Non traditional wedding gown yes or no?

Monique, on July 14, 2019 at 6:18 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 30
Hi! I want to wear a pink(like a dark blush) lace dress for my wedding day in December. The dress is not a wedding gown but I want to pair it with a cathedral pink veil. My kids hate the idea and think I will regret it. I felt is was stunning. What do you do when others dont like your choice in attire?

    Are they wearing it? If not, it’s not their decision. That’s why I didn’t share my dress with anyone except my mom and I would have been fine choosing a dress that she wasn’t in love with.

    I say go for whatever makes you happy! It's not about anyone else wearing the dress!

    Girl if you don't put on your Pink dress and rock it! They can decide what the bride wears when it's their day.

    Do it! My dress is pink too(and pink hair), you’re not wearing something obscene. Wear what you’ll look back on and remember fondly.

    Yes do it! You should feel happy comfy an glam or whatever your buzz word for when you feel like hot stuff. Don’t let the traditional things about wedding get to you. Sometimes I myself have to step back an be like wait hold up I don’t want to be in a neat little box. Now some do some don’t.

    If this helps you I’m considering something like this but a bit different

    Honestly if you love the dress and feel beautiful in it that is all that matters! Nobody but the bride gets to pick what she wears.
    Besides it's not like you're naked!

    It’s your choice so do what you want to do! I will say I am sticking to a tradition so I don’t regret it in the future... but it’s family related... my attire is ALL ME!! You do YOU!!

    Hey Monique!! Personally, I love colored gowns on brides and think a pink veil will look spectacular! As long as you feel confident and amazing in your dress, that it all that matters!!

    Will your veil be the same color as your dress, or are you going for a dark pink?
