If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring? Wedding season!! It’s summer and weddings are in full bloom. In the months to come if you’re not a bride yourself chances are you are attending a wedding – maybe your even secretly (or not so) hoping to become one next year.
More and more brides are opting out of the idea of walking down the aisle in the “traditional” white wedding dress, choosing ones in various lengths and colors. I’ve put together a list of not-so-traditional dresses for those brides yearning to infuse a little more of their personality into that special dress worn once in a life time (one hopes).
Not only are these dresses unique and beautiful they are a God send to brides on a budget. They are every bit as special as dresses costing thousands more, and can still make her feel like one-in-a million!! Which is just as it should be!!
