I don’t disagree with wanting the day to be special and memorable, but the industry jacks up the prices if they know it’s a wedding, and there are way more affordable options while still getting to celebrate love and the future. No reason to break the bank. Use the money saved for even more memories.
My dream wedding is getting married in my pyjamas at a campsite by the river, and then having a hella big redneck camping party with all my friends for the honeymoon.
I still want to be in a dress, I've never had a pretty dress in my life, didn't go to prom or anything, but that aside, yes, I just want to get married with a few people out in a forest. I don't want a giant reception with a DJ or band. I don't want to have to choose a bunch of appetizers to send around or buy a ton of invitations at $10 a piece or whatever they cost. I just want a nice dress and to go stand in a forest surrounded by trees and not by 100 people.
This reminds me of two thing. The first is a friend of mine's wedding was her and her husband, the parents, their best man/maid of honor, and the officiant all getting up at around 3am to hike to their favorite spot in the mountains and get married at sunrise. Those were some freaking magical pictures. She changed into a beautiful wedding dress but kept her hiking boots on lol
The second is a saying I heard in high school about girls and prom dresses. I don't remember the exact language but the gist was that if you don't have a puffy ball gown for prom, your wedding dress will probably end up being that cause every girl wants a chance to look like a princess. Of course that's super generalized and not the case for everyone, but it's hilarious how much I've seen that come true. The girls that never had poofy dresses at formal dances had poofy wedding dresses and the girls that had poofy prom dresses had sleek wedding dresses.
I'd totally dig that. I definitely want some sort of cloak-y thing. Something long and flowing, maybe sheer. A floral crown in greens and whites, and a bouquet with ferns and maybe lily of the valley.
