So...when I began my wedding planning, I wanted a wedding that was no fuss and just a fun day for everyone. That being said, we found a venue and hope to have both the ceremony and reception outside. We wanted to have food that everyone would love and that's not the usually fish, chix, prime rib, so we are having a well-know BBQ place cater. We are getting real utensils, setting the picnic tables nicely with linens, burlap runners, etc. I guess you can say I'm going for a rustic look overall. Anyway, I had originally been looking for a taffeta or chiffon, light, airy, flowy dress. Flower in the hair, no veil. Well when I went to actually try them on, I found that overall, that style did nothing for me, just sort of "hung" on my body. I ended up trying on a a full lace and bead, trumpet style dress with a chapel train, in ivory. Not at all what I expected, but it fit me like a glove and really made me feel like a bride! Now, I'm having second thoughts because it doesn't really "fit" the outdoorsy, relaxed theme. The lace makes it great for a garden/outdoor wedding, but is it just too much for the day? My husband to be is wearing a khaki suit with a tie, I was hoping attendants would show up in sun dresses and khakis and dress shirts for the guys (ideally). Here is the link:
