I know I am going to have a hard time picking a style! So far I ahve looked at ones with the gather bottoms and loved those and then I pick ot ones that FH says look like nightgowns and he hates...i am 5ft so i have to pick somethng with not a lot of material but how to pick one that is not too big but not too small that it doesnt look like a wedding gown?! Help!

Re: Wedding Gowns
awwwwww..... maybe something a-line.... so it's not a 'slip' per say..... and not overwhelming....
I did some research I thought you might like something like this since you said you like the gathered look..... & it's an 'a-line' like I was talking about....
Ohhh beautiful! Thanks Fal! What site did you find that on?

Go to Davids, try on a few styles and see which ones you like best. You don't have to buy, you can just see what looks best on you!

Re: Wedding Gowns
For MONTHS before i went dress shopping, actually i went 8 months after i got engaged and i CONSTANTLY looked at magazines, sites, girls on here and god knows how many dresses i saw i only liked 1 dress and said i am gonna have the hardest time finding a dress and it will be a long process. Well i went one time, tried on 3 dresses only and bought the 3rd one...the 2nd one was the one dress i mentioned that i liked before going dress shopping...i was undecisive about dress 2 and 3 and then finally realized it was 3. So dont worry you never know what will happen
I say you try A-line dresses. Before i went i thought A-line were alot slimmer type dress, but i was wrong...I went in there and asked to see ball gowns and the lady thought i was crazy, she said i dont think you understand what a REAL ball gown is, she brought one out and i said OH NO forget it and didn't even try it on, its HUUUUGE and was SOOOO heavy, im 5'2 and it was a bit much...What alot of girls consider ballgown is actually a-line. In magazines they say girls 5'4 and under look best in a-line dresses.
Here is my dress, its an a-line so it does have a bit of poofiness but not too much, i think its just right, and also after trying on dresses you will see that they are heavier than you think
08'er crashing hope you dont mind..i too am short 4'11 to be exact. and well i wanted a wedding dress that I COULD WEAR not the dress wearing me... it wasnt hard at all.. just insit you dont want a poofy slip. and the best is to pick an a-line empire waist. i tried on tons of dresses. and loved them all... check out my album. if you have an ?'s just ask.

Re: Wedding Gowns
I love Demetrios' gowns. But like everyone said on here, you really aren't going to know until you try some on. Good Luck!
