    Hello! No experience with this website, but just wanted to say hi, and what a unique dress that is! Not my style, but I do like it! I am just curious why you think white dresses are a fake tradition. I can see thinking that they're overdone, but there really is a history behind them.

    [QUOTE] I've never wanted a white gown (it's so overdone, and such a fake "tradition") and this one is perfect!

    FYI, the best way to get advice on an internet chat board probably isn't by insulting the choices of most of the commenters in your first post.

    I was thinking the same thing. I guess you probably didn't mean it that way, but gotta think through what you say when asking for advice.

    I was thinking the exact same thing ladies and almost posted over the weekend. So you are basiccally saying that all of our weddings are overdone and we are having a fake tradition of a white dress. Then you ask us for advice?

    So yeah, good luck with that.

    If you think this board is overly sensitive, just wait until you post on the national boards.  Maybe you should work on the way that you phrase things.  It's not appropriate to state that "it's so overdone and a "fake" tradition" when at least 90% of American brides do wear white.  You are insulting everyone who chooses to wear white.  Perhaps you should have just stated that you don't wish to wear white without adding the comment behind it.  

    Also, maybe you should redefine your definition of the word tradition.  For me, I'm the fourth generation in my family to wear white, so that means that it is in fact a tradition, not a "tradition".

    P.S. That dress is ridiculous. Yep, I said it. It reminds me of the dress from Beauty and the Beast.
