The big day

Yesterday my cousin was telling the whole family about this wedding she had gone to. She was talking about it being in a garden with a beautiful forest surrounding the ceremony. I instantly thought of Coco Rocha’s wedding, that beautiful ceremony in an English castle and fairy tale like proportions. Who wouldn’t want a wedding like that? It’s true that some women don’t grow up anymore thinking about their weddings as the big day of their lives. But I think it keeps being an important ritual for every woman. We love organizing parties and we love looking good. Why wouldn’t we care about a day that represents who we are and who we will become along with our other half?
I think it’s exciting thinking about a wedding, but there’s nothing like choosing your wedding gown. There are tons to choose, organza, tulle, lace, bustier like, long sleeved, it’s kind of a tricky choice. The key is to find a dress that not only fits your body type and height, but that says something about how you’re feeling and who you are.

Seeing this spread for Singapore Brides Fashion featuring Julia Valimaki, Sasha Luss and Zivile Cibaite, photographed by Zhang Jingna made me think of the perfect dress. If I had to choose one, I would go for the first dress in the first image, the oversized ruffle gown. What would your dream wedding dress look like?
