Not the white dress that immediately comes to mind

Happy V-day, everybody! What I’d like to know is why they scheduled what is ostensibly the lovingest day of the year on one of the coldest days of the year…seriously, every time The Beard puts his hands on my, I scream, and I don’t mean that in a good way!

Your own Never teh Bride is seriously in need of some summertime. All I can think about is the sun in my hair and the hot sand between my toes, which is nice considering that we keep the thermostat at 60 because gas prices are so high. Thank goodness for imagination.

What I’m imagining right now is a casual, warm weather, beachy sort of wedding that involves no shoes and plenty of sunblock. For this, we can ditch the gowns and head straight to the pretty white dresses.

Lovely — I feel warmer already just looking at them! Of course, because of the small pictures the wonderful details aren’t immediately apparent, so I recommend heading over to Bluefly where you can embiggen the snapshots of each dress, thereby banishing winter’s chill for another day.

    Every one of these is perfect for a small, informal, outdoor wedding. So pretty.

    LOVE these. Esp. 1 and 2. These are dresses that call for screamingly English wide-brimmed hats.

    I love the term “embiggen!”

    Eep, I forgot to mention my own favorite, which happens to be the dress in the upper left-hand corner.

    i love these dresses, but they need some ribbons or something to decorate them.

    I love that trends are changing and brides can choose to wear the types of things that fit their style, and not what “traditions” tell them they must wear. Love the upper left two, but all would be great for that certain event!
