2 weeks before my wedding and I am not convinced about my dress. It’s a bummer because I put a lot of effort into! I like the skirt but not the top, and alterations say it’s too late to change it. Any advice?

Your wedding isn’t about your dress; it’s about your marriage. You will be happy and enjoy your day even if you wore a potato sack. And I’m sure your fiancé/husband will think you look absolutely stunning in it.

I called around for a seamstress who could do rush alterations, from initial appointment to my final dress was about 6 days.

If you can find a dress off the rack, or with express shipping, this could be possible but will be very stressful.

With that said, i agree with other comments that I’m sure it’s not as bad as you think. You’re probably the only one who doesn’t like it and you’ll get all the compliments either way. Just relax and enjoy the wedding!

You picked a dress you love! Stick with it! It is super common to have these feelings (I did) and when I put my dress on for my wedding, I automatically remembered why I fell in love with it in the first place.

Look into Lulus!! They have a good and affordable bridal section. I really like the quality of the dresses and their efficient customer service. You can literally order 5 or more dresses to try on and return them very easily. Dresses usually arrive within 3-5 days so you have enough time to choose another dress and have small alterations. Everyone deserves to feel and look beautiful on their wedding day. 💕 Hope this helps!

Additional Posts in The Wedding Bowl

We’re having an Indian wedding on a Sunday with ceremony in the morning, followed by lunch, and then cocktail hour + reception.

Given that the wedding starts early, we will have guests (~30) flying in the day before. What is the expectation in terms of arranging dinner for them? We’re trying to avoid having an additional event Saturday night - any idea on if these guests would need to have food arranged for them by us and what that could look like on a cost effective budget.
