Wedding Colors/Theme

[IrishLake]

I'm tired of seeing BRIDES tugging up the front of their strapless gowns, not to mention the hundreds of bridesmaids put through strapless horror, myself included. There is nothing "strapless" that goes with natural DD's. Get the thing tight enough to keep the girls up, and then you can't breath or eat all night. Hell, that goes for spaghetti straps too. I hope that when my siblings get married, they don't ask me to be in the bridal party.

I'ma big fan of the "here's the color for the dresses, pick a style that looks good on you in that color" brides. Especially with places that have dresses in all styles made from the same fabric...what's the difference if one looks good in a strapless and another in a one-shoulder and another in a sweetheart? Wouldn't you rather they all look good than cookie cutter?

You look fabulous always!

I think proper fit and foundation is the key here.

Agreed; I'm in the same boat as Mel, and I've made fast friends with my tailor. I also think it's important to wear the right size/shape undergarments to your fitting. But that's another thread....

There is no reason a bride should ever be tugging on her dress if it has been fitted correctly. Most of them have enough boning to hold them up all by themselves.

Now, some of those flimsy bridesmaid dresses....that's another matter.
