I haven't talked about wedding gowns yet, and I should. It's a huge concern and one that can define the ceremony and even the bride herself.

So please. Please don't walk down the aisle in this little number:

Why be a blushing, glowing bride when you can instead look listless, boneless, and "shredd-alicious." Sigh. I just don't get it. Who would design this? Who would wear it? An heiress of a paper-shredding empire? Someone who likes pretty, pretty packing material?

This is especially heinous when you think about how many gorgeous gowns are out there, for each and every budget, style and body shape. So get out there and get to trying them all on. Give yourself plenty of time to find the right dress for you, both with your online research and with your real-life shopping.

Not only because it's hard to find that ultimately perfect dress but because its probably the most exciting part of your wedding planning. So drag it out! I've done a little research for you, and this is a great article to read before you start looking. Happy Shopping!
