I ripped page after page out of bridal magazines searching for my dress. (And of course like a bad blogger I have since thrown all of my inspiration dresses out). I started to accumulate a list of "must-haves" and "heck-nos."
Must-Haves:
Strapless (preferably sweetheart)
Or one strapped
Ivory
Or darker
Unique
Mermaid or Fit & Flare silhouette
Heck-Nos:
NO pickups
NO beading
NO lacey stuff
HECK NO open back (this is one bride with cleavage and I'm not trying to skip the bra on my wedding day-even though I LOVE them)
No ruching (I get the purpose but it's not my favorite)
And with this list my mom, my sister, my FMIL, & my aunt went dress shopping.
Did you have a crazy list of requirements when you went searching for your dress?
I like the "unique" dress although you would need a huge wedding just to keep up with the dress! It would be fun to wear for a ball, or just to feel like a princess for a day.
ReplyDeletelooks like a great list! I was engaged for 2 days when i flew to austin on business. I bought my first bridal magazine in the airport. I saw a dress in there I liked. I went to a shop that carried Casablanca. Tried on 7 dresses. Bought a Casablanca dress that looked like my magazine dress but was better. I was in a random shop in Austin and went shopping with a co-worker who is also a bridesmaid. Odd random story but worked for me ;-)
