Summary
Since
childhood, women often fantasize about weddings and the beautiful
wedding dresses that brides wear. We like to play dress-up
and pretend it is our wedding day. Our earliest fantasies
involve ourselves, a prince and a wedding dress. The wedding
dress is what captures our attention. We have seen beautiful
weddings on TV and glorious pictures of brides in their wedding
gowns. Perhaps we were flower girls in someone’s wedding.
Regardless of our differences as adult women, we have all
fantasized about our dream wedding dress from childhood.
Choosing
the wedding dress makes all the other decisions pale in comparison.
Once the wedding gown is chosen, the tone of the wedding is
set. If you chose a heavily beaded wedding gown with a cathedral
length train, then you should plan a formal wedding. If your
heart is set on a knee-length dress that shows off your figure,
then you should plan a more informal wedding.
