Can someone take me wedding dress shopping? Not that I want to help but I just want to get drunk (wasted) in a retail space such as David’s Bridal or the basement of the Anthropologie of walnut and 18th.

The thing about wedding dress shopping is that my only point of reference is prom dress shopping and my prom dress was from the Twilight Breaking Dawn collection so.

Brides on SYTTD: I want a mermaid sweetheart lace sparkle dress under 20k but I hate these 45 dresses with that exact description so I need the designer to personally design something for me.

tried on wedding dresses today and 1) it was weird and fun to see myself like that 2) envisioned myself spilling sauce down the front of every single one of them

After looking into wedding dresses, I am now on the hunt for a place where I can buy a wedding dress *secretly*. Like, a place that just happens to have beautiful white dresses without the wild markup that comes with calling them wedding dresses

When you go to a wedding dress shop with a bride, are you also allowed to try on just one or two dresses asking for me.

You know you look young when you walk into a wedding dress shop and they ask if you're there to look at prom dresses 😅

Look, I love a mermaid bridal gown as much as the next human with impeccable taste, but be warned: In such a dress, you WILL be stuck walking like a penguin.

When I bought my wedding dress a few months ago the store had me ring a little bell. Today I got my braces off and the orthodontist had me hit a little gong. What I'm saying is, this has been my big year for public chiming.

at the wedding dress store the dresses are all "she" and "her" and they have names ok

how do i find a wedding dress that billows in the wind but is also snatched but also isn't like a ballgown but also makes me feel like a frilly cupcake but also is modernly androgynous but is also something i don't have to sew myself I PROMISED I WOULDN'T HURT MYSELF LIKE THAT

a company that just lets you come in and try on wedding dresses when you have no intention of buying one for a long long long time but you still want to get drunk and try on fun dresses

I've decided to follow my dreams and open a wedding dress store. I get to pound vodka and champagne while gabbing with the bride's friends and family as she tries on stock dresses then gaslight the mom into buying the expensive one.

Everyone keeps an old wedding dress they found at the thrift store for ‘just in case’ emergency wedding scenarios, right?

i was at my sisters wedding dress fitting the other day and my mom pointed out two dresses and i said “oh i do not like those” and described why i didn’t like them to later find out the designer of those dresses was in the room with us 💀

I’m going wedding dress shopping this weekend. The boutiques keep asking about what I want and all I’ve got is, “I am 43 and do not want to look like a cupcake. Also, no strapless.” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
