Yee-haw! A denim wedding dress that'll have you boot scootin'
Filed under: Fashion, Alternative Weddings
Living in Oklahoma City, which is usually referred to just "the city" by folks outside of "the city," I rarely get an opportunity to witness a true-blue western wedding. Oh, and trust me – I've been to some pretty interesting ceremonies that involved anything from cheap champagne in a bathtub to karaoke set up in the middle of a grazing field with cows and horses.
And, I really don't think I'll ever forget the wedding I attended where the groom-to-be and his father were still building the wedding "gazebo" about five minutes before the bride was to walk down the, uh, well, aisle of something I pretended wasn't hay and horse dung. However, those scary memories aside, I have actually seen some beautiful gowns, like this one a friend of mine had purchased for her wedding over the summer.
For the bride who's proud to say she knows how to ride a horse, I thought this corset gown was exceptional for the hand-beaded detail and the gorgeous cathedral train. Also, my friend reports that the blue denim is not that heavy and was easy for her to move around in during her wedding.
Since I have trouble moving around in most of my jeans, I'll just have to trust her on that. But at $450 for a dress with so much detail (more than the site can really show), I'll say that's a bargain. And, who knows – the dress could end up being like your favorite pair of jeans. You know, the ones you wear when you want to be comfortable and still look amazing.
With the right hair-do and accessories, you could certainly turn a western wedding gown into a modern, fashion-forward dress that people will remember in a good way.
