But my husband's vision for his wedding included a bride in white (or white-ish, in my case, since stark white makes me look ill). He's very feminist otherwise, and I wanted to do that one thing for him because he's kind of has a traditional aesthetic despite being a progressive person.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/off-to-the-ball#post-1871926 Tue, 26 Dec 2017 02:09:08 +0000 abby 1871926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful dress! And accessorized perfectly. </p> <p>As for a bridal gown, it's location, location, location. My many friends from India tell me that the traditional color for brides in their homeland is red. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/off-to-the-ball#post-1871921 Mon, 25 Dec 2017 22:49:41 +0000 Jjsloane 1871921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red is perfect for the YLF ball and those earrings with the open neckline is divine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/off-to-the-ball#post-1871655 Sun, 24 Dec 2017 00:18:15 +0000 jill58 1871655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a dress!

I like the idea of renting a new gown every year.&nbsp;<br />My wedding dress came in both white and in a beautiful blush pink. I wanted the blush pink so badly, but ended up getting it in white. I have always wished I had gone against tradition and gotten the blush pink! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/off-to-the-ball#post-1871500 Sat, 23 Dec 2017 12:51:31 +0000 Bijou 1871500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that dress is stunning.

Our florist approximated the aqua with some kind of green foliage that was almost that color. I forget the name - maybe had the word "ear" in it? The flowers were red roses, because cliche or not, I like those the best. I'm not much of a flower expert, and aside from wanting red roses, I left it all to her. </p> <p><b>Angle, </b>thank you - I think I will! Unfortunately, Rent the Runway doesn't have this dress, but there's plenty of red to choose from. It's in April, so I'll probably reserve something once I have the exact date.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/off-to-the-ball#post-1871197 Fri, 22 Dec 2017 16:00:28 +0000 Angie 1871197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer Fabulous, and I can sooo see you in this look,&nbsp;<b>Christina</b>.

At our wedding the flowers were red, white and blue. I'm not kidding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/off-to-the-ball#post-1871174 Fri, 22 Dec 2017 15:44:14 +0000 Christina F. 1871174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, shucks!</p> <p>I always thought traditional wedding stuff was overrated. I examined each tradition before I decided whether to keep it (feminist gut check). My husband wanted a traditional look in a lot of ways, and of course it was his wedding too... and I was no Bridezilla. I'll get to wear a red dress some other time.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/off-to-the-ball#post-1871023 Fri, 22 Dec 2017 03:21:06 +0000 Suz 1871023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christina, you would look absolutely spellbinding in this!

This is such a gorgeous outfit! Extreme drama!</p> <p>I felt similarly to you about white wedding dresses—this is not something I wanted at all, and unlike you, I didn’t have anybody vetoing me! (My mother is surprisingly non-traditional.)</p> <p>I’m glad you were able to find a dress that everybody loves! That is the best kind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/off-to-the-ball#post-1870991 Fri, 22 Dec 2017 02:44:49 +0000 rachylou 1870991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/off-to-the-ball#post-1870981 Fri, 22 Dec 2017 02:33:48 +0000 Christina F. 1870981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>True story: I wanted my wedding dress to be a red ball gown. My husband to be vetoed me, as did my mom. I couldn’t fight them both. I looked for a very light blue but fell in love with an ivory one.... though the shoes, flowers and lips were red! </p> <p>I actually to a ball every year, I think I have yet to wear red (I usually rent so I wear a new one each year), but if had a lot of money to spare, I’d be knocking on Carolina Herrera’s door! Maybe I’ll try to rent a red one this year, though it probably won’t be this one. </p>
