I get increasing disaffected and uninterested in the contemporary and traditional kind of wedding dress shops and websites want to offer today's brides. I think half my problem is that I'm not very normal, I'm somewhat quirky in my outlook and attitude. I wouldn't know what a princess dress if it came and slapped me in the face I'm afraid, or what a diamanté tiara might be or how long a train a girl would want.
It's not me and for a time it was getting at me, feeling like a wedding had to be like that. But a wedding's about what me and Joe want, right? It's just a another visual way of reflecting who we are as not only a couple but individuals just as much.
I keep opting for a 1930s dress, of which it doesn't even have to be white/ivory/egg shell whatever "white" is termed under (its like searching for paint colours). That era offers something that's timeless, something that's elegant, feminine and beautiful. It'd reflect my favourite era and be more "us" then any conception of a modern wedding ever could achieve.
1930s inspired dress and red shoes - perfect.
What do you think? Should a wedding dress always be white?
