I've watched a few episodes of "Say Yes to the Dress", and it's all rather obscene. Rather than feeling inspired to spend thousands of dollars on a dress, I feel like running the other direction - right into a sun dress. I do not want to look like an ice queen or sexy beauty pageant princess. I want to look fantastic and beautiful - and I don't need an $11,000 dress to accomplish that.
I'm not intoxicated by most of the traditional gowns. I want a dash of color. I want some pizazz. I want straps to keep it up that heavy white beast, because I'm going to dance the night away. But, most of all, I want to feel both comfortable and beautiful. Traditional "bridal gowns" don't feel like they even begin to give you those options. I am not looking forward to wedding dress shopping in a few months. Any ideas, friends?
I don't know, I kind of like how *that* dress would look on you - but you're right. I think straps are a very good idea.
ReplyDeleteI love say yes to the dress, but I agree on how unrealistic it all is.
ReplyDeleteI love shopping, and would love to help with dress shopping if ya need some moral support! I'll let you know if I have any ideas!!
