Is it a YES for this Wedding Dress?

Think About this before Saying YES to the Wedding Dress

For the soon-to-be brides out there, are you currently stressing yourself out in choosing the perfect wedding dress for your big day? How many dress shops have you visited? How many dresses have you tried and said “No, this is not the dress for me?” Or maybe a dress which you like but the entire Team Bride immediately raised that board saying “LEAVE IT!” I’m sure you are torn between choosing what you love and at the same time what your entire entourage likes.

So, how will you be able to say that the dress that you fit is already the dress for you? How will you be able to convince the bride team and also yourself that it will be the dress that you’ll wear as you exchange your vows and share the sweetest I DO and most romantic first kiss as husband and wife on your big day? Well, aside from standing in of a mirror while wearing that dress, having the majority of the bride team agrees with you in choosing that dress, there are actually several signs to help you decide if you are already ready to SAY YES TO THAT WEDDING DRESS!

1. The dress may not be the dress that you imagined but, you fell in love with it.

We all have that kind of dress that we always imagined wearing during the special days of our lives. Even during the first date, I surely know that you always picture yourself wearing the most beautiful wedding dress gown you have in your closet. What’s more during the big day? One thing is for sure! We ladies all dreamt of becoming a princess or even a queen during our wedding day.

However, sometimes, our dream dress doesn’t look perfect for the big day. So, we need to look for another option and this time, it’s a dress which is completely opposite to the dress that we imagine to wear. If you ever fit a dress, face the mirror and immediately imagine yourself walking down the aisle with that dress and as you think about it, the tears start to fall, maybe it’s a sign for you to say YES.

2. You never want to take the dress off.

Another sign that you have completely fallen in love with the wedding dress is that you never want to take it off the moment you saw yourself in that dress. You just want to take it home even if it’s not yet altered. You just want to sleep wearing it and wish that tomorrow’s the wedding day. Sounds funny but, this really happens in reality! We can finally say it’s our dress if we don’t want to take our eyes out of it and it makes us feel more excited for our big day.

3. You’re comfortable with it, irregardless of the dress style, length and design.

Comfortability over style. Remember, you’ll wear this dress during the entire event. From the ceremony to the venue, you’ll entertain the guests wearing the same dress. If you’re not comfortable with what you’re wearing, do you think you’ll be able to enjoy your big day?

Well, if you’re not comfortable with your dress, the only thing that you’ll surely think about on your big day is when to finally take off your dress coz it’s making you too uncomfortable.

4. You’ll Never Exchange it for Another Wedding Dress

Yes, there are other gorgeous dresses out there that the bride team would like you to try on. But, once you have chosen your dress, you won’t mind all the other dresses around you. You only want the same dress over and over again. You’ll even argue and will surely say “This is my dress/this dress is for me.” It’s about time to say YES to the dress if you never consider to try on other dresses around you.

5. You feel like a Princess or even a Queen while Wearing the Dress

Nothing beats the feeling of being a princess or a queen during your big day. Of course, this feeling will never be complete without a stunning dress. When you put on your dress, do you imagine yourself as a pretty queen walking down the aisle? Ask yourself “Is this the dress that gives me a feeling of being a queen my wedding day?”

If your answer is no, then you definitely need to try on several dresses more. But if your answer is yes, then there’s no need to think twice! You should say YES to that Wedding Dress!

Planning your wedding on your own and with just the help of friends is really quite difficult. Plus, deciding what wedding dress to use will surely be between you and the bride team. They may like what you do not like and hate what you love. But, there is one thing that you always need to REMEMBER: It’s your dress and not theirs. So make sure that you are comfortable with the dress that you will choose. It should be perfect for your big day.
