That list is shine, stains, and a dead phone.

At age 66, there's a lot about my former marriage I look back and regret. Among other things, I wish we could have afforded a big and splashy wedding, complete with bridesmaids.

p.s. save this list if you like it because i'll be updating it occasionally with new dresses! let's face it, these sites have hundreds and hundreds of pages of clothing, and it's a nightmare to sift through. but i stand by the fact that you don't need to be spending hundreds of dollars on a dress, AND that you don't need to be wearing the same (plain) dresses as other people. i've searched through hundreds of dresses to find ones that are $100 and unique. both are also they're typically fairly quick and have a great easy return policy so i can order a bunch to try on and return.

In 2025, wedding themes are trending toward personalization, immersive experiences, and intentional design, reflecting the way couples want their celebrations to feel as unique as their love stories. Themes like celestial, Regency romance, and fairy-tale fantasy tap into the desire for magic and escapism, while sustainable, eco-friendly, and micro-weddings reflect conscious living and meaningful connections. On the other end of the spectrum, bold looks like maximalism, retro disco, and royal jewel tones celebrate joy, color, and extravagance after years of minimalism dominating wedding culture. Meanwhile, futuristic tech-infused weddings show how innovation is shaping modern events, and natural styles like desert boho, garden party, and tropical luxe highlight the ongoing love for outdoor, organic beauty. Altogether, these trends speak to a generation of couples who want their weddings to be deeply personal, visually striking, and memorable for both themselves and their guests
