Mom cried but I'm not sure it's the one.

Your face seems hesitant in this photo. What about the dress don't you like? That could help you identify why you didn't have 'the feeling'?

I knew I chose the one because it floated through my mind constantly. It was so unique and had the must have elements I really wanted. I didn't get to try on the one but two dresses helped me make the decision. One had the shape and silhouette, the other the tulle I wanted. If you're not sure, keep looking. Sometimes you will find that you are comparing everything to that one dress. I know I did.

I'm still having doubts about my dress that I bought a week and a half ago. I asked my dressing room attendant if it was the usual for girls to have that "THIS IS IT!" super dramatic moment. She told me it really depends on the person and that if you're not generally that type, it will probably just be more of a "hey this dress makes me feel beautiful" type thing. Still can't decide if that makes me feel better or worse

Focus on the elements you really want for a wedding dress, the things that make you feel wonderful.

I tried on a dress and teared up. No one else really liked it. I decided against it because what I really wanted was a full skirt and to feel more like a princess with flower embroidery (the other dress was more boho and fitted). I still love the other dress but am VERY happy with the one I ended up choosing. It's so dramatic and lovely. And no one but my mom was there when I chose that one. Get in touch with your feelings. Go with your gut or you'll regret it.

I cried in a dress that wasn’t the one and then didn’t cry when it WAS the one! Ya never know...

I had a moment. I didn't ugly cry, but I did cry a little. I knew it was the one because I felt SO beautiful in it. Even though it didn't fit. I was a little concerned that I made the wrong choice but when I went and picked it up two months ago and tried it on again I remembered just how amazing it looked and how amazing it made me feel. It's all in how you feel in the dress.

Your mom likely cried because it is her idea of what you should wear. Also if she saw it with the veil, that almost always brings tears because you look like a bride. If it isnt what you see yourself in walking down the aisle then its not the one. Your hesitation says it might not be. If you're questioning it, ask yourself why and go from there.

My mom cried with 1 dress but I bought another. She didn't cry (and neither did I) but I knew it was the dress when I put it on. I tried on 20 more that day but went back to that one!

I had an “it’s the one moment” and I still second (and third and fourth) guessed my choice. Try to figure out exactly what it is about the dress that you’re not sold on, see if there’s something you can do about it, or find another dress that’s close, but has changed to that/those section(s) that you’re not mad about.

Out of 3 appointments, i could have picked a dress. The only reason i didn't is because i showed pics to mom and sisters and they didn't agree on which dresses they liked so that discouraged me. I went to 3rd appointment by myself and the lady there had the best customer service. She helped me pick out of my top 2. She said i had that oh wow moment with the one i picked, but i didn't cry and scream for joy. Im more of a oh this is pretty type of person.
But even after i paid, i still asked her if she was sure i made the right choice. Ha!

I've been married 5 years and I still regret that I let my mom and gma talk me into a dress that I knew in my heart wasn't the one I really wanted. It was just exciting that everyone got so excited. I didn't have a crying, over the top reaction to any dress, but there was definitely one I was most excited about and I let myself get talked out of it. If you're not 100% sure, I would keep looking while you have time - you can always order that one if you haven't found anything you love more by your deadline.

It is gorgeous !!!

Don’t stress over the deadline though - you need to love it , feel confident and comfortable

View Quoted Comment Exactly !!!! You are the one wearing it so YOUR opinion matters most

View Quoted Comment Haha yup! I had a “I thinkkkk this is it.. and ended up loving it and had to buy it before I left the store”

My mom didn’t really tear up. I don’t know. It kinda happened sooo fast I wish I could’ve enjoyed it more and she would’ve cried but....

Son picked the dress out I ended up getting, mom and aunt were there to help.

Dress is pretty on you. Can you picture yourself on it or something else for THE Day?

There's just something you'll feel when you've found the one. Most of my family and friends liked this one dress and I liked another. It took me trying on both dresses with the veil and all and I instantly knew I liked the other dress.

I agree with PP. There is something about finding the one. I found the one and because the consultant bought one that was way over my budget, I had to say no. It was so sad. I was trying to stick to budget. I went to David's bridal and bought one there. But I never stopped thinking about the dress. I was not happy about the dress I bought. I ended up buying it and now I'm ready for my wedding lol. Didnt even think a dress could do all that. So dont make the same mistake I did okay.

I feel like you might be doubting it. If you said you loved it when it was on and more when it came in the perfect color you might be holding out to see it in white. I fell in love with my dress and never wanted to take it off that's the only key that I knew it was the perfect one. I've never dreamed of a wedding growing up until I got engaged and I've never had a dream dress
