Hi everyone, I'm looking for some dress help and opinions!
I've never really liked traditional wedding dresses and have always seen myself in a tea length dress, something a bit different and funky. I've tried on a few but struggled to find anything that really grabs me in bridal shops. One I really did like was this one:
It's pretty much the style I wanted, although I would want it in a shorter length and champagne rather than ivory, so I wasn't able to try on the 'exact' dress. I also have spoken to a dress designer who could make me something similar but to my exact specifications and in any colour I want - including some fun coloured petticoats which I'd love.
However on my last shopping trip I ended up trying on all sorts of different types of dress just to see and this one just grabbed me as being highly fabulous and made me look amazing:
Now, these two dresses probably couldn't be more different!! The second is absolutely ginormous and although I loved wearing it in the shop, I'm not sure it's 'me' or would fit with our wedding (which is a small affair in a little family run vineyard... I'm not even sure the dress would fit down the aisle in the little ceremony room!!) The main thing that's on my mind is that no other dress has really made me say 'wow'! But perhaps that dress would make anyone say 'wow'... I mean it is spectacular. I'm not the kind of person to break down crying at a dress and fully expect that the dress I choose will be one that makes me say 'yeah I like this', that feels like 'me' and I can see wearing for a full day. I am a practical woman!
Anyway, just wanted some thoughts - what would you do?? Fabulous, expensive and impractical vs funky, easy to wear but still a little unknown...
