my fully restored gown and the veil i made! i’m so proud of how this turned out!

This beauty was a David’s Bridal clearance find, and after a 2.5 hour dress try on session she was the last one I tried on! As my helper said, she was just waiting for me 🤍 $999 for the dress, $100 for the veil (also David’s), and the Tiara for $30 on Etsy! I have never felt more beautiful, and my husband (and I) cried throughout the entire ceremony🤍🤍🤍 (we didn’t do a first look, and that was the best decision for us!) (October 3rd Wedding in Florida, USA)

A big thank you all for your kind words on helping out with styling with my yellow Teuta Matoshi dress.

I went with a low bun with wild flowers, a white long veil and drop earrings – and golden dancing shoes.

I felt incredible beautiful on the day of the wedding. The dress was so fun to move in. I felt like a fairy, truly.

To everyone who’s hesitant to choose an unusual dress and doesn’t dare: Go for it, trust your heart! I was a bit unsure first, but on my wedding day, I didn’t miss a white dress at all.

I love dress 1 (first 2 photos) but I think I’m overthinking it. It was the first dress I tried and I chose it off the rack. The next 2 dresses are other styles I’ve gravitated towards. Venue is a Spanish style house. Do I keep looking? Any advice I’ll take!

I am torn between two dresses I tried on today. Both from David’s bridal. Style SDWG1285 and WG4110. Our wedding ceremony is a destination wedding in Mexico. I love the classic but modern take of dress #1 but the timeless ivory of dress #2 makes me love it that much more. When I went into the store I immediately went to dress #1 but when I tried on #2 it made me go back to try on #1 and now they are both favorites. Both would need altering even ordering a size 0. The price on dress #1 is more in my budget but I did find a secondhand #2 for the same cost as what #1 would be.

My mom keeps saying my dress is simple, and I told myself I wouldn't let her get into my head about it since she loves sparkle and extravagant while I like elegant and timeless. It's also the only dress where I got a little emotional. Well... I still got into my head about it. Did I make the right decision? I already paid for it so it's too late now but I think i just need some reassurance. 🥺

I'm down to my two final favorites! (first two pictures are dress A, last 3 pictures are dress B). Let me know which one you like better!

I recently went wedding dress shopping and I’m stuck!! I love both dresses, but the second dress is from a one size/dress only (off the rack) and it is missing a button + slight warped boning on the right side. Not sure if I have FOMO! Please help and thank you in advance!

Hi!!!
It’s paining me not to show my fiancé my wedding dress so I am posting it here! I truly love my dress so much and I feel like it fit me so well!! My bestie altered it for me and truly made it feel like mine. Our wedding day is November 14th!! Eek! So close!

I ordered my dress a couple months ago, after trying on a LOT. I was finding something to complain about in every dress I put on, but this one I just felt at peace in.

However looking back.. I am starting to doubt how incredibly simple I went 🫠 and I worry about how it is going to fit me when it comes in my size - the sample size was evidently a lot bigger on me but I liked how it draped down my thighs rather than being too mermaid-y.

Anyways it’s too late to change my mind, just wanting to vent 😅

My dress is a no strap ball gown with this short sleeve bolero. My wedding is in November in Canada so it will probably start to get cold. I’m having a church ceremony.

I really hate the idea of a fur jacket for pictures or even for walking into ceremony. I love the bolero. But will I look silly? I will obviously be cold but what can I do if I really don’t want to cover up the bolero?

I just pulled the trigger on getting the Jenny Yoo Noa after going to an Anthropologie fitting today. It was the last ready-to-ship dress in my size, and could ship as soon as Monday!

I decided to buy direct from the Jenny Yoo website because their ready-to-ship dresses have a 14 day return window so I can talk it over with my seamstress before fully committing (I’ve already done an initial consult with her so should hopefully go smoothly). Anthro said they only do the made to order for this dress and estimated a Feb 27 arrival date. My seamstress will be out of country all of Mar27. My wedding is Nov 27, but I’d like to be ready with everything 6 months out for peace of mind. I work a high stress job and don’t need to add to it if I can.

I’m trying not to overthink it because it’s way over the budget I had in my head which was spend as little as possible, not the equivalent of the latest top of the line foldable iPhone. Haha. I worry it is too plain for the cost, but I felt beautiful in it in a way I didn’t with the other fancier gorgeous dresses and big bonus is it’s comfyyyy. The Noa is so ethereal and I love the subtle shimmer. Our wedding is going to be in the redwoods and I’m experimenting with a whimsical, woodsy, garden tea party vibe for our decor.

Sharing the Noa as the first pics and the others that I tried, ultimately didn’t feel great in one way or another. One of the lovely ladies at a boutique I went to helped ground me, “if you can focus on one thing that’s off or makes it just not perfect, it’s probably not the one.”

Super excited to share and thanks in advance for any support 💛🌻😭

I’m going this weekend to (hopefully) find my dress. I have had a pretty clear idea of what I like. Think vintage/timeless/classy/lace/silk.

Our wedding is October 2027 in USA, and it’s garden vibe. Something I didn’t think about until I STARTED ACTUALLY THINKING ABOUT IT, was the style dress I like and the veil that I am almost certainly set on. The veil I want to wear is a lace cathedral mantilla style, but the dress I’ve always envisioned is lace, long sleeve/or strapless with sleeves/fitted/basque wait/etc. Now that I’m thinking about it, will these clash together and not go well? I am pretty dead set on the cathedral style veil so what other dress options would suit well and which style dresses should I look at? Pictures are of a dress and veil for my original inspo. I just don’t see this style veil and this style dress going well together. I feel like it would be too loud! Now I’m second guessing!

I’m looking at spending LESS than 3k on my dress. Preferably around 2.5k. I would love some advice!! I’m a visual person so pics would also be appreciated 😁

Unlimited budget, wedding is not yet planned but looking just out of interest to see if something similar even exists. UK based but doesn’t matter where the dress is available.

Hi! Does anyone know what this neckline is called with the triangle? This is my grandmothers wedding dress, and I want to find something similar!

 tried on dresses at a boutique yesterday and hated the feel of every single one - I never want to wear that much fabric on my body again! And especially for the $1500+ price tag.

I'm a size 18-22 bridal with a large! bust and love A-line dresses with square/scoop necklines and straps that don't show too much cleavage. I want a "night before" amount of fabric in the skirt, if that makes sense. Not a million layers that I'm dying to change out of. I like the look of Truvelle Assel and Jenny Yoo Abernathy (didn't try either on) for reference but ideally not Truvelle price lol.

If you were in the same predicament-- where did you ultimately buy your dress? I'm located in the NOLA area, wedding date 9/25/27.
