Experienced DW Brides did you regret the Big Dress ?

I Agree with Yari..get the Dress you want who gives a crap if its beachy or not!

You pointed out something that I felt when trying on the destination wedding dresses. I didn't feel like a bride as much compared to the more elaborate dresses.

Go for the dress you love!

 

If big and poufy is what you're leaning towards, then you could always wear a hoop crinoline to get some air circulation. Besides, you gotta love the contrast of the casual beach mixed in with such a formal dress.

 

On the other side of the mix, brides who pick soft and flowy gowns worry about the wind constantly billowing their skirt around.

ladies.... You all rock

All of your comments are Greatly Appreciated!

My dress wasn't exactly big & poofy but it wasn't really a dress fit for the beach either.

I agree with everyone else, go for what you love, no matter whether its big & poofy or not.

You can always wear that dress for the ceremony & change into something lighter or more airy for your reception, which is what I did!

This is a great topic! Like others have said I guess you'll know when you try it on and you know it's "the one".......

 

I myself know I can't have a whole lot of fabric, since I'm petite, and I've come across quite a few dresses I like online, but the verdict will be easier once I start trying some on.

I know a veil will make me feel like a bride, but I just am torn on the type of dress I really want! Im too indecisive! LOL

LOL- i was the same as you- i hate decisions ans once i started looking into it there were just too many to choose from! I opted for the non poofy dress- i tried on some of the more formal gowns in the store and started sweating my ass off! no way! LOL

Get the dress you fall in love with- dont' worry it's out there!

I haven't yet had my DW yet, but I did buy my dress. I didn't think I was the big princess dress type of person, and I know that if I wore a big dress and was hot, I would be irritated and not have a great day. So my personal choice was a compromise and I got a wedding dress that was short! But it is still very much a wedding dress. I know I will just be more comfortable. And after spending that much I want to wear it the whole night, not change after the 15 minute ceremony or whatever.

 

I think it's a matter of what makes you feel comfortable!

That was my wedding dress too and I loved it!!! Good choice
