A US woman has shared a piece of advice for future brides after revealing the one thing she wished she hadn’t done before her wedding.
Nicole Pellegrino, who married earlier this year, said you should not show anyone your wedding dress before your big day.
In a video shared to her TikTok account, Nicole advised to only show your dress to your nearest and dearest, The Sun reports.
“Grab your mum and your mother-in-law ... that’s ALL” she captioned the post that has been viewed almost 400,000 times.
In the short clip, Nicole explained showing a photo of her dress to “anybody who asked” was her biggest wedding mistake.
“Do not show anyone your wedding dress before your wedding day and here’s why,” she wrote.
“I was showing mine to literally anybody who asked, I’m not kidding, whether it was a friend, a distant relative, a co-worker, I was dollin’ photos of that dress out like hot cakes, and I regret it.”
She said that she could tell by people’s expression if they didn’t like her dress, even if they didn’t say it.
“People are bad liars and no matter how hard they try, if they don’t like your dress when you show them that photo, it will show on their face. Their true feelings will show,” she said.
“So even if you truly love your dress and feel great in it, those little opinions will subconsciously start to taint your perspective of your own dress.”
She advised that you should only bring people you really trust with you shopping, and only let people in this small circle see your dress in advance of the wedding.
“Instead, grab two to three people that you really trust, and you want their opinions on the dress, take them shopping with you, have them support you throughout the way – only show them,” she said.
“That way, on the big day, it’s a big surprise for everybody, all your bridesmaids will see it for the first time, it’s really special, and you don’t have to deal with people’s opinions.”
Since sharing her experience, TikTok users have been quick to thank Nicole.
“This is REALLY good advice,” commented one person.
“Yes 100 per cent agree with this. The dress I’m going to wear isn’t a basic dress; some people have given me really negative feedback on it,” another TikTok user said.
“Yes! I can relate to this. I’ve had so many doubts about my dress over the past few weeks all because of one person’s comment and my reaction,” a third person commented.
Despite the negative feedback, it seems Nicole wore her chosen dress with confidence on her big day.
In a separate video, the newlywed could be seen standing on a balcony overlooking a body of water wearing her strapless white gown with beaded detailing.
“I’m never taking it off,” she wrote.
Followers praised her gown, writing: “This might be the prettiest wedding dress I’ve ever seen.”
