Q. I'm having a very informal wedding in Vegas with about 20-30 friends and relatives. We've even asked our guests to wear dressy clothes, but in their favorite time period! (Renaissance, mobster, 50's, 60's, 70's, whatever their heart may desire) So I want a really fun dress to go along with our theme. I don't want tacky, but something not traditional but still dressy and fun. I'm really interested in a short a-line dress. Here are some examples of dresses that I REALLY like.. if only they were more colorful.

This one would be perfect without the lace and maybe a splash of color.

This is not a short dress. But I gave it as an example because I absolutely love the design of the dresses with the different layers. It's interesting!

Again, this would be the perfect dress, except it's boring. No color and I don't really care for the lacy design on the chest.

This one is really cute. Surprisingly enough, I actually like the gem design and how it kind of cascades off the bodice with a sprinkle here and there on the skirt part. But again, boring and lacks color!!!!
I really also like the Sweet Lolita style (if you know what that is). But would like something a little tamer than that. Something a little more dressy and not so elaborate. I'm a modern girl that has a punk flair.
10 points to the person who can show me 'the' dress or at least a link to some sites that show a lot of great dresses that fit my style. I've looked at so many sites, my brain is numb! I need help. lol

Can't afford our wedding, what should we do?
Stephanie
My fiance and I have put off getting married for a few years, hoping to save up money to have a nice wedding. It didn't work, we have more bills now than we did before. Initially we thought we could swing all the payments for photographer, DJ, venue, etc but we really can't...unexpected expenses just keep coming up. Our families aren't in a position to help us financially either. What do we do? We've already chosen people to be in our wedding party and they'll be upset if we tell them we're just getting married at the courthouse because they've already gotten dresses/suits. There is already a bridal shower scheduled for me, do I just tell the people throwing it to cancel it? What the heck do I say, 'sorry, we're too poor to get married?' I don't want to have a courthouse wedding and be disappointed, but I also don't want to attempt a 'nice' wedding and have it turn out crappy because we had to cut so many corners. I just feel like crying, I'm so tired of worrying about this. :(
Answer
I agree with the person who suggested a courthouse wedding, then having a party later where you exchange vows with your fiance in front of your guests. My husband and I are doing this.
In the '60's & '70's, almost everyone had a simple wedding, but then when everyone saw Princess Diana's wedding on t.v., suddenly there was a lot of interest in having a huge fussy wedding with a lot of expensive tiny details. Now the wedding industry is a huge business making people rich!
I already said this in another answer: Ignore the wedding shows on t.v! They are designed to make you feel jealous. You can still have your one day to be elegant, and do this within a budget.
You can do it! Get out your Costco or Sam's card and Party City coupons, and get crackin'!
