Dress? I dunno....have a look around online, they make everything from traditional neck to floor dresses to low cut minidresses these days.

Make up and hair...if you want ideas on doing it yourself again, no help...I don't even own make up at this point, and my hair is constantly in a bun. Tip for someone else your going to let do it: only let someone with similiar style/taste do you this favor...otherwise you could very well end up pretty upset.

Shoes and lingerie...if you're going to be on a beach you want flats! I'd say some pretty sandals. Lingerie? Again I'd err on the side of comfort..if it's an informal/beach wedding you don't want to look all stiff and rigid...maybe a super nice matched set?

I saw wonderful dresses at Alfred Angelo, Eden Bridals or Davids Bridal. The prices are not too expensive and the dresses are gorgeous.

I like the knot.com or weddingchannel.com. They have tips for everything from hair to make up and veils... .

my dress is an Alfred Angelo and I wear a 16. They fit lovely and they make me look slim. I was thrilled. It is a spagetti strapped dress.

My sisters best friend found her slip style dress on ebay and it was BEAUTIFUL.

I also found beautiful dresses at Nordstroms...and Macys...

Don't forget, wedding dresses run small, usually 1 or 2 sizes. So, if you wear a street size 4, normally, the dress would need to be a 6 or 8. Same with a 12 or 14, you'd usually need a 16 or 18. All of the manufacturers are different, so be sure to look at the sizing charts to get an accurate fit.

What in the world is up with all the off the shoulder/spaghetti strap/strapless dresses? Kudos to you ladies that can wear them..but I'm top heavy. SO and I are thinking an informal outdoor wedding in my backyard. I've been looking for a suitable dress for a month and nothing is making me happy. It either looks like it's for a granny(an old fashioned, blue haired, cane clutching granny) or doesn't have material on top to hide a decent bra strap. Admittedly I also want a long skirt as I have a rather massive scar down the front of one leg..but still. BLARGH!

Ok, rant done for now.
