To think brides often get their dress wrong?

[FreeMantle]

I have always thought this actually but no one else seems to have noticed.
My lovely friends, who pride themselves on dressing very well, seem to chose a dress that doesn't suit them at all. Skinny ones go for the tightest column dress ,so they look like beans. My large busted ones are falling out of massive strapless meringues.
The latest is my size 8/10 cousin who without an inch of fat, has wide hips. So of course she's gone for a full on strapless mermaid. Making her shape look totally out of proportion.
Obviously she'll be beautiful as a bride but why that dress?
I am now looking for one for myself . Despite being short and athletic everyone seems to love a huge ivory fluffy tulle princess type dress on me. I look like a dumpy fungus. It's thin straps and tight bodice totally emphasise my lack of top half. And yes, I'm tempted.

Not ironic or sarcastic. I was a short, scrawny, bespectacled bride in a dress that made me happy, surrounded by friends and family that make me remember that day with complete joy 35 years later.
Why be so nasty about brides’ choices on their wedding day?

What Skatingfastonthinice said.
This thread is mean and depressing. Makes me hope people weren't thinking these kind of thoughts at my wedding, a day when I felt beautiful.

Unless we all go to weddings in blindfolds we will see what the bride is wearing and if it is fantastic we will see that and if it isn't we will see that. The bride I mentioned many pages ago was a K cup and wearing a strapless dress that just about covered her nipples. I swear there was a collective relaxation every time she hoiked it up. It wasn't being nasty, I don't think any of us wanted her to be humiliated by her dress suddenly passing the critical point and falling to her waist.

This thread has ruined Say Yes To The Dress for me.

Nope.....read through it all and still haven't worked out why it's your business what other people choose to wear.

Thankfully, I am presuming that the soon-to-be-spouses of these appalling brides can see past the fact that someone somewhere thinks his/her bride is fat/plain/scrawny/a tart and loves her anyway.

I think most women look great in strapless wedding dresses. I also thought Kate Middleton could've had a much nicer dress. Clearly I have unusual opinions about wedding dresses!
