When my girlfriend proposed to me last year , I was thrilled. I accept it's not necessarily a traditional method of doing this, but we've rarely been a normal couple. She was the one who asked me on a date to begin with, way back in high school after we'd known each other in our study hall session. More recently, shortly after I'd gotten engaged and she'd put me down at her favorite park in town, she amazed me by mentioning that a lot of people make substantial savings on their weddings by seeking out wholesale wedding dresses in place of getting them from those expensive bridal stores.

Then she began to discuss all the existing styles of dresses, and the ones that are most people's favorites now. She outlined five main designs, and said that regardless of which one we thought was good, wholesale wedding dresses would certainly be available for them, and were what she desired to find. One design was known as the A-line, or Princess style, and was a strapless style which draws attention to the chest and then goes down into a relatively traditional design of dress, which obscures the feet but doesn't expand out. There's also the Empire style, which had no arms but which does wrap around the woman's neck, creating sort of two triangles in the chest area. This type hides the feet too, but also doesn't poof too much.

These styles, she said, are basically combinations of old-fashioned designs with modern fashion. But even more new ones, she said, are offered as wholesale wedding dresses. One that she mentioned she appreciated which is newer was the “Column” style, which looks kind of like how it sounds it would. It's basically straight up and down without any flaring at all, which makes you look like an ancient Ioric column if you stand straight, hence its name. Besides that, there are as well more traditional dresses. One of these is the ballroom style, which is made like designs women wore in the 1800s in high society. Lots of big flaring dress which goes out in a few feet in extreme examples. The last design she told me about is the “mermaid” style, which is strapless like the Princess but which flares out a lot at the bottom, but which is as well tucked in around the knee area, which has the effect of making you look just a bit like you have fins instead of feet.

All this was a bit much for me to digest, as I've not really been all that much into dresses, but she told me it didn't affect anything because she'd the other day made up her mind that she was going to wear the mermaid style. I'm not stupid enough to fight with her, because she's pretty aggressive, so I said “Sure honey, whichever you choose is fine with me.” She was glad I didn't argue and pointed out to me that we would save a bunch of cash by using wholesale wedding dresses as opposed to using them from those fashionable tailors. We could use that cash for other aspects of the wedding, and put away some dollarsinstead for our new lifestyle as man and wife.
