There are thousands of different wedding dress designs. Most of them will make brides look spectacular on their wedding day, and give people something wondrous to remember. Every once in awhile, though, there’s a wedding dress design or idea that, well someone should have thought more about before they put it on, or at least before they decided to wear it outside of the house.
Here are some things that, hopefully, you don’t want as a part of your wedding dress ensemble.
1. Too much cleavage. This seems to be more and more common, and frankly it needs to take a step back to normalcy. True, the adage says if you’ve got it, flaunt it, but when it comes to your wedding dress, everyone is already going to be looking at you on your wedding day, so why take chances that most guys will be hoping to see in falling out of your dress?
2. Pasties. Pasties aren’t a great wedding dress idea. Where this fashion idea came from as it pertains to wedding dresses is beyond me, but even if there aren’t any children at the wedding, this doesn’t seem like the most appropriate time to be exposing yourself to the public.
3. Too much skin. Some wedding dresses remind us of some of the styles young girls are wearing at proms these days; don’t any of these kids have parents? Even if you have a great body, you’re not auditioning to be a fashion model or a stripper. An exposed back in a wedding dress is sexy; an exposed stomach is tacky.
4. Multi-colored patterns. I haven’t seen a lot of these, but there are a few on the market. Being colorful is one thing; reminding people of a tye-tied T-shirt is another. It takes the experience of a splash of color for your wedding ensemble and turns it into a LSD drug trip that everyone at your wedding lives with you.
5. How short is too short? That’s a tough one to answer, but I would assume that if you don’t have to bend over for people to see what’s underneath, it’s too short. Short wedding dresses may sometimes come as high as mid-thigh, but not every bride can pull that off. Wear one any shorter and your grandmother might faint.
6. Flip flops. We all can understand that wedding shoes might not always be as comfortable as other shoes, but do you really want to put on a $1,500 dress and then wear flip flops under it? Everyone will know you’re wearing them, even if they’re never seen (and they will be seen) because flip flops make that distinctive noise that everyone knows. More woman are moving to a shoe that emulates the flip flop, and if you really want your feet exposed, at least go with something that has some style to it.
Please, please, don’t do any of the above. If you do, you can bet that pretty soon your image will be on the internet, circling the globe with an unflattering byline.
