Will I Be Able to Say Yes...to a Dress?

I have a confession to make. Its about this whole wedding dress thing.

Its just not me.

Don't get me wrong- I love dressing up! I love shopping! I like feeling pretty!

It is just that everything about a traditional wedding dress makes me uncomfortable.

I don't like how I look in white. Especially head-to-toe white.
I am short and don't really care for long dresses.
Especially puffy white dresses or tight white dresses.
I am really self-conscious about my arms. I always wear a sweater or layers of some sort. I cannot imagine myself in a strapless or sleeveless gown.

I recently went to a traditional Indian wedding and wish I could wear a sari like the bride did at that wedding! I just love this look!



I've thought about wearing a tea-length dress. Here are a couple I really like:



I love the lace!



I've also thought about choosing a non-white dress. I would feel so much prettier in blue or brown dress like this (minus the green hair piece and adding some sleeves):


Or this one:


But Ohio's family is so traditional I think it might give his grandmother a heart attack. Plus, I really dont think I have the guts to pull that off....so maybe I will settle for an off-white dress of some sort.

Did you have any problems imagining yourself in a traditional wedding dress? Are you wearing something untraditional?
