Probably sounds silly - but I'll put it out there - have any of you walked back down the aisle in the fairytale wedding dress that you wish you were able to wear the first time?

I know, I'm being all girly, but hey - I AM a girl after all - so that's ok right...

Group wedding w/ pictures - but I don't want to buy a dress - is there such a thing as rental?  hmmmmmmm  it gets a girl thinking.

Yes, I'
ve heard of bridal rentals..... but maybe some of our OH family who are recently married night have the size for you......

I know my wedding dress is size 26/28 so it's too big......

I have never walked down once but have heard of places you can rent a dress....I would research online,

There is nothing wrong with being girly it is what I do best!

My wedding dress has been made into a baby quilt for my first great-grandchild (whenever it comes, which hopefully will NOT be anytime soon) and 3 ringbearer pillows for my granddaughters, so yes, it was rather LARGE.

I haven't thought about it but I would definitely be in a much smaller size and and would be able to buy off the rack and not have to customize 'up-sizing' it like I did my original dress. I found the one I loved but it only went so large, so they had to put panels in the sides in order for it to fit. Sad but true.

But hey, go for it - sounds like fun!!

awwww... that's SO cute!

yes, there are such things as rentals.  You can also find some really gorgeous dresses in consignment/thrifts... and in classified ads in the newspaper...  and on ebay and craigslist.

Yes you can rent a wedding dress from All Four Seasons if they are still in business.  They were on Rising Sun Avenue in the Lawncrest Section of Philadelphia.  They also rent prom dresses, maid of honor so forth.

We are celebrating our 10th next April and I have been thinking of doing a reception to celebrate and to renew our vows there so I can wear a tiny wedding dress and he a tiny suit!  I know the smaller sizes are on the $99 racks at the bridal shops so I would go that route.  I was thinking of even trying to find 2!!  One to renew and one to party in!  We shall see though.  I can't start planning on spending that amount of money on a Hall, food and DJ until I can find a job.

Maura,
I want to get married by Elvis. When my life is less hectic I will do that. It's is on my bucket list. Also hubby was size 32 waist and now 36 waist so he will be trying to lose the weight before we walk down the aisle. BTW he has lost 10lbs just being saying the word diet. I hate him but I like being a girl and nothing wrong with being a girly girl. Go for it girl!! Don't forget to invite me. I know your brother does beautiful work.

People comment on my over 100 pound weight loss and attribute it to my WILLpower, but it is my WANTpower: I WANT to be thin and healthy more than anything else!
