Mateo el Feo Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 Our parish has a booklet for engaged couples which includes some sane decency limits for bride's outfits--this way, we could factor in the expectations of the church when shopping for a dress. PS--the Vietnamese dress is really nice!
kateri05 Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 speaking as someone getting married in 2 weeks, its totally possible to find a decently modest yet fashionable wedding dress! the only challenge is that almost all dresses now are strapless (its the fashion), which can still be modest (mine is ) AND pretty.... its just maeks you cold for a january 1st wedding!
Ash Wednesday Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 [quote name='cmotherofpirl' date='Dec 13 2004, 11:04 AM'] I think the priests should hand the bride a list of what is acceptable when she signs up for pre-Cana classes or picks the date for the Church. [/quote] I agree -- it would avoid such calamity. That and have a nice white bolero jacket or elegant wrap on hand. The Queen Anne style is one of my favorites and will be my gown of choice. It's modest and it just plain looks cool.

You know where to find a lot of modest wedding gowns? Companies that cater to Mormons. I've inquired and they've sold dresses to Catholics and other churches, like choir gowns, too. But Mormons are very specific about bridal modesty, which up until now Catholics can't say they've done as good of a job of.
Ash Wednesday Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 [img]http://www.1stcallforweddings.co.uk/showroom/gowns/images/cl-1833.jpg[/img] Something like this with the bolero jacket is cool, too. I want a wedding dress like this one. Remember those gowns Lady Di used to wear that were with bolero jackets? She looked so stunning!

Quietfire Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I want to redo my wedding for my 10th anniversary...In the Church. Definitely love some of those styles. Especially the Queen Anne. I couldnt find anything like that so I went Victorian.
