    I ordered my wedding dress a few months ago, and at first I was really in love with it! But as time goes by and I look at pictures of it again, I'm starting to really think that the dress isn't right for me!! I think the excitement of it all just made me jump into it without really looking around enough. Everyone that was with me was telling me how lovely it was, and maybe they just convinced me it was! And now I think about it myself, I'm not so sure! My parents are paying for it and they have paid the deposit. I don't know how to tell them that I think I've changed my mind because they will be so angry with me! When my sister was getting married she ended up with two dresses aswell, so it will just be a repeat of what happened at her wedding! I could just go along with it and wear the dress I've ordered, but for my special day that I only get to do once, I feel that I should just tell them.
    What does anyone think I should do??

    Help!!

    Can you go and try it on again. Dresses always look different on versus photographs. Maybe that will help you to fall in love with it again.

    Have you been back to see the dress? It might make you realise why you loved it so much xxx

    I agree with the others. Go back and see the dress. I was worried as ordered mine so far ahead, looked a photos and thought nah I still like it, and when it came I fell in love each time I saw it.

    I agree with the others too. I think you should try to see the dress again and try it on. My dress looks different on the model in pictures than it does on me. In fact, when I saw it in a picture I totally dismissed it but on it just looks divine xx

    Tbh I think a lot of us on here have felt the same. I ordered mine in the April and then I started having doubts. It took 6 months to arrive in the shop and I was convinced that I'd hate it once I tried it again. However, once it arrived and was the right size, I tried it and remembered just how good it was as soon as it was on, so don't worry, feeling like this is perfectly normal.

    how long do you have before the wedding ( cant nose as your profile is restricted ) ... stop looking at pictures .

    i had mine hanging in the house for a year and if i looked at it i felt like you .... however the day i decided to have a sneaky try on .. the OMG ITS BEAUTIFUL feeling came back

    Definitely go and try it on. Like the other ladies have said your feelings are completely normal and most brides seem to experience dress wobbles of one kind or another.I know i had terrible doubts on a couple of occasions and each time they were alleviated by going back and trying it on again .Hopefully thats all it is and when you go back you'll remember exactly why you chose it xxx

    I agree with the ladies above. Once you have it on again I'm sure the feeling you first had will come back x

    First and foremost, go back and try it on... you might find that as soon as your standing in it you find all the reasons you fell in love with it in the first place :)
    It is definitely normal to have these feelings, don't work yourself up, its a normal bridal wobble and go back and try it on and you'll see why you chose it! xx

    I had the same thing ... only when I went back to try it on it confirmed how I felt! But I couldn't change it as I'd paid for it and it was over budget :-(

    But then my actual dress came in and becuase it fitted me I fell in love all over again!
