Dress Shopping

This past Sunday my mom and I had our first dress hunting experience! I tried on six dresses. Most were lace. One dress in particular was awful, it fit like a limp noodle.  I don't even know who would want a wedding dress without any structure to it, but that was the dress for them.

The dress I liked the most was fitted with a strapless lace bustier and satin bottom, trimmed with additional lace  The top part was perfect, but the satin part was silver.  I couldn't decide if I liked it or not. The lace stood out more, which I liked, but the dress was still silver.  If you have to decide whether or not you like it or it's the one, then it's not the one, right?  It's still on the list, for now.

Whenever real life mimics fake life (television, movies, etc.) it's always a surreal experience.  My dress stylist asked me after each dress "Do you love it? Do you say yes to the dress?"  I felt like I was being filmed for my starring performance on Say Yes To The Dress. But, I wasn't and I did not love it or say yes.

What do you think of dresses outside the "normal" ivory and white colors?  Too rebellious?  Wave of the future?

  1. I think ivory dresses are so pretty! I've seen pictures of brides in colored dresses, and if done right, it looks gorgeous. BUT, in my mind, the whole point of a wedding dress is to be white or ivory and to be the only one in all white. It blows my mind to go outside that spectrum...
