Help needed on deciding (I’m very overwhelmed)

Hello! I am very new here (this is my first post) so I am not sure if I am doing this right but I’m trying. Also I am so sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes.

I got engaged on March 28th. It has been a lot since then. Since me and my husband to be are wanting to get married this year (we are thinking mid of September - middle of October, somewhere in there) my mom is trying to get us to make a lot of decisions quickly. one of those decisions is dress.

We went shopping 2 times and have found 4 ish dresses that I liked. 3 are thrift store dresses that would need a lot of alterations and the 4th is technically a bridesmaid dress that we can get in white (my mom chat gpted a picture of it in white). we did not get pictures of the 3rd dress but it was very pretty. It was very simple, off the shoulders, had princess seams in the front and was form fitting around the middle and then had a simple skirt.

Do I choose one of theses dresses or do I keep looking?

I am feeling very overwhelmed with everything right now so please be kind.

TL;DR choose one of these dresses or keep looking?

Scalloped or round veil?

My indecisiveness strikes again!! Thank you all in advance for your thoughts. My seamstress recommended between a 110 and 120 inch veil. I plan to order a 118 inch cathedral veil on Etsy. I just can’t decide between scalloped and round!!! what do you all think? Pictures of my dress as well as the two veils I’m considering attached.

Wedding Shoes

Hey Everyone! I had already made a post about my wedding dress, just sharing the photos of the shoes I wore since a redditor wanted to know.

They were really great to walk in especially since my wedding was a garden wedding, these were the perfect shoes for that setting.

Let me know if you would wear these. 😊

UPDATE: Just adding the link to the dress here;

Help before Alterations!

I have an alteration appointment tomorrow & I am so stuck on if to ask for sleeves, or if I should wear fingerless gloves. I have tattoos that I would like covered & the only way to do it would be either of those options (I don’t want to do makeup). I like full lace gloves, or tulle with lace for sleeves.

Thoughts on the dress as a whole? The front is open/very low-cut so it’s clipped, & hoping the seamstress can just close it together as this dress is quite a few sizes too big. I was told the back can have a corset put in as well so I can really cinch my waist. I know nothing about dresses or alteration!

Please give honest opinions - thanks in advance ❤️

Lace Dress Hemming

Hi everyone I’m really stressing over my lace gown. It’s about 4 inches too long in front. The seamstress said she could hem the lace and reattach it but there might be a seam. Has anyone had this done to their dress? If so please share a photo. I’m worried it will stand out too much!

Shape wear/undies for the big day?

Not sure if this has already been asked here. Maybe TMI, or maybe I’m just a weird body shape and nobody else has this problem. Either way, I am hoping the lovely brides here can help sense-check me on yet another endless rabbit hole I have fallen down a mere 42 days away from the wedding…picking the right shape wear/undies for the big day 🙃

I really want to feel *snatched* on my wedding day, and I thought I did everything right early on. My dress is fully bespoke with heavy-duty built-in boning, and the cut I picked works well for my body type. Being of shorter (and admittedly rounder) statute, I made sure to bring several types of shapewear to my first fitting. All the classic spandex-like pieces that have great reviews online (skims, honeylove, spanx, etc), ended up making me look SUPER flat. Like, no bust, no waist, no hips…pretty much just a log wrapped in lace.

My stylist recommended that it may be worth exploring a bustier to help cinch the waist in the way that I’m looking for, and opt for a lower compression undie for the hips. It’s an interesting thought, but I don’t know how I’d feel wearing another boned piece underneath the dress.

Has anyone else struggled with finding the right shapewear? If so, did you find an alternative solution that worked for you?

Any recs are also appreciated…I’ll take anything to ease my mind at this point!
