Crazy to get my dress 8 months before?


Recommended Posts

Day before yesterday, I went to a bridal salon after work and found a dress I really liked. At this salon, you buy that dress rather than ordering it. Its a discount salon but designer dresses.

 

So my mom drove in 2 hours this morning to see it and bought it for me on the spot! I now have my wedding dress hanging in the closet and my wedding is 8 months from tomorrow. Did I get my dress too early? It's everything I was looking for (fit, color, front, back, price!) My only concern is that I hadn't tried on enough dresses. I'm really bad with commitment and do this back and forth on everything (apartments, cars, jobs, any big decision).

 

Please tell me 8 months before is not too soon!

Dallas: i am only about 8 months and 2 weeks out from my ideal wedding date, no i don't think it's too early to get your dress. i started looking about 1.5 months ago and wouldn't stop looking. the only reason i stopped is because i went home to Minnesota for a dress b/c there's no sales tax up there on wedding dresses. i can't afford to keep going up there so i settled on one that i really love. plus, i will get it back earlier and then i can keep trying it on. hehe my other top choices were all supposed to take 6-8 months to come in if i ordered them so i was actually cutting it pretty close or so said most of the sales people. I also keep thinking that i'll find one i like better that maybe i jumped the gun a little bit but i do that with everything. i do it with new shoes, new clothes, new books, EVERYTHING so i'm trying to not be like that.

i think if you love the dress then good for you for finding one so soon and not having to stress out about it! :)

I don't think you're crazy at all! I ordered my dress at the first shop I went to try on dresses (Lulu's). I was feeling the exact same way you were but I quickly got over it. I'm so happy with my choice, and am glad to have that decision over with!! I've made myself promise not to even look at other dresses because I can be very indecisive and wishy washy when it comes to big decisions like this.

 

I say be happy, don't look at any other dresses and put a big red check mark next to "Dress"! :)
