I adore this dress, but family is making me second guess my choice A little background, I (27F) have never wanted to be married in white. From the moment little me saw Brandi as Cinderella in the Rodgers & Hammerstein version I was sold on getting married in soft blue. I went to 4 different shops hunting for a blue dress, but my mother would only let me try on one blue dress then insist I put on white. Don’t get me wrong, there were white dresses I definitely could’ve settled on! But then I found this one, my heart melted, my sister cried, and I knew I found the one, and it fit like a glove straight off the rack! My mother made an awful face, like she tasted something bad, and asked the worker how much it cost. The kind employee (who was also gushing over the dress) told her $675 with no refunds or returns, which was just about what I was wanting to spend on a dress prior to alterations. My mother made another nasty face then asked “Really? What if there’s no wedding?”. My heart dropped. I have been with my fiancé (28M) for 7 years in December, and our relationship is anything but traditional. He knows I’m not getting married in white, and he says no matter what, as long as it’s me smiling and walking towards him, I could wear black. I bought the dress, and now I’m second guessing. I can’t stop seeing my mother’s face, and I just need some advice. Did I choose the right dress? Or should I cut my losses and go find a white one and keep this one for something else? (Sorry for the long post and grammar errors) TLDR: My mother (seemingly) hates my dress and I am worried about my choice. Is this dress wedding worthy?
