So ladies just needing a little pep talk here! I am a second time bride and my first marriage ended horribly so I tend to freak out about the whole wedding thing from time to time so bear with me. I have been engaged for almost 10 months... and I haven't tried on ANY dresses yet. We're having a really long engagement (our date is 12/6/2010) but my mom is wanting to go try on wedding dresses on Monday. The first time around I had a huge wedding (350 guests attended), the big white dress and the whole deal. The idea of doing that again makes me feel like vomiting so we're having a simple casual escape wedding... but the idea of putting on a wedding dress still terrifies me. Has anyone else felt this way? Plus I want to get a dress I love still but don't want to be considered tacky since it's my second time around. DF has never been married so I still want to look stunning for him. I have looked online at some dresses that are more "destination weddingish" but what if they don't look good on me? Also what if ivory doesn't look good on my skin tone- is it too tacky to wear white again? I don't plan on wearing a veil or tiarra even... just a few flowers in my hair. What is considered acceptable attire for an encore bride now?
