Hi, I've never done this before haha. But, I'm getting married Dec. 31, 2011. And I always wanted a big princess gown, like most girls, but now that I actually started planning I opted for something completely different. I bought a beautiful all lace mermaid gown with 3/4 sleeves. Reason being, several of my friends got married this year and they all wore princess, full skirt, strapless dresses, and frankly, they all looked alike. I wanted to be different, to stand out and do something that no one expects. What does everyone think of wedding dresses with sleeves? No I'm not copying Kate Middleton, although in the days when I wanted a princess gown I wanted Grace Kelly's. My dress is alot more simple then most and I just hope that people see me as a bride, ya know? I guess I'm just a nervous bride like everyone else, but any imput you might have will be greatly appreciated!
