I thought this might be fun since the original wedding dress thread was such a hit. If you guys hate it, I can change the thread to a GIF party
Anywho, since a lot of us got married 5+ years ago and trends change so much, pick a wedding dress that you'd wear if you got married (or did a vow renewal) today! The best part is that price doesn't matter
No particular brand in mind, but I would do the huge princess dress. Go big or go home I did a fitted dress for mine. I think the big poof wouldn’t have worked with my venue though.
@silverhope wearing a big ball gown is so fun! I tried on a few when I was shopping, but, like you, they didn't work with my venue. I had to lug my dress as a carry-on when we flew to Jamaica, so I can't imagine doing that with a giant ball gown
@varimama that's amazing! I wish I'd felt that way about my dress. Although I'm a notorious overthinker and overshopper, so I'm always painfully aware that there might just be a better option out there lol.
I literally have a Pinterest board called "You Already Found Your Dress" that is filled with beautiful wedding dresses not my own lol so let's see which I'd go for today... I think this one?
@stassischroeder I actually ordered mine online and had it custom made how I wanted it. I had a backup at a bridal store that wasn’t perfect but was ok in case I ended up with a terrible dress that didn’t fit or look like I was expecting from correspondences with the seamstress. Everyone I told thought I was crazy and were expecting something awful like you see from Chinese knockoffs. She did amazing though.

DITTO. I'm the dork who could watch SYTTD all day.
Pretty much ANY dress from Grace Loves Lace. I’m obsessed. And sad that I didn’t know about them before I got married. Vow renewal for sure. On a beach.
I am being serious when I say that even if I picked a white dress from Walmart I would have looked better than my wedding in Oct 2011! My husband is completely anti-romantic, we got married at the local courthouse (my second marriage at a courthouse, the first at least I wore a dress). I won't say what I wore but yikes so glad that there are no pictures to remind me.
@miss.sally Ooooooh I LOVE that! Also, I'd never heard of Grace Loves Lace, so now I'm browsing the website drooling over the dresses ETA have you ever looked at Claire Pettibone's dresses? I think they'd be right up your alley!
@wolfcub2020 all the more reason to pick a "new" dress for this thread
@stassischroeder omg DROOLING over those dresses. I just want one to wear around. If they weren’t so dang expensive it would be fun for a maternity shoot.
I didn't snoop around for too long, but this was one of the dresses I had saved from when we were getting married. I love the soft, elegant, lacey, bohemian style of wedding dresses. They feel so romantic and beautiful, but I always felt like I just can't pull off the look.
Re: GTKY - Pick a NEW wedding dress!
Here are my two picks - I had to pick one ballgown and one mermaid. Both Hayley Paige.
