Bride – Mildred Lee Productions

I debated whether or not I wanted to talk about Bridal Fashion Week. On one hand, I love looking at wedding gowns and I have a strong hunch, by the sheer amount of wedding boards on Pinterest, that I am not the only one. On the other hand, for me personally, I no longer have the desire to march down an aisle, donned in a princessy white dress, in front of all my family and friends. I planned that wedding already and it didn’t happen, and I don’t want to plan it again. The older I get, the more I am leaning towards eloping and getting married on a beach, at city hall, or in the desert. And then, at a later date, throwing a small reception for our family and friends at a restaurant. But, that’s just me. So many girls dream of their wedding day from childhood and throughout adulthood. They meticulously stash articles and photos away and keep ideas locked away in their brains. They scrimp and save for their big, magical day and don’t let naysayers and negative Nancys bring them down. This post is for those lovely ladies. After looking through the Spring 2014 and Fall 2014 bridal runway shows, I have gathered the best looks for three types of brides: the Traditionalist, the Romantic, and the Modern.
