Traditional gown vs unconventional dress

Honestly I was initially planning on going with an unconventional dress, as it is more “me” than a wedding dress. BUT then I fell in love with a designer gown. I would never expect me to wear a ball gown and here I am! However it is really modern, so still feels like “me”.

Of course alwsys embrace your personality and don’t forget it's YOUR special day, but also never say never

I think this is a great idea! If this is what makes you feel great and makes you happy than all the better!

Go for non-traditional if that's what makes you happy! Your wedding day should all be about doing what makes you feel your absolute best, not sticking with tradition. Tradition has been overlooked so many times already in weddings, and I absolutely love color dresses, I think it's a great way to express yourself. Go for it!

I didn’t feel like myself in the white dresses I tried on, so ordered a rose quartz tulle skirt and am having an off-white top made by a local designer/seamstress. I’m excited to wear it. Do what makes you feel good!

I'm not going untraditional, but I love that you are doing something that feels right for you. I think doing something bold or different really shows someone's personality, and it sounds like you and your fiance have decided on something that works for both of you! Happy dress shopping

I'm forgoing the traditional white. This is my gown

I'm looking at long white dresses that look bridal, but not super sequined and poofy/ballgown-y. Then I hope to be able to shorten the dress to knee length after the wedding so I can wear it again sometime. So still traditional enough, but versatile too.
