Dream Dress Part 1

When it comes to choosing a wedding dress, I do have my biases. I learned this soon after browsing at some bridal collections online. I am attracted to the styles that either have lace trims and patterns and/or ribbon sashes around the waist. Even though I'm not a fashion guru, I can only see so many wearable dresses. Something practical, not too boring, and definitely nothing too dominating, not poofy, A-line preferred, tube, and nothing too tight or slim fitting around the bottom half of my legs (picture a mermaid).

With that being said here are some photos of some of the dresses that I've taken an interest in. It won't take long before you pick up on the similarities between them.

Mon Cheri Cindy #9206
I love the lace and especially how it goes across the chest, slightly snug around the hips but overall it's quite romantic of a dress


Mori Lee #2309
Something different - it's not lace but I like the fitting of the dress cause it's more relaxed

Melissa Sweet - Hallie
Gotta love lace


Something simple. I like looking at it but not for a wedding.


Fontaines - Simple dress no.2

Simple dress no.3

Sleeves - not my style but a friend suggested something like this for the top part.


Love the scrunch effect although a little too much considering there will be a bouquet


AJ - Ashten
It's quite a sweet dress especially with a country side background but my fiance says it looks like she's a wearing a mosquito net 0_0

Hopefully gloves shopping won't be too difficult (I'm old fashioned I like gloves)... and don't forget the veil.

Open to suggestions and feedback! Send me your ideas or your own dream dress.

i like the sweetheart neckline. i think that would look really good on you. i LOVE the last dress though! maybe if the train was more of a lace over and not so sheer, it'll be nice. you're petite, so you can pull off most styles. aww danielle can't wait to see you try on gowns !

for the lace dresses, i like the Mon Cheri Cindy but you know i like mermaid cuts so that's no surprise haha

hey tessa, yea i think that's why stephen drew the connection between that and a mosquito net - the sheerness! we should definitely go dress window shopping sometime.

elena donno when we'll go shopping but what's at new west?

yea the mermaid cut looks nice but i guess i like the flowy gown look. i'm not sure if i can pull off the mermaid since i barely have any hips.
