Is it normal to begin to hate your wedding dress?

I am really starting to freak out. I am getting married in 2 months, and all the planning and detail work is right on track, and I have had my dress for about 3 months now. I all of a sudden (over the past 2 weeks) have begun to HATE my dress. I went for the first fitting, and I just did not feel beautiful. When I first bought it, I tried on dozens of gowns, and cried when I put it on, it was that beautiful.

Is what I am feeling normal? I know I am just freaking over nothing, because I cannot name one single feature about the dress that I don't like, just overall have begun to hate the thing. Any advise or stories anyone can share with me?

    I totally know what you are feeling! I did the exact same thing (I got married about two months ago) honestly the best thing you can do is to try not to look at your dress or think about it (as much as is possible) instead think about just that feeling you had when you first tried it on. I literally did the same thing, tried it loved it (i then bought it that same day and even brought it home!) but gradually started to doubt mt decision etc etc but on the day I promise you - it and you will look amazing that first gut reaction that you had is what everyone else will feel!

    A sales assistant in one bridal shop said to me after trying and re-trying "you know they only ever see you in one wedding dress - they aren't comparing them like you are" when she said this I thought she was being a bit rude - but she wasn't its totally true! you will wear one dress, you will look amazing and you will laugh at how much you went off it when the day comes around and everyone is telling you how amazing you look!

    Good luck, have fun and enjoy!

  • I had this feeling. I bought my dress probably 8 months before the wedding & I saw it so many times hanging in the closest before I took it for alterations. I started to hate it & was thinking about selling it on ebay before any alterations were done so I could go pick out a new dress. Well my then fiance thought I was nuts for wanting a different dress. When I finally took it for alterations I did not see if for about 3 months & when I went in for a fitting I had the same warm fuzzy feelings I had for the dress the day that I bought it. I got the goosebumps again & felt like crying because I had not seen it in so long.

    Try not to think about the dress as much. Maybe if you focused on other things concerning the wedding it wouldn't get to you. I've never been married so I'm not sure if what you're feeling is normal, however you probably are just excited, nervous, anxious, and nautious all at the same time. Don't sweat it I'm sure you'll look gorgeous!

    It's probably just jitters. I loved my dress. My only worry was that it wouldn't fit on the day of because I had gained some weight. (I'm a nervous eater) 3 yrs later I still love my dress and the new dresses that I see out there are very similar to the one I wore. I wish I could wear it again.

    Well you should feel pretty but keep this in mind. Its not about the wedding or the dress. The most important thing is the marriage the wedding is one day. You should just think how lucky you are to have found someone who loves you and you love him back. Good luck and Have fun!!! I mean it. Don't worry about the details of the wedding just enjoy it and him!

    Hating your dress is a normal thing to feel. The first fitting of my dress I Absolutely loved it! The next fittings I hated the way it looked on me and felt but on the day I felt wonderful. Standing there in my dress made me feel really special and I loved every minute of it. Trust me, on the day everyone will comment on the way you look and you'll feel fabulous!!!

    Part of wedding jitters! Your quest for everything to be perfect on your wedding day is taking over your mind set. Take a deep breath and remember what this wedding is about "The love you share with your hubby to be" and your future together. Everything will fall in place, wait and see. MY prayers are with you both.
