Ideas for Non-Tradtional Wedding Dresses

This article is for all the girls out there that are not looking for the typical wedding dress. Enjoy!

clipped from www.examiner.com Wedding dresses for women who don’t like wedding dresses Upon becoming engaged three-and-a-half years ago, I immediately began thinking about the style of wedding dress I wanted to wear. Since I am most positively not one of the dreaming-about-weddings-since-I-was-a-little-girl kind of woman, I was totally unprepared for what was to come. The wedding dresses I initially tried on at a few local bridal shops were, on the whole, dreadful. Stiff and uncomfortable with exaggerated proportions, weighed down with extensive beading and detailing, and as expensive as a semester in graduate school (which, frankly, sounded more appealing to me than a princess-y dress I’d wear only once). I already knew what I wanted: something simple yet unique that made me feel beautiful, but still made me feel like myself. I also wanted something reasonably comfortable that I’d be able to dance in, because the thought of not being able to dance at my own wedding was downright depressing.
