Did you have any regrets for your wedding dress/wish you'd done something differently?

[AbsDuCroissant]

Just wondering. I've thought I'd found the dress about 50 times, and continue looking. Reading catinboots' thread on chat, there were some people who wished that they'd worn a more dramatic dress etc. and I've heard of some people regretting their choice/being bullied into something.

so - any regrets?

I wish I had bought a bra before I bought the dress. As every single flaming bra showed, and being a 32f I didn't have the option to go without.
I'm not in the camp that wedding dresses have to be perfect. Mine was £200 (a bridesmaids dress originally) and didn't look utterly fantastic. But the day was wonderful anyway.

I am planning to wear mine again when I renew my vows on our 10th anniversary, with the best corset boob buster available and with my hair looking natural and nicer than last time, oh and all my kids as accessories.

Totally loved mine. Loved the colour (a rich smokey purple), loved the cut, felt like a million dollars all the time I was wearing it. And it only cost ?195 (about £170). It wasn't even a little bit like the dress I thought I wanted, but it was completely perfect.

You'll know yours when you see it.

Well its our 25th wedding anniversary tomorrow. Lasted a bit longer than Andrew & Fergie who got married 3 days before us!
I still like my wedding photo, although looking at it just it has quite big 80's type shoulder pads.
Dress was from Harrods and was drop waisted, cream, calf length with a tie bow at hip level. We got married in a registry office.
Think it was the first dress I saw, andit was just what I had in mind.
I threw it out a few months ago, after trying it on again and seeing it still had stains on it from our wedding day. Obviously I never bothered to have it cleaned

I really really wish I'd worn a red dress. It's the colour I look best in and a few months after my wedding I saw one which would have been perfect. It didn't even occur to me not to wear white!

I loved my dress, although I wish I had worn more elaborate hair and jewellery with it.

I wish I hadn't worn a big white dress.

I did it for my mum but white is not my colour, I felt uncomfortable and "princessy" (hate that) all day.

DH didn't pay me a compliment at all that day either so I guess he didn't love it - he would have preferred something less traditional too.

Defineme- my dress was designed from a drawing to.
I LOVED my dress. It was plain but meringue like. It was white because I suited the colour better than any other. I had little symbols and things secretly sown in. The style is sort of early 60's and perfect for me. I don't think I'll ever regret it. I loved all my accesories and everything. In fact I think its the only outfit I have been happy with.

lillybloom that sounds lovely :)

I regret my choice, although my dress was lovely. I originally tried it on in red, and then ummed and ahhed and eventually got the ivory one because I had a traditional catholic ceramony. DH said he was really glad I wore "white" but it's just not me. My dress was also strapless, which I regret because so was every other bloody dress around that time! I love lace, but struggled to find lace dresses (in my price range) and the ones I did try on were really really itchy.

Everyone said they thought my dress was beautiful. and I believe them, but a lot of people also said they were surprised at my choice and thought I'd've gone for something a bit more quirky, and I wish I had!

Kyacat Thank you

I had a pre-wedding wobble, but ultimately I loved the look of my wedding dress.

However, it was the most uncomfortable thing I have ever worn. Not just a bit awkard, but actually painful. I couldn't eat, drink or dance properly, I had chest and stomach pains from being so restricted in it and sores across my sides the next day. Oh, and I almost fainted in the church.

Check my drama-queeness out

Amazingly, it didn't actually look too tight. Moral of my story is that if you have massive tits, don't only rely on a corset-type top to restrain them, it has a huge effect on the rest of your upper body supporting that weight.

I loved my dress and still do! I wouldn't fit into it now (and its only 7 years ago) which is a good job because i had it made into a christening gown afterwards and my two daughters wore it to be baptised.

I would have put more effort into losing weight beforehand. And I'm still annoyed that although I went in saying I needed sleeves I was talked into a halterneck. Looked quite striking but bloody hell, my upper arms look awful(ly fat and fishwife-like) in the pictures. Also wish I hadn't bothered with the fake tan - it stank, and was sticky, and the girl who did it told me not to wash!!!!(vom)
However, we too had a really fab party which is what I remember and what all our guests commented on. There was a problem with our photos so we have never seen them, so only have casual snaps taken by our guests so only have a really informal record of the day with no focus on the dress - and that's the way I like it.

I tried on so many and found lots that were very nice and would have looked lovely but none that made me go 'wow'. I was adamant it would be a dress not a 2 piece. Eventually we found a tiny shop in a town I never usually go to and I reluctantly agreed to try a bluish silver 2 piece with a bustle skirt. I loved it and still do. Wore the top with a black skirt on our 1st anniversary.

Wish I'd bought some silver strapped sandals to go with it, there were hardly any around then, I've seen loads the last couple of years!

Ignore the dress in your head and try something different...you might surprise yourself!

Now that I am earning less and have dcs I regret spending such an obscene amount of money on something that could only be worn once and could not be sold on. Apart from that it was an amazing dress.

I loved mine - very simple, strapless (the horror!) and a -line. I was still bf DD (5 months old) when we got married, and I could feel my boobs getting bigger and bigger throughout the ceremony and breakfast. Couldn't wait to escape so I could get the dress off and feed her.

I did feel very glamorous though sitting in the bridal suite of the hotel, heels, beautiful knickers and full bridal veil, feeding the baby.

Would have gone for something much lighter, my dress gave me a nice shape but it weighed a ton which was an error as I love dancing and it just got on my nerves on the dance floor.

ah no, I liked mine. It was exactly what I wanted - like a 1920s one, very light and wraithlike. I had it made from an old photograph

I loved mine, but then the wedding was only two weeks ago, so you'd hope I'd still like it!

I only got it 10 days before the wedding, and it is waaaaay more bridal than I intended (was thinking of something in a bright colour), but it was totally perfect in the end - relaxed, easy to dance in, comfortable, but still bridal.

Oh, and MN is responsible for it, so it must be good
