In searching for wedding dresses, I only have one requirement. My dress cannot be white.
I love the idea of not wearing white for my wedding, but everytime that I tell someone about it, they respond like I've told them that I plan on consuming my fiance after the ceremony. I have my reasons for not wanting to wear white. When I tell people that I don't feel like it would go with the overall theme of the wedding, white makes me look undead (I'm VERY pale), and I don't agree with the ideaology behind the need to wear a white dress, I still get told that I won't feel like a bride.
Just to be clear, I respect every bride's decision to wear whatever she wants on her wedding day, whether it is a white dress or a green jumpsuit. I just would like to know why everyone here chose their attire for their wedding.
Did you go with white or another color? Why did you choose that color? Did you feel any pressure to wear something that wasn't entirely you? What about it makes you feel bridal?
