I went to David's Bridal to try on wedding dresses with my younger sister the other day, just to get a head start on what I think I would like to wear. It was fun and some dresses really surprised me! I have decided that I don't want to post pictures of my actual dress (on here or on any of the boards that I post on). I don't want anyone who will be at the wedding to stumble upon it; I want everyone to be surprised! Although I am not sure what dress I will be wearing, I know that there are some dresses that I for sure will not be wearing. Here are a couple of those!
Although I like the way this one looks on me, it doesn't fit with how I want my wedding to look. I do feel like I have a very nice shape in this top though!
This one is more like what I imagine: something classic that I won't look back at and cringe! I like the way this looks (minus the serious cleavage), but there just wasn't anything very special about it!
This was one that I knew right away would not be the dress for me. It was one that Nick had said that he liked in the catalog, so I tried it on to see. I think it looks OK but it's just a little too trendy for me. I described it to the consultant as "young" looking, and she replaced that with "trendy"...I think that works well!
I can't wait to go back and try on some other dresses (along with my top choices again!). What I decide will really depend on where we decide to get married, as the couple of venues that we have in mind have varying formality!
i love the first and last. the textures are so pretty! but, they all look great :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely like the second one the best. It is very flattering on you - maybe it is the rouching? I found rouching to be best for my figure personally. But the third is also beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see more choices!
Thanks guys! It may a be a while until you see the actual dress, but I promise to post again with some of the ones that I don't wind up picking!
ReplyDeletei agree that the venue can help decide a lot of things when it comes to the dress. looking is the fun part! I plan to do an entire scrapbook page of the "dresses that never were" (and blog post) after we're married!
ReplyDeleteAwww! You look beautiful in all of those dresses.
ReplyDeleteI love the second and third dresses! Of course, my dress was pretty "trendy" as well.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you not posting any pictures of your actual dress! I think maybe two or three people saw my dress in its bag in my closet; no one but the shop workers saw it on me and there were NO pictures floating around. It was a complete secret and I think it surprised everyone, which was great :o)
