Hi all!
I am embarrassed to admit this is my third marriage. They say that the third time's the charm and I am fully in agreement. Because it is my third marriage, I was stuck in the mindset that my wedding gown should be basic and simple. We are getting married in July, so temperature was also a consideration since the ceremony will be held outside on a covered cobblestone patio next to our reception area.
We are only going to have 30 people at most at our wedding. I wanted a shorter dress because I am just under 5 ft tall and did not want the gown to distract from me. I bought a one shouldered empire wasit chiffon type gown. The the top is ruched along the bust and there is a sash that ties directly under making it an empire waist. There are rhinestone rosettes going down the one shoulder.
My family does not care that I am getting married since it is my third marriage and they live out of state. All of my friends are too busy with their own lives and are in the same mindset with my family. So, I do not have anyone to do all the fun planning stuff with. I went to a bridal store, basically found a plain dress, tried it on and bought it. I am not sure I bought the dress because I liked it or because the girl at the store talked me into it.
Now, I am at a loss as to what to do. Any suggestions would be most appreciative. Thanks for listening.
