Really once the day comes it is funny how much you put into all the detail of your dress when you could wear a white trash bag and look amazing. It is the glow and the makeup and the hair and the whole ambiance of it all that makes you look amazing

I thought my dress was beautiful on the model- I ordered it from a mag in the bridal shop. Once I had it on, I felt fat and unsure of my decision. I road it out because I had no options. I thought the dress was pretty, but I didn't feel pretty IN it, if that makes sense.
Anyways, day of wedding- it's not about the dress. It's about everything. Your hair, your makeup, your look- the dress is just part of it. The emotions of the day supersede everything. Your dress will only be a glimmer in the big picture.
Trust me- if you like your dress, you will LOVE it on the day of. I think you could put a bride in love in a paper sack and her beauty and confidence would overshadow the dress. No worries- you will be beautiful and most importantly you will FEEL beautiful. LMAO we wrote almost the same thing down to the bag HA HA HA
