My wedding gown is adored by all.

In a regular agony aunt paragraph, wedding organizer and user Alison Rios McCrone helps you solve your problems, no matter how big or small.

Dear Alison,

When I first got engaged, I purchased a year ago, and I have some significant questions about it.

When I first tried it on, my mother and my girls were with me, and when I came out of the grooming place, they all burst into tears and described how wonderful I looked.

I was n’t 100 % sure about it at the moment, but I liked that it was beautiful and simple, because our place is pretty low- key, and thought it would seem really typical in the pictures.

But, now my marriage is in two months time, and at my last appropriate I put the: yikes. Although I do n’t hate it, I’ve been seeing princess-y dresses all over, and now that my big day is approaching, I wish I had the guts to choose one of those.

On my wedding day, I really want to feel special, but I’m worried I wo n’t. Is trying to get a new outfit too soon? Or if I really make an effort to recognize what I have now?

Thanks

Suzie

Dear Suzie

First, congratulations on your future wedding!

Feeling is standard, particularly as the big day approaches, and you are not alone, additional wives go through the same experience.

You claim you do n’t “hate” the dress, but you are unsure because you have seen other styles that you enjoy.

Are you feeling this way because of outside forces, like seeing another clothes, or is it a real shift in your style?

It could be the original – maybe, the pressure and planning may make us next- guess yet our best decisions, and there’s a chance that this is one of those times.

Try to rekindle that initial excitement and recall why you chose this dress. There was obviously a reason you felt this was” the one” when you bought it. It clearly has an impact because it brought your mother joy and emotion.

Over the past year, you will have seen a variety of dresses and aesthetics, but as they change, simple, less fussy dresses have stayed classy.

Plus, in my experience, a bride embracing what makes her unique makes more of a statement than following trends.

I advise you to start by talking openly about your feelings with your mother and your bridesmaids. They know you well and, more importantly, have seen the dress on you, their reassurance might help you see it in a new light.

That said, if you feel strongly about, get in touch with the bridal shop.

Some stores offer ready- to- wear options that can be tailored quickly, from sample sales dresses to off- the- rack options.

Their seamstress may be able to recommend additions or modifications to your current dress to make it feel more exclusive and in line with your current style. Adding lace, beading, or a more transform your look.

They might also have ideas for how to style your current outfit. A statement necklace, a beautiful headpiece, or a unique pair of shoes or jewellery can make your outfit feel more’ you’.

If it’s impossible to find a new dress in such a short amount of time, think about the reasons you’re getting married and why you chose that outfit.

Your wedding will demonstrate your commitment and love. Although the dress is important, brides often feel their most beautiful when they are content and at ease, and how you feel about your wedding dress will affect your decision more than the actual dress.

Whatever you choose, you will radiate joy and look stunning.

I wish you the best of luck and confidence for your wedding day and beyond!

Best wishes

Alison
