When I picked out my gown, it was a one stop shopping experience. I did my research ahead of time, found several possible gowns, tried them on, and bought one. I love my gown, I think it is very “bridal” and it makes me feel pretty.

Every once in awhile though I think of the dresses that weren’t. What would my dress look like if I was built like a hanger (you know the kind of woman who looks good wearing anything)? What if money was no object? What if I wasn’t worried about not feeling like a bride on the big day?

In my fantasies my other dress is:

Short. I love the look of a short dress, I think it is so fun and adorable. But, I didn’t go short for a couple reasons: 1. my wedding is in the fall and I didn’t want to be cold and 2. I was worried I wouldn’t feel like a bride (whether or not I would feel this way is debatable).

Slightly Outrageous. This dress is wonderfully unique and breathtaking. Could I pull it off? Questionable. Could I afford it? Laughable : )

Mermaid. Nothing is quite va va va voom like a mermaid gown. (Seriously, check out Miss Cookie - everyone except you Mr. Cookie.) This one is particularly girly and pretty with the lace and light ruffles.

Red. Bold and passionate with a whole lot of wow. Red gowns are definitely stunning, but if were to walk down the aisle in one my family might not have been able to recover.

{ Carolina Herrera 35806 }

Country Bumpkin Chic. I adore this dress. If I were getting married outdoors or a warmer time of year this would be the dress for me. Plus, I could totally rock my cowboy boots in this gown.

What dress would you have chosen if you could have thrown all caution to the wind?
