Post dress purchase anxiety?

After shopping at 2 boutiques and 15-20 dresses, I said yes to a champagne and gold lace gown that is beautiful! After signing the papers though, I had a minor panic attack and a few weeks later I'm worried maybe it's not THE dress. Is it normal to have these feelings? The dress is friggin gorgeous and my bridesmaids gushed over it. I did try on one other that's still on my mind but it's a totally different style! I'm one of those brides that loves every dress I put on so for someone like me maybe I'll always be asking "what if" about other dresses out there. Anyone else have mixed emotions instead of the resounding joy of a big YES to the dress?

Thanks everyone! I feel a lot better maybe I'll go try it on again to settle the nerves. It was probably that it was a big purchase that got me, but I also ended up with something I never expected to love. Here was the "other" dress

Definitely go with the one you bought. It's beautiful. I had the same feelings of anxiety and dress regret. It's normal. Don't let it get to you

I still have those feelings and I finished paying for my dress last month after picking it out in October. Our original date was November 2017 but now that we're changing to February 2018, I get to have a whole year to battle down dress regret and keep telling myself that my dress is beautiful and that I picked it for a reason.
Between the dress you chose and the other one, the dress you chose is absolutely stunning compared to the other one which is still pretty but no where close to yours. You made a great choice!
