on magazines and bridesmaids dresses. December 12, 2007

I have to admit, I love a good magazine.  I subscribe to about six, and often buy more throughout the year.  I have only bought one wedding magazine so far — the Martha Stewart one.  Why?  They just look so…saccharine.  Pink fluffly clouds and little blue bridesmaids all in a row.  And speaking of that, seriously?  How can there still be so many ugly bridesmaid dresses out there?

 For example, I googled “bridesmaid dresses” and clicked on the Macy’s link.  The first page included the likes of this:

and this:

Um, yuck?  My friends would disown me if I said, “Hey guys, how about I turn you into a shiny blue puffball for my wedding?  With shiny blue flowers!”  No?  “Well, how ’bout we revisit the Dynasty years with a little see through top?”

bm3

“A Christmas tree ornament?”

No, huh?

bm4

“A lumpy stick of bubble yum?”

Le sigh.

 I am a planner, an obsesser, a lover of order and control.  So, in an attempt to keep myself from going mad in this crazy planning stage, I’ve created This!  A place to keep notes, pictures, ideas…

 on with the journey!
