The "Other" Dress

Yup, you saw it right. There will be another dress. Lately, I have been having second thoughts about THE wedding dress. Don't get me wrong I do love the dress but I am an impulse buyer with buyer's remorse. When I bought my dress in February, it was the only dress that I saw that I liked and was in the budget. Almost 100 other DB customers gave it 4.8 out of 5 stars, so that helped a lot. So because of this, it was the only one I tried on.

Fortunately (but unfortunately), I found the Wedding Bee which turned my life upside down in terms of wedding planning. I found so many other dress styles that I liked which made me start "regretting" my dress decision. What also didn't help was that quite a few brides of the WB community absolutely hate pick-up style dresses because they are outdated and can look cheap. Well guess who has a pick-up dress?? ME!

This is it...

This is how I want to wear my sash in the back.

So I needed a little reassurance and the best person for that is my Mama. I emailed her (she is my email buddy when at work) and asked her to be truthful about whether she liked my dress and she wrote back saying yes. And I believe her. One thing that she had mentioned is that she has NEVER seen a pick-up dress at any wedding she has been to so it really isn't overplayed in this area. Anyway, when we chatted about this on the phone, she offered a suggestion. Why don't you buy a party dress that you can change into at the reception... WOW! GREAT IDEA!!

Since the main dress is not returnable and I only spent $250 for it, I decided that I will be on the hunt for the "Other" dress. I will wear the main dress from the time I get ready until about 7ish so that we get all the pictures with the dress. The remaining 4 hours I will wear the party dress. This is great because then it will be easier to get down and boogey with my hubby. Oh and I get to show off my shoes!!

So here are some ideas I have for the party dress that I am loving so far... What do you think?

Did anyone else have second thoughts about their dress or any decision they made about the wedding?
