Say "No" to the Dress
On the television show, "Say 'Yes' to the Dress," brides travel to a fashionable salon in New York City to choose a gorgeous and flattering one-of-a-kind gown - one that makes the bride feel like a princess on her special day. But is there ever a time to say "no" to the dress? Oh, yes.
Not all designers desire to create beautiful and flattering gowns. Some choose instead to focus on the shock value of a bride walking down the aisle in a dress that reveals more than what may be considered tasteful. Consider, for example, the dress on the right with its see-thru midriff. It looks as if it more appropriately belongs in a lingerie shop, not a bridal salon. Not only is hubby getting a peek at what is to come, but so are all the men on the guest list.
Or consider this gown on the left; elegant, but not really appropriate for a wedding. Be very careful on the dance floor.
The gown, below on the right, is perhaps the ultimate in tacky. Makes you wonder what the "bride" does for a living.
Does anyone really purchase these gowns? Maybe; maybe not. Though offered by wedding gown designers, these dresses may be better utilized in a play rather than by a bride who wants to make the right impression and fondly remember her wedding day for all the right reasons.
