Dresses That Didn't Make the Cut

Hello fellow brides-to-be!

We all know that the search for the perfect wedding dress can be daunting, long, and exhausting. And we all know that feeling when you find THE DRESS that ends the search.

I want you ladies to show off the ones that didn't make the cut! I really like having pictures to look back on to remind myself that no, I'm not regretting not going with the thin-strapped lace dress that poofed out WAY too much.

The mermaid silhouette does NOT suit mecfb_40245.jpg

The one that needed way to much work to make it workcfb_40243.jpg


Or the thin-strapped number that did NOTHING for me

So post those dresses that you didn't end up loving! I think it would be fun to share what we didn't go with!

    Wow!!!! That dress is stunning on you. You look like royalty. I love the asymmetrical tulle on the bottom, and the shape of the neckline suits you so well. Good choice!

    Thank you! I ended up going with the Lillian West 6515 dress (if you google it you can find pics)! I initially wanted a ballgown but when I put on that A-line dress it fit me like a glove. Just stunning. And theres a slit on the side which I just ADORE. I feel like a forest goddess in it.

    Hahahah I seriously love the leadup you did to your dress! You definitely picked the right one! (Although all the ones you tried on were very pretty! Especially the one you said was almost it!)

    As much as I loved this one, it didn't even compare to "the one"!

    The feathers were very different...reminded me of sex in the city. This is my dress...too much going on to describe. Definitely not one that is for most people but I’m comfortable and confident in it so I was sold lol.

    That's so gorgeous! Your wedding is going to look so lovely! I originally wanted my one bridesmaid to be in floral but it didn't end up happening.

    I am! My 2 bridesmaids are in floral with a little purple shrug cardigan (3/4 sleeve preferably but haven’t found it yet) not the best picture.

    I can totally invision what it's going to look like! I really like how you went with purple as an accent colour! Are you having bridesmaids? If so, what colour will they be wearing? Smiley smile

    OMG I wish you had a picture of this feather one because that sounds like something very interesting lol.

    Such good luck that your niece brought to you what would be your dress! Is your dress white otherwise with a brown flower? What's the style?

    Kelly that's like a fairy tale story of finding your dress, I love it! It's just when you know it you know it, and I'm really happy for you! I had a friend who did the same thing. We went to try on dresses at a consignment store "just for fun" when we both got engaged 3 months apart. The very first dress she tried on was it and although she tried on a few more after, nothing compared Smiley smile

    Girl, I totally feel you on being petite (5'3), so my dress is very similar in puffiness!

    And thank you! I was SO close to getting it (like, driving back to put a deposit down), but I never loved it. I can't wait for my dress to arrive and my wedding to happen so I can post pictures for everyone to see the dress!

    Nope, I’ll be adding a little hint of purple in more of a v, just enough to raise the neckline slightly but not too much and without being straight across. It’ll match the purple I’m adding as the lining of the skirt. So you’ll see a hint of purple peeking through. This is a random sheet of fabric she pinned so I could see what the purple would look like in the skirt and again, the part at the neck was just shoved in to figure out what it could look like. Because I’ll be taking the dress in so much that she’ll have extra lace and sheer fabric which we’ll probably put a piece over it in the same shape so it matches the skirt or top. Hard to explain but basically another hint of purple for the neck. I swear it’ll be stunning, the dress is just way too big on me so it says in places and she just pinned and stuck so it looks a little funny.

    So many different types of gowns! They all look really great on you but you're totally right not to go with that neckline lol.

    What kind of style is the dress you ended up going with? So happy that you found "the one"!

    Definitely take pictures of ALL the dresses you try on! I found that a dress I liked in person wouldn't look the same in a photograph and vice versa.

    Have you started shopping yet? Smiley smile

    The odds are pretty slim that someone would see your dress but I do understand the fear of it.

    Have you found your dress yet?

    WOW! Were they all different shapes and styles? Or did you have an idea of what you wanted?

    Funny that I say "WOW" since I probably tried on at least 20 dresses lol.

    OMG that's an insane price! Way to go! It also looks very beautiful on you Smiley smile Are you going to have the lace part in for sure or have you not decided?

    What kind of shape is it (A-line, ballgown, mermaid, etc.)? Definitely save it for until after the wedding! I've posted mine but I don't think I'll be posting it once I get my actual dress in, in my size, and fitted.
