Wedding Dresses.

Every girl (well almost every girl) dreams of the dress she will wear on the day she gets married.

Having had several friends who have gotten married recently, an more who are going to be getting married and my own personal quest for the "perfect" dress has led me to the conclusion that Brides today are factory made and boring.

Sure there are variations within the wedding dress world, color, embelishiments, et cetera, but when you get down to it most dresses are the same. Starpless. Spaghetti strap, cap sleeved, or if your lucky you might be able to find a jacket with sleeves that just isn't what you are looking for.

Or if it does come with sleeves to make it "temple" ready, they are plain and boring and look like they are stuck in the ninties. (sorry LDS girls's times like these I'm very glad I"m not mormon)

It just strikes me as odd, that girls clamour and sigh and pine for that one of a kind dress and one of a kind wedding and then end up buying something, that while no doubt perfect for them and looks great et cetera, no less than 20 people have probably worn the exact same dress.

And then for those that want to do a specific influence on their dresses, but still have a classy wedding are left up a creek with out a paddle as we say in the South. Say a couple or bride is really into the Southern Belle, or Old Victorian, Celtic, French, Nautical theme or what not. With out having a ridiculous "themed wedding" where you look like crazies playin dress up, (think a Star Trek fan's wedding *shudders *) it's virtually impossible to find a dress to fit what you want and still have it seem like a real wedding, not a reenactment piece.
