wedding dresses
Permalink  
 

I'm supposed to go dress shopping in a couple of weeks and I have absolutely no idea where to go or what to look for. I'm a sad former bridal magazine employee!

I know I want something short (like above the knee, not micro-mini). Something simple. Most likely strapless. White.

Can someone pick something for me and tell me to get it?

Seriously. I know some of you love looking for stuff online and I'd love suggestions so I at least have printouts to bring to the bridal store when I go.

Thanks so much!

Sincerely, lame-o bride

um, I expect links from you not criticism!

I think I'm going to order the invitations next week. I just want to close out this cc statement without adding anything else since I have disney on there.

Those are cute! Although I'm not in the sparkly shrug thing on the first one.

I like a-line. I'm small but hourglass-y so something with a nipped in waist is good. Otherwise I look like I have no shape.

I was looking at this one:

and this one:

http://www.theknot.com/wedding-dress/galina-exclusively-at-davids-bridal/kp3280?ctx=4:15:-1:-1&src=res

to give you an idea.

 I was looking at those last week. I haven't decided how I feel about them yet.

I like the idea of them but I'm not sure I'd actually wear them.

I want to get blue/turquoise/jade beaded sandals with a heel for dinner after the ceremony. So good luck to me.

This one might be a little long for you, not sure, but it is shorter in front and I just think it looks very "beachy". http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_Spaghetti-Strap-Chiffon-Gown-with-High-Low-Hem-21208_Bridal-Gowns-Shop-By-Silhouette-Short

oh wow! Thank you all! I super love all of them.

Crystal, that second one is totally not what I was looking for but I really love it. There is a David's Bridal in Castleton so I'll definitely have to check it out.

I told Dustin last night that my goal is to look so beautiful that he wants to be with me forever. He was like uh, you do. That's why I asked you to marry me silly.
