Show Me Your Wedding Dresses!
Hi All
I'm going wedding dress shopping for the very first time on Saturday... and I have NO IDEA what I'm looking for! I've seen loads in magazines and trawled the websites of the shops I'm going to, but I'm no closer to working out what I want.
I think a large part of this is that the dresses are always worn by 6 foot beauties with waistlines the size of my wrist! It's impossible to tell what they look like on anyone who isn't! (I'm only a shorty - 5'1" on a tall day, and 126lbs).
Please Please PLEASE show me your wedding dresses! (Or your wife's dress, I'm not fussy!) It would be so handy to see them on real women, and not just the picture perfect models! I know I'm going to have to try them on and see for myself, but I really need some inspiration!
Thanks

I don't have any wedding pics on this computer right now. But I'll give you some advice. Go to a bridal shop and just try on every single dress that catches your eye. Short, long, sleek, poofy, lacy, beaded, whatever. When I got married I had a picture in my mind of a simple satin dress with just a little volume at the bottom, and a clean shallow V-neck and a high back, no lace or beading. That's what I wanted. What I ended up falling in love with was the polar opposite: off-the shoulder, beading and embroidery all over the bodice, and a full skirt with 13 layers of tulle over a hoop slip. Looking at pictures and having an idea in mind is great, but trying on everything is better.1

Celebrated 3 years in May.
EDIT: I am 5'5", and probably 140-145 in the picture. The dress is by Alfred Angelo, but is at least 5 years old as I bought it at a sample sale in 2008.0 -

My advice is to try loads on - all styles even ones you think you won't like.
I didn't want strapless, laced back, full skirt or a train.
Guess what my dress was?!! All of the above!!
The only thing that I stuck with was no veil!0 -
You don't want to see mine! It was beautiful but heck I got married 23 years ago and styles change. I had the dropped V waist and a bow in the back. LOL.. by the way I am only 5ft tall. When we got married I was 107 pounds. How I miss those days..that is my goal. To fit into that dress on our 25th anniversary in 2 years!!0

I hope this works my sister (bridesmaid) is 5'1 and around 126lbs she tried on several wedding dresses while I was picking out mine and the 3/4 length suited her best cos she was lost in all the rest0 -
