A Long Black Dress...

Yes, I am aware that it's been awhile. But that's okay, I think. I moved to Utah to live with my sister and her family before I head up to school in January. It's amazing out here. I've never really lived in the mountains before, and they are so beautiful. My mom would say that they're just big hunks of rock, but I'm amazed by them everyday. 

My thoughts lately have been filled with wedding ideas. (No, I'm not engaged, and as far as I know, a wedding is still years away.) But sometimes a girl can't help it. especially not with a site like Pinterest around. :) But I saw this beautiful pale blue wedding dress the other day, inspired by Disney's Cinderella, and it got me thinking. "It would be really cool to have a colored wedding dress."

I'm not talking Ivory, or Blush. I'm not a big fan of wearing pink, in any shade. But I think I could totally pull off a blue dress. After pondering this for a while, I started thinking about different colored dresses, so I Googled pictures of colored wedding dresses, and came up with another idea. What if I reversed what colors the bride and groom wear? The bride could wear a black wedding dress, and the groom could wear a white suit. For example:


Totally untraditional, but still classy and elegant. I think I could totally pull it off. I mean, red hair, pale skin? heck yes, I look fantastic in black. But I'm pretty sure my family would all think I'm a little nuts. And seeing as I'm LDS, I'm pretty sure that I would be the first one ever to choose such a different color for a wedding dress. But at the same time, I think it would be so different and unique, and so me that it would actually work. I would definitely have to talk it over with whoever I marry, but until then it's fun to imagine.

If anyone has thoughts or ideas, please do share them. I'm curious to see what you think. :)
