wedding dresses 50 style image
Krystal
Ive always wanted to be a maggie bride and they have some styles i like online, but not how i always imagined my dress to be, im going to the bridal shop anyway; But where can i find these type of dresses?
I want a ball gown, with a scalloped or sweetheart neckline - - only in white.
Where can i find something like this? Price isn't an issue.
Answer
Since you know what you want, go into any privately owned (not a chain store) bridal boutique and describe what you are looking for. The sales people are usually very well training and know their stock ... so they will be able to pull dresses that fit your description.
I find that the smaller stores offer MUCH better service than the bigger stores. Many large "warehouse" type stores don't offer much service so you spend hours pouring through racks trying to find what you want on your own .... and after looking at 50 dresses on the hanger they all start to look the same.
With smaller stores the sales people know their stock and can give you great suggestions/advice.
My best advice is to try on everything they suggest! They know dresses and they know body types and they want to make you happy. Even if you think "that's not what I had in mind" when you see it on the hanger, try it on anyway, it could be PERFECT on your body. I was really anti-mermaid style because I am short, but a sales person was really insistent I try one on ... I fell in LOVE with the style (not that exact dress) and now I am having a mermaid style gown made for me for my wedding.
GOod Luck!

Would it be weird if I wore a party dress to my wedding instead of a traditional wedding dress?

We have decided to have just a reception, and a small private wedding. But would it be weird for me to wear a party dress to the wedding?And take pictures in that dress? The wedding dress probably would end up in the back of the closet anyway. I still want to be able to have people determine who is the bride and who the bridesmaids are because we will still take pictures as if they were at the wedding ceremony. I want them to wear the same color, but it doesn't really have to be the same dress. Ladies your thoughts on this?
Answer
Not weird at all! I'm sort going to wear a a white with black polka dotted 50's style dress. I can't find one so I'm having to make it. We're having a small wedding as well. We're going to have dinner and say our vows. No aisle, no bridesmaids etc. The dress fits with our theme and is more practical then a wedding gown which, you'll only wear once. We're already spending so much money on everything else. And you know back in the day the brides dress was their best dress, pretty much whatever nice dress they owned. And white wasn't always the traditional color, I think it was Queen Victoria who started that trend. I may have my queens wrong so don't quote me on that!
I'm sure you'll look great :)
Pfft, for Honeybee and anyone else saying that people wont know you're the bride...If the people don't know who is getting married, then why the hell are they there?! LOL
