    wasn't sure where to mention this, but thought it was worth a mention! I work for a charity and our current appeal is a Celebrity Boutique where we have dresses donated by celebs to auction on ebay. Our collection includes a gorgeous dress from Jemima Khan that would be a great wedding dress. Bidding starts at £50 (no reserve) on 21st Oct, you can sign up before then for email updates before then if you like. Here is the link http://www.royalmarsden.org/boutique/?page_id=147

    I know I'm being a bit cheeky as I have a connection with this, but I would love it if one of my fellow MSE brides bagged a bargain! x

    I really need to stop looking at wedding dresses. :undecided I have already bought and paid for mine (£1020 :eek: - I know not very :money:MSE) but at the time i LOVED it and i still do but i am not getting the same buzz from it like i used to. I keep thinking did i actually find the dress for me or am i just being stupid???

    I have seen so many gorgeous dresses out there and some of them are way better than mine.

    Have any of you felt the same as me at some point or is it just me? Am not going to change my dress as OH will KILL ME lol :rotfl:but i sometimes feel like i have made the wrong choice......

    Go back to a shop that stocks a sample of it and try it on again and I'm sure all the reasons you loved it so much will come back :)

    I look at other all the time! Wonder if I should have gone more traditional and then I remember that the dress I have is the one that jumped out at me! It is the one dress that made me smile the moment I tried it on! I remember that I didn't particularly choose it - it chose me!

    THe one you have bought is my favourite! I bet that when you first tried it on you didn't want to take it off, because it made you feel so beautiful. Now stop looking at other dresses, and go and try yours on again - you'll remember then why you chose it.
