Q. Was he involved in generating ideas, looking at wedding dresses/wedding party attire, cakes, venues, decorations/themes, invitations, etc?
I am planning a fall outdoor wedding all by myself and my groom hasn't really showed any interest at all in helping me pick out things. He doesn't even seem excited. Is this normal? Are weddings supposed to be a "bride thing"?

A. My fiance is the same way, I know he is excited to be getting married but I am sure basically every aspect of the wedding will be a surprise to him because he just isn't worried about the planning, I think he just assumes it happens.
He has picked the colours and says he wants a black suit,preferably a gold ring and would like it if my hair was down and curly, We got engaged last May, and are getting married this July but I am pretty sure that is all he has decided

Is it normal to look up wedding pictures when your a teenager?
Q. I am relatively young. Lately, I have found that I like looking up wedding pictures, like wedding dresses, wedding cakes and bridesmaids dresses. It's not like I want to get married right now or anything, I don't know why but I love to up stuff like that. Is that weird?
A. its totally normal, as long as you arent making decisions becasue you think it will bring you a wedding faster (ex trying to have a baby to trap a boy lol) it doesnt sound like you are doing that so i think you are okay. i've always loved weddings, it just means people like us are excited about our future! avoid telling boys your age about that though, they might not understand, your friends who are girls might be just as excited as you though!
and @Phillip, really? a 600$ dress? first, you can't buy happiness, just becasue a man will spend money on something doesnt mean he is worthy. and 600$??? again, you can't buy happiness, but if youre going to make that your standard, go for a 6 thousand dollar dress! lol

should i order my wedding dress on my first shopping trip?
Q. i am going shopping next week to several shops for my wedding dress - wedding is in july. if i see "the dress" should i order it there and then, or wait and have a bit of a think?
A. You should have a bit of a think. Perhaps they can put it away for a couple weeks so that you can make your decision? Either way, definitely go shopping a few times before you pick one cause who knows what you'll find later!
What do you think choose a prom dress as wedding dress?
Q. My friend wants to choose a prom dress to be her wedding dress, what do you think about it ?She wants to buy a dress like wedding dress but is at a prom dress price
A. it's your wedding. whatever you feel comfortable and beautiful in is the right answer for a wedding dress. There are many beautiful "prom" dresses out there. Don't let the words "prom" or "wedding gown" influence your decision. they are just labels. You pick the right for you. Whatever makes you feel like a princess and gives you that "this is the one" feeling is the right decision. Have fun looking and trying them on. It's the best part about planning a wedding. good luck and congratulations!!!!! I hope you have a great life together. Best wishes to you both.
My prom dress was a bridesmaids dress so there is no reason that a wedding dress can't be a prom dress. Just choose the style that you LOVE.
You can check out the dresses on sale at milanoo.com because they have gowns from $100 and up and some of their bridesmaid dresses come in white as well. Check out department stores too. If you can wait til closer to your wedding (which cuts it close to having enough time to alter, etc) you can get some good selections for prom season.

When should I start looking for my wedding dress?
Q. I'm getting married May 2, 2009. When would be a good time to start looking, shopping, and buying my wedding dress? The wedding date is a little over 7 months away. Should I start now?
A. Absolutely you should start now, if you want to have the best selection of gowns available to you to order. I'm a bridal consultant, and have waited up to 8 months for a special ordered dress to arrive in my store in the past. You have to remember, if you want a particular dress in a particular color and particular size, and the designer doesn't have one already in production, they will have to make it for you. You will also need to allow time for alterations, at the very least, most gowns need to be hemmed. If there's trim on the hem, the dress is hemmed by detaching the skirt from the bodice, taking the fabric up at the waistline, and then re-attaching the skirt. Make appointments with bridal salons, and start looking.
When you go to look, some suggestions I give my brides to be are:
1. Know roughly your price range. I don't want to bring you out a $5000 gown when all you can spend is $1000. Also, plan on alterations and accessories as well.
2. Know roughly what you're looking for, and have an idea of how formal your wedding will be. It really helps the consultant if you can bring in pictures of what you like (and don't like). Just print them from the internet or cut them out of bridal magazines. I can tell usually by looking at a woman what style of dress will be most flattering to her.
edit: But don't be afraid to try on a dress the consultant brings you. I've had more brides buy the dress that they think looks awful on the hanger, but when they put it on, they know it's it. Remember, those of us who sell these dresses have been doing it for awhile, we know bodies, we know how to dress them, and we can get a good sense of what will look good on you rather quickly.
3. Wear a strapless bra. If you need control in the tummy area, Spanx are wonderful as well. The closer you can see what the dress will really look like on you, the better you're able to judge if it's THE dress or not. So wear the undergarments that you plan on wearing under the dress. You might have to make adjustments to them, depending on the style of your dress, but if you already know you're going to need something to hold in your tummy, you might as well be wearing it. If you know you're going to wear a particular shoe (ballet flats/stilletto heels) then have them with you as well.
4. Don't bring too many friends for opinions, this is very much a case where too many cooks can spoil the soup. The more opinions you have, the harder it will be to come to a concencus. I love it when a bride brings in her mother and maid of honor, and that's it.
5. Check with the salon first, but most will allow you to bring a digital camera so that you can have someone take pictures of you in the dresses. Sometimes it's easier to make a decision this way.
Good luck on finding your dress!
