I can’t stop trying on wedding gowns

December 11, 2009

I’ve been married for almost 2 months and I still love trying on wedding gowns.

They’re just so pretty!

And they have frills.
Lace, buttons and lace covered buttons.
Ruffles, ruching and ruched ruffles.

And some of them are big and soft and princessy!
And some are skin tight, allowing for minimal breathing but maximum curve appeal.

I love them all and I can’t stop trying them on.

Thank God I have a reason. I’m not just another former bride in denial. I’m also a wedding dress model : )

Of the ameature sort of course.
And only on a temporary basis.
And just for the St. Louis Gateway Bridal Show.
But still.
It’s a handy excuse.

I went by the hosting bridal shop, Elegant Brides, last night to browse the racks and make my picks for the show.

Of course, I picked this one first:

It’s kind of the love of my life. And I’ll wear it whenever I have the chance. Include family gatherings, various cookouts and Halloween.

Then I picked these babies:

This one I’m actually wearing in bright white with silver beading. I think in looks like a chandelier…

Oh sweet beauty. This one I LOVE! I would have worn this one for my own wedding…

Love this one too!! So different! And I’m wearing it in a darker ivory. You can’t tell in the photo but it sparkles like you wouldn’t believe! It deserves a rear view too…

It’s a lot easier to choose a wedding gown when you won’t be wearing it for your own wedding! Or for an entire day! It got a little tricky since the dresses won’t be altered, they have to fit just right off the rack. But it was tons and tons of fun to be back in the bridal shop surrounded by all that wedding couture!

I’ll let you know if I trip on the runway.
