Anyone go with a non traditional dress?

Megan, on August 17, 2021 at 6:50 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8
The other day my fh and I were talking about colors. I always knew I wanted purple to be one of my wedding colors but wasn’t sure about what shade. I figured I would figure out the specific shade after I picked out my dress. Well we were on Pinterest looking at color themes and he sees ombré dresses and white dresses with black accents ( mostly white) and tells me know he likes these dresses and thinks I would look good in something different like that!


At first I was like no! I never imagined myself in anything but white but only because that’s the norm, and I figured that would be what he would want! But after thinking about it more why not have an open mind and do something nobody I know would be brave enough to do! I also think when he first showed me ombré dresses or white dresses with black accents they weren’t the best quality dresses, after looking more I found two online that I think could be the one!
If you did a non traditional dress how did you get your mom and bridesmaids on board?

    I am doing a white dress with black lace and my FH has no idea, I simply told my mom and bridesmaids that that was the style I was looking for and didnt really give them much wiggle room but they liked the dress so in the end it didnt matter. The store only had the fully white one in so that was what I tried on. Mine with the black lace wont be in until late December.

    My family knew I was open to a pink dress if I could find one I liked, but most blush dresses are quite soft coloured, so it wouldn't have been hugely different from white anyway.

    I am thinking of how nice it could look to have a soft purple dress, and then your bridesmaids in much darker, more vibrant purple?

    This is the one I want but I’m nervous to order it, because my store didn’t have this one in black either. I mean I get why would they. I’m hoping to try it on in white and take a chance and hope I love it.

    Mine showed up early and I love it! I wasnt able to try it on in the store but its absolutely beautiful. I tried on the solid white one in the store and even if the black wasnt an option the white would have still been my top choice.
