Big, Fluffy, White Dress?

The younger I get (wink, wink), the more I think about what's really important. If I had it to do all over again, I'm not sure I would do the big, fluffy, costly expensive dress again. I paid hundreds of dollars for it to find its home in a trunk, in its special "keep it preserved" plastic bag.

Perhaps I would where a pant suit so I wouldn't have to worry about moving myself and the dress around. I wouldn't have to worry about people stepping on it or it getting caught and snagged on something.

Maybe I would where a beautiful sun dress so I wouldn't have to worry about the bottom of the dress dragging on concrete, carpet, dance floors and whatever other floors I have to walk on that day.

Perhaps I would just wear a totally different color dress or suit all together! Like pink or purple or blue. Well, maybe not - I'm sort of a natural colors girl. But that might work for you!

My favorite thought - is a white or white and black tea length dress. Now I can really get with that! What are your thoughts? Daring enough to step outside of tradition? I'd like to know.

Most often, gifts shared are jewelry for bridesmaids and watches or cufflinks for groomsmen. Whatever you choose, give it as a gift of love…..
