"The fashion side of every issue"



Soo the wife-to-be came home for a visit again. But this time, all we talked about was the ceremony and all of its details. Eventually, the dress talk came.
She said she wanted something classy, simple, chic and beautiful. Said she wasn’t going for the typical strapless and that she loved lace. And something that showed her shoulders.
She asked us to see in magazines and on the internet pictures of dresses we liked, so if she liked our picks she would then send the picture to her aunt, who is a seamstress and get it done cheap.
Through my search, I found some pretty awesome dresses. None that fit her style, though. The first one is a Givenchy, and the second one, a Chanel.
I have a vision for each. The Chanel would be perfect for a traditional, romantic and luxurious ceremony in the beach. Worn with flat black sandals, a relaxed updo, simple makeup, no veil and a gorgeous bouquet of black orquids. Exquisite.
The Givenchy vision is entirely the opposite. It fits in an enormous, high profile ceremony in the city. I would remove the pockets and wear them with sky-high embroidered white stilettos. Miles long veil. Relaxed, pretty updo and makeup to soften the entire look. A beautiful ring with emeralds and matching earrings. And to finish, a big, full bouquet of red roses. Traffic-stopping, impressively beautiful outfit to wear in your wedding; don’t you think?
Honestly, if I had to pick, I have no idea which would be better. I love them both. They are so different and therefore complement each other. Yet so perfect in their own ways. I guess it would all depend in my life at the moment. And the kind of guy I’m marrying.
