Unconventional dress

Sarah, on September 8, 2019 at 22:48 Posted in Wedding fashion 0 16
Hello! Am looking for wedding dress ideas a bit off the beaten path; I have no inclination towards a white dress. Suggestions would be appreciated, ideally around Ottawa.

    I love this idea! If i was to do a unconventional dress Id go with the secret boutique. They are on etsy but have a store. They make custom stuff i love!

    Like the idea they’re going for with those dresses, (which are gorgeous!) but I definitely want way off the beaten path and LOTS of colour!! Nice strong colours. 💜

    How off the beaten path we talking? like do you still want it to be a bit bridal? Just kinda funky?

    I've been swooning over the Heartleaf and the Orion dresses by Watters.

    Or are you thinking full colour, way off the beaten path?

    I love non traditional. Just do what makes you happy!
    My dress is blue with stars, just because I like it 😊 I had a hard time at shops, every dress I tried on I just kept saying “it’s so ordinary.”So I wound up buying online. Shops were very helpful with seeing how shapes look and fit on my body, though.

    My friend just graduated from fashion design school. She said she would help me with it.

    I am getting colour added to the bottom of my dress. Some people have asked me if I am sure I want that and not just a white dress. But the colors reflect something that's important to me and my fiance. So I am still getting them done.

    Fair enough! I also saw one that didn't download properly that was all white but had a bright purple gradient at the bottom. It was stunning!

    Oh wow! I love the last one!! And while the crop dresses are stunning, it’s not really my style.

    I’ve always liked the idea of a purple dress; it’s my favourite colour. 💜 But am not sure of the crop top idea. Do you have any examples??

    Have you thought of a bold colour? Or perhaps an unconventional style. Like for example I absolutely adore two piece crop top wedding dresses. I think they are just stunning.

    What about wearing something more along the lines of a grad/prom dress? That way you can still get it all blinged out or as big as you want and not be plain like a BM dress. It would be the same stores a bride would go I would think.
