As I slowly begin to pull together ideas and information for an upcoming wedding, I am becoming more and more frustrated. For those of you who have never had the pleasure of simply flipping through a wedding magazine, this may be eye opening. A quick glance will prove all stereotypes about the blushing bride and perfect, magical wedding; complete with long, flowing white princess ball gowns, tons of girls in matching pink dresses, and roses all around. Aww, how sweet and perfect.
Except it’s not me, in fact I’d venture to guess it’s not a lot of people. After going through quite a few wedding books I got thoroughly discouraged at the complete lack of dresses that were not floor length and ball gown worthy. Where are the short, or even tea length dresses? Hopefully come spring and summer there will be more options, but I’m not holding my breath.
For those brides that aren’t cookie cutter stereotypes and want to have a more personal, reflective wedding, well you’re on your own out there. Luckily, we have the internet with lots of other choices. Hopefully my search will get better and I’ll be able to find more items that are truer to fiancé and myself…until then.
