What Type of Bride Are You?

January 11th, 2009 @ 1:45 pm by Mrs. Glitter

A few weeks ago, I was Facebook stalking when I noticed one of my friends posted pictures of a recent wedding she had attended. I decided to peruse her pictures as any good Facebook stalker would do. There was my friend, smiling happily with her arm around the beaming bride. And there was the bride in her dress enjoying the day…with her entire cleavage hanging out. We’re not talking about a little peek-a-boo. Her boobs were just sorta chillin’…like maybe they needed their own seat at the reception table.

Surprised as I was (and trying not to judge, but failing miserably), I also realized that every bride has their own style and fashion sense. Often times, the dress inspires the flowers, the groom’s attire, and the ceremony/reception details. So just for fun, I decided to outline some of the style categories for wedding dresses. Which category do you fit most with? Or perhaps your dress is just too fabulous to fit any of these categories… in which case, let me know and I’ll make a new category! :)

Traditional: A-line, off the shoulder, pretty.

Modern: Simple, sleek with a little edge

Romantic: flowing, flowery and impractical (hey, no one said romance was practical!)

Vintage Inspired: halter, delicate details and “must have” hairdo.

My dress Joelle (Maggie Sottero)
can considered traditional with a twist with an asymmetrical waistline :)

The first dress is Alfred Angelo 1148 - a fabulous dress for around $600! It has a corset back and fits like a dream. And Alfred Angelo is nice enough to size their wedding dresses so that they do match your street size (at least mine did). Funny, I didn’t really think of it as traditional - and my mom certainly didn’t. In her mind, no-lace-no-beading-no-crinoline was absolutely not traditional!

Haha when I read the first couple lines of your post, I figured you must be talking about me, but I have no idea where I’d know you from… but yes, my (huge) chest was on display. In all reality, I just couldn’t find a flattering dress that covered everything up, so I embraced the bewbies and went for it - much like a “Marie Antoinette” gown where they’re smashed in and up. But I do still wonder if it was me in the pictures you saw.

I had to check “other” because I’m not 100% sure what my gown is! Different people have said it’s traditional, romantic, and vintage-inspired! Here is a pic:

I chose “other” because I felt like I was a mix between modern & vintage inspired. My dress was modern & sleek, but I had some little vintage details goin’ on.

I’m other because I’m not wearing a white wedding dress. Mine is black with white polka dots and I LOVE it… She’s so much more “me” than any white dress I could find! Plus, our wedding is informal and in the woods, so I went with an above the knee dress so it doesn’t get dirty or stepped on.

@Meghan: Casablanca and Alfred Angelo both have dresses similar to that style.

I can’t seem to put my gown in any of those categories.

Well, I never would have called myself traditional, but I fit right into that first dress… literally!

I voted vintage inspired, but that first dress is high on my wish list, so I guess I’m vintage/traditional. Mainly because I have no desire to be a bride like who you described. I’m a DD cup and have no desire to flash the family.

I love how Vera has her own category. It reminds me of that quote from Bride Wars, “You don’t alter Vera Wang- you alter yourself to fit Vera”. So true!

My dress turned into a cleavage dress, which is certainly not my style. Remember, if you are having alterations done, you won’t know what your dress looks like on top until right before the wedding. Plus, the dress might look fine in a standing straight pose, but change drastically once you start moving around….

As someone with a 36 DD chest, let me assure you that depending on the volume of your cleavage, it can be difficult for breasts NOT to be on display in a gown. Sometimes you just have to embrace what you’ve got and run with it! :)

While I fit squarely into the romantic bride, I’d also like to add “Glam” and “Rebel” as categories.

Can you add another category? My gown is traditional with a modern twist. It has a bit of color (pool) added to it to make it especially mine. It’s an Alfred Angelo with a band and long beaded ribbons in the back!
