What was your wedding dress like?

Mine was very 80's. Low cut but that's ok all my big hair covered up most everything else. LOL My bangs were very high, so I guess that brought the eye up.

Wow ! Everyone looks so beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I eloped and wore just a pair of jeans and a t-shirt...... We didn't want anyone to know where we were going....... The whole wedding thing got out of hand with his family.......

You all do look beautiful!
No big wedding here. Just the mayor, my sister, his bother & us. No fancy gown here, but that's OK.

Very pretty everyone! Sara, you definitely have your own style. Very chic.

I always dreamed of a white gown...but alas, we eloped. I got married in a black off the shoulder formal gown. Have to see if I can find a pic. I got black because we were in Vegas and it was all I could find in my price range. *sigh*

Some of you LIW (Laura Ingalls Wilder) buffs may remember that she married in black also. Helps me feel not so wierd LOL

I've posted my picture before, but here it is again. This picture will be 22 years old in a couple weeks.

My dress had buttons down the back, crinolines underneath (six layers!) and suited me at the time. It's not what I would choose now.

ok, here is my dress, but it doesn't show the full-view. i am at my mom's house and i couldn't find a picture that showed the whole thing. i will try to find one when i go home.

  i bought my dress from a second-hand store, but when i tried it on, i knew it was the one. it fit perfectly. it was very simple, but i loved it. (you have to remember too that our wedding day fell on the hottest day of the year. it was june 21st, 1997 and 98*

. it was sooooo hot and humid and the church didn't have AC.)

Mine cost us $60 at a thrift store, but I liked it!!

I had to take a picture of a picture so it's kind of fuzzie....

This pic is not too clear, (picture of a picture). I just loved my veil. It was like a headband of beads with ruffle-y netting cascading down the back.

The dress was very modest with big shoulders and lots of beads. I love the cutout on the train.

Two young kids in love, lol.

Y'all were such beautiful brides. Each of you are just glowing in your wedding photos. Thank you so much for sharing them with us.

My first wedding, I was 18 and wore a long white gown with a train, with lots of lace and a beautiful veil with real flowers woven through the headpiece. It was lovely.

My wedding to DH (the best and the last one ever for me

) was a small afternoon wedding held at the district judges office with just my parents, my sister and my kids and DH's cousin attending. I wore a long denim dress with birdhouses and butterflies appliqued onto it and a white shirt underneath and DH wore jeans and a nice western shirt and boots and a cowboy hat.
