You’ve pinned the inspo. You’ve tried on the gowns. You’ve had the moment… or did you?

If you’re a bride who’s feeling overwhelmed, second-guessing, or just plain stuck, it’s not just you. In a world of endless scrolling, group chats full of opinions, and TikToks declaring the must-have dress of the week, saying “yes” has never felt more complicated.

At Sash + Bustle, we hear you. And we’re here to remind you: your yes doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

💡 The Decision Paralysis Is Real

Gen Z brides are the most informed—and most overwhelmed—generation of wedding shoppers. You’ve seen hundreds (maybe thousands) of dresses online. You’re absorbing everyone’s opinion. You’re trying to choose a gown… and curate a moment. That’s a lot.

📲 Too Many Dresses And Too Many Voices

• TikTok tells you what’s trending
• Instagram shows the “perfect” yes moment
• Pinterest says you need options for every photo op
• Your best friend loves a ballgown
• Your mom loves lace
• You… just want to feel good in something.

Here’s the truth: All that input can drown out your voice. And that’s the one that matters most!

💬 What “Yes” Actually Feels Like

Forget crying. Forget fireworks. Forget matching the moment you saw online.

Sometimes “yes” feels like:

• Breathing easier when you put it on
• Smiling in the mirror without thinking
• Not needing to change anything
• Saying, “I don’t want to take this off”
• Feeling like yourself, just turned up to 100

If a dress feels like home, that’s your yes. It doesn’t have to be dramatic. It just has to be true.

With all that being said, here’s our tips for what you can do when you haven’t said “yes” yet…

If you’re finding it tricky to make that final decision, try keeping your crew small—sometimes it’s easier (and way more fun) to shop solo or bring just one person who makes you feel totally supported. Think about how you want to feel on your wedding day—confident, romantic, maybe a little magical—and share that with your stylist so they can help bring it to life.

Try not to get caught up in the “what if” of another dress coming along; trends will always change, but what matters most is how happy you feel in this moment. And if you’re feeling stuck, take a little breather and revisit your favourites later—you might be surprised which one still has your heart. In the end, choose the dress that makes you light up, because that’s the one that’s truly perfect for you.
