My bridesmaids wore different dresses last month and I loved it.
Meg was not trying to make anyone feel bad for ANY of the decisions they’ve made, was just compiling a list of things that 20 years from now will collectively point to an era. You shouldn’t worry! To be honest I though it was cute, everyone looked great, and I was happy, not saying I’m trendy.
The actual question is. Maybe one day, Therefore in case I’m lucky a future daughter of mine will look at my wedding photos and say mom, have you always worn redish lipstick? Accordingly the traditional wedding look was NOT working for me.i looked crazy happy and like ME.
I’d marry identical partner, please and thank you, So in case I had to do it all over again.
I’d have a huge, bright bouquet. San Francisco’s city hall for the ceremony. It’s all so 2013, and that’s the point.

Let me be frank.
As long as I know So there’s no such thing as a timeless wedding, I’d stop playing it safe, if I got married now… I’d take more risks. That’s a fact, it’s so dated, consequently early 70s and so awesome. Hell, the dress will be more dramatic and the party will be larger. Despite I guess you can call the long, at my parents’ wedding in 1974, my mom actually looked pretty timeless in the gown my grandmother wore at her 1944 wedding, long, long sleeves pretty dated now. Now pay attention please. What I didn’t understand was that all those ladies were saying, I’d take more risks. That’s where they’ve been right.

Give yourself permission to go big or go back home. Updated to remove the sleeves, at my 2014 wedding, I’ll be wearing that same gown my mother and grandmother wore. Embrace the zeitgeist.
