Today I went to David's Bridal to try on a bridesmaid dress. While we were there, my mom and I decided to look at the dresses. It was my first time looking at dresses in person instead of photos online. It was fine, there were a couple dresses I would consider trying on, but nothing that made me want to get married tomorrow. I don't know, I think shopping for the wedding dress has been hyped so much that there is no way it can live up to it. I am not a super girly girl. I don't get excited about clothes the way some people do. And that makes me worry that there will never be ONE "THE" DRESS. I know I'll find a dress, I just don't think I will ever have the reaction brides are supposed to have when they try on the dress.
My other concern is the complete lack of styles I like. Or the abundance of styles I do not. Strapless Dresses. I HATE them. I have a few reasons for this and the number on reason is the pull up. I want to look effortless and elegant and classy on my wedding day. There is no way I can look that way if i have to pull up a strapless dress that is sliding down too low. I could go on and on about why I hate them, but it wouldn't make a difference. Brides everywhere love them. And so that is 99% of the wedding dresses in the world.
I do have hope. Ivanka Trump(Donald's daughter) had a beautiful dress with sleeves. And that is starting some whispers of the winds of change in the bridal gown industry. My other hope: the Royal Wedding. I'm hoping that since that wedding is a huge part of the Church of England, Kate Middleton will choose a more modest style. Whatever she wears will be a HUGE influence on the wedding industry, and I am hoping it goes the way of sleeves!!
Thoughts? What do you think of sleeves on wedding gowns?
