dont feel i can be 100% with my potential dress because i can't get that dress out of my mind ????. Plus surely its way to early to even think about dresses yet? Im totally stuck some advice will be lovely! Tia xx

Two hour drive is nothing to put your mind at rest one way or another xx

I would totally do the 2 hour drive to try it on. If its not right its not a wasted journey just settles your mind so you can focus on the others you try on :) xx

Go for it! I'm getting married in 2020 and I recently went a tried some dresses on. Fell in love with a dress so I put the deposit down. I didn't want to risk not loving a dress like that before the date. When you know you know 🙂 xx

If you think it's too early to find a dress why would you go dress shopping

If that's what your feeling do it ! There was a dress I wanted to try on and was told it wouldn't suit me it was the last dress I tried on and it was the one ! Always trust your instincts !

Go and try it! Just DON'T go losing any weight if you get it because my original dress cannot be altered to fit my new size and the style no longer suits my new shape. It's an Alfred Angelo 1516

I'm having the exact same issue! I fell in love with the photos of the belle inspired dress and now other dresses are not living up to what's in my head!

Go try the "Dream Dress" on. Nothing will ever feel right and you'll be constantly comparing everything else you try to something in your head. I found my perfect Dress on Pinterest and as it was on American Ebay I couldn't get it. The damn thing haunted me for months. I couldn't find any other Dress as good and eventually found it on English Amazon. I had to buy it and try it. Even if it had been a disappointment in reality I had to know. It turned out to be even better than I expected and I love it. xXx

Its very early to go dress shopping but if you love it then it is worth the drive so that you know either way.

For that special dress, I'd YOU really want it - go for it. What's two hours out of the rest of your life?! I didn't get my dress until two months but buy everyone is different and when you find the right one, you'll know x

I really love the Disney dresses but would have had to travel hours away to try them on so chose a different style from a local store and have never looked back in fact I am relieved as I would never have gotten my dress with them going bust!

2 hours is nothing. Get yourself in that car, my friend! :-)
