Whats the difference between a wedding dress and a wedding gown?

Answer
All wedding gowns are wedding dresses, but not all wedding dresses are gowns. (Just like all poodles are dogs, but not all dogs are poodles.) Gowns are long and tend to be formal. Dresses can be long, short, formal, or informal. My wedding dress was a short cocktail-type dress, but not a gown.

Your Wedding Gown?

Q. Where did you purchase your wedding gown?
Did you purchase it online or at a local bridal shop?
Were you satisfied?
Do you think you spent too much or not enough?
What kind of a dress was/is it? Ballgown, A-Line, princess gown train/no train, short/long?
What color was it? White, ivory, champagne, cream, red .... ?
Did you wear a veil, headpiece or tiara?

I just like to collect some opinions and ideas.
Oh and it would be great if you had a picture of the gown you were wearing at your wedding or will be wearing.

Thank you for your help!


Answer
Paula, wear what you want and what you look best in. You don't need to spend a fortune on a wedding dress, I just got married over thanksgiving and got my dress at a local shop...(best for alterations), and it cost 169.00...and it was beautiful. Champagne is really in now and a great subdued color, had a flower wreath on head, much classier than tiaras, tiraras to me are princess want to bes, skip that one.
My wedding budget was not huge, but it looked pretty good. I would spend my money on a good photographer, and nice flowers, we just had 3 lillies, w/ribbon, they smell great and last for a long time...
I think the more simple the dress, the better unless you are 5'10' and weigh 70 pounds...too much dress is tacky to me. I would send a picture but I can't figuire out how to do it!!! lol...slightly computer challenged...
Keep it simple, you can do a high end wedding w/o putting out a ton of money....it was my second wedding, the first one was over the top, cost my parents a fortune and I hated it...the smaller wedding worked for me, was classier, and most importantly, w/o all the hype, I concentrated on what I was doing, getting married to the man of my dreams...just my opinion, good luck.
