My mom and maid of honour don’t think my dress is the right one for me

My mom and maid of honour don’t think my dress is the right one for me 2

So I saw this one on the stores website and I googled YouTube and I just knew right away after seeing it that this was MY dress! The day after I went and I tried it on I hoped SO much it would look good on me as good as it looked on the model!! The sample size was 2 sizes too small and it’s too much cleavage but when I saw myself in the mirror I started crying!! I felt so beautiful and I stll knew this was my dream wedding dress! I wanted something special I thought I wanted something bridal traditional but this was so unique to me!! I showed this to my MOH my best friend of 20 years!! She knows I LOVE sparkles but she didn’t like the sleeves on me?! She said she liked something better with lace on me.. then I showed it to my mom ( she is the one who is buying it) she also thought it was too much cleavage but I told her they would cover that up! But she didn’t like the flower thing that’s sticking up on the neckline.. and that is actually what I love with the illusion of that!! She said she had to see it on me before she could say if it was the right one for me.. I feel so disappointed that none of them think It’s the right dress!! I tried on different ones without sleeves and sleeve with more traditional lace but this one is really the one I love.. so I don’t know what to do that they both don’t really see it as my dress 😭😭My mom and maid of honour don’t think my dress is the right one for me 3

    Try adding a chunky necklace, a belt, and a tiara in a leafy design that matches the lace, and it will transform the look. Check Etsy. Maybe a double layer veil that comes down to the shoulders and fingertips. I wore a cathedral and it barely showed in some photos. I'd wear a warm eyeshadow shade and just a hint of sparkle, and have your hair pulled forward in soft curls to cover your shoulders to complement the dress. They're just having a hard time imagining how you'd look all done up. That dress is a stunner. You look amazing. I love that subtle sparkle and detail.


    I love the illusion neckline and sleeves. Look at that smile on your face

    They should love the dress if you do. All that matters is how you feel in it. I personally love the sleeves and sleeves in general because 90% of dresses are sleeveless.
    The sparkle is beautiful.

    I’m gonna mirror what the previous have said. This is YOUR day. Every bride wants that “look in the mirror and just know” feeling. Don’t let other peoples opinions get to you. Not everyone likes sleeves. Not everyone likes sparkles. That’s their own thing. Not yours. Don’t let them take that gorgeous smile from you!!!

    You look stunning! If you love the dress and you feel it’s the one, that’s all that matters. Other people have different tastes and that’s ok, but it’s not appropriate for them them to say you picked the wrong dress. Rock the dress you picked and you don’t need to add anything to it.

    It's actually quite a beautiful dress. It needs to be fitted to your shape and Maybe a different veil. If this is the dress you want then get it.

    Get the one YOU like. I've been married almost 10 years and i'm still salty I let myself get talked out of the one I really loved.

    YOU are the one wearing the dress on YOUR big day, so the only person who gets a deciding vote should be YOU! I love everything about this dress! If you had a whole moment in the dress, I definitely say stick to your guns!

    I love the dress!! It looks beautiful on you and you look happy. I understand wanting them to love it as much as you and how disappointing it is that they aren't as excited about it. But.... What matters most is what YOU like, and what makes YOU feel beautiful and special. I say go for it!

    Definitely go for it!! It sounds like you’ve already had that special moment, which is so awesome. Even just the sample looks gorgeous on you, so it’s going to be that much more perfect when the properly fitted dress comes in! They will (hopefully) learn to love it once they know it’s a done deal.

    Hi sweetheart you got that bridal moment when we try on dress after dress. But once you put this dress on by the way you look amazing and I'm not just saying it. Once you cry in the dress you love there no other one will give that reaction like this one. The flower up top on the dress it gives that that it factor. But it also a say thing is because your mom is buying the dress. I dont like that part because they want the ladt say. I was the same way it's not sparkly there were others but I had my bridal moment in my dress. Fight for it if you want it. Happy dress shopping and Congratulations to you both I'm rooting for you
