I didn’t feel anything when I found my dress. It’s just a piece of clothing. You should be more excited for the marriage than the wedding and dress, so it’s perfectly fine not to have a reaction. I think pop culture and shows like Say Yes to the Dress created an unrealistic idea about dress shopping.
I felt this exact same way to the point of almost having dress regret because I was so in my head about this feeling. My wedding day recently came and I couldn’t have felt more happy or beautiful in my dress. Don’t let the overly showy displays ruin your experience ❤️
Same girl! I was like “yeah this is as good as it’s gonna get so let’s go with it.”
I also had an underwhelming reaction to my dress. I never pictured myself having a big wedding where I’d need an actual wedding dress so it just wasn’t something I’d spent a lot of time thinking about or attached a lot of meaning to. I did feel comfortable and confident in my dress, which is more important than having a big, emotional reaction to it.
I had a very similar reaction and can tell you with 100% confidence that I love my dress. I’m also not one to cry/jump up and down with happiness, so it didn’t surprise me that I didn’t do the same for finding my wedding dress.
My MOH did take a video of my face in the mirror opening my eyes after they put the veil on and you can see a very subtle smile on my face.
Don’t doubt yourself.

I didn't have a huge reaction to my dress either. I will say though after the tailoring I definitely was much happier with my decision. Now I look at pictures and I'm glad I went with that one
Like A1 said, the shows and social media lead us to believe that we have to be crying and fawning over the dress we pick
Shouldn’t have said yes to the dress or the fiancé? Only the latter should be your concern. 🤗
I tried on probably 120 dresses at 10 different stores LOL and still didn’t have a huge reaction. I just smiled and said “ok I actually really like it! I think this is the one.” I’m just picky and thought I wanted a different style initially. But my mom and dad crying I had a reaction to!
I agree with all the ladies here. I liked my dress but didn’t love it bc I was still wanting to see what else was out there but I was tired of shopping around so I went for it. I just keep reminding myself that once you add jewelry, make up, hair it will all come together beautifully and you will love it even more :)
Yeah I was happy with my dress but by no means was I jumping up and down or getting emotional it's a dress.
New to this bowl and this first post is so validating. I was pleased with my dress when buying, but it was everybody around me who was so excited and emotional.
I know it looks great, I just wish I was more ecstatic. But definitely best out of the options I've seen so can't complain
I didn't cry or anything either. People react differently. Comparing yourself won't help, in this situation and many others.

Don’t worry about it. I had an emotional reaction to my wedding dress, but by the day-of, I wished I had a different dress. (Mine was strapless and heavy, so kind of annoying) Pictures turned out well so it’s not a big issue.
