Red84 Posted August 21, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 21, 2014 So is anyone wearing a dress that is NOT White/Silver/Ivory? If so what color are you wearing? This is an idea of what I would like :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnePsychLynne Posted August 21, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Omg that's beautiful! I would LOVE to get married in a wine red dress. And carry white roses and have a red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. Kind of like everything in reverse LOL.

VASOXFANN Posted August 21, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) That is gorgeous! Since this is my second wedding, and our colors are navy and gold, I thought about wearing a navy blue gown, or at least one with navy blue or gold accents accents. Then tried on some traditional ivory lace gowns and fell in love with one. :o Edited August 21, 2014 by VASOXFANN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImaginationCruiseBride Posted August 21, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) I got married almost 3 weeks ago. This is what I wore: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10204722941583026&set=t.1521378497&type=3&theater As you can see it was a knee length pink dress, but I am older and it was both of our second marriages. Our daughters were the matrons of honor (we each just have one daughter) and their husbands were the Best Men I can not get the photo to imbed here....grrrrr! But the link is good, it's just to my fb page. If you want to see all the photos feel free to add me on facebook, the name is Lori Snelling Edited August 21, 2014 by ImaginationCruiseBride because the picture didn't show up!

NL2134 Posted August 21, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Unfortunately, my husband made it pretty clear that he wanted my dress to be white. He actually stated that he wanted real white, but he didn't even notice the difference with my ivory dress. But, I did bring in a pop of color with a blue sash that went long in the back. Although, I know he would have been happy regardless of what I was wearing. And my sister-in-law wore a dress similar to the attached photo for her wedding 12 years ago. Still white, but with a lot of red in it. I actually love the idea of a colored dress. Some people may think it odd, but there really isn't any reason it has to be white. And the white dress is actually a fairly new tradition, only starting in the early to mid-1900's. Prior to that brides just wore whatever best dress they had in their closet. And for most of history, blue was the symbolic color of purity, not white, so there goes that reasoning also. The big white wedding dress is actually a recent "tradition" created by the wedding industry to get women to spend more money, as are most of the typical wedding "traditions" today. If you look into it, many of the things we think are tradition for weddings were actually started around 1950-1960's by the wedding industry. So, if people question a colored dress choice, there is a lot of historical basis to justify your decision, not that you should need to explain your choice to anyone.

seabride720 Posted August 22, 2014 #7 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I haven't ordered my dress yet (still choosing among 3 styles, LOL) but I'm leaning towards a pink chiffon wedding dress or a super light lilac one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrstriceasnice Posted August 27, 2014 #13 Share Posted August 27, 2014 My dress came today! Yay! I'm so amazed at the quality for the price. Light in the box dot com. $150! The built in bra is amazing. I thought sure I'd still need a strapless bra but I won't. And the under skirting is great. I won't need a crinoline either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums My wedding is january 25th. I ordered the first part of August, 1. Because that was when I had it budgeted and we are sticking to our budget and 2. so that I have time for alterations if needed. My co-worker used to be a wedding dress seamstress and has offered to do it for free so I want to be sure she isn't rushed or pressured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always heard its smart to buy your dress early that way you can make alterations but not so early that if you plan to lose or gain weight that it doesn't fit or hangs wrong,so I think you were very smart!!!

Yes she is definitely having to shorten it in the front but keeping the back to give me a longer train also adding a bustle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
