One trip to a bridal shop with Vanessa, and I am quite sure I would last maybe 45 minutes working in one.
From helping some people find Renaissance costumes for an October wedding, I have learned why they don't play country music in bridal shops.
"If I lower the decolletage any more, Mademoiselle will be carrying her assets down the aisle on a tray."
"Oui, Mademoiselle, both the Mother of the Bride and the Mother of the Groom will wear black."
"If Mademoiselle insists on looking like ten pounds of merde, it behooves her not to put it in a five pound bag."
All the while, snatches of lyrics float in the air:
"...she opened up that big front door and flung her diamond ring; she said, give it away..."
"...I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped-up four wheel drive...maybe next time he'll think before he cheats..."
"...third-rate romance, low-rent rendezvous..."
and snatches of conversation are overheard from the fitting rooms:
"...Tighter, gawd damn it! Tighter!"
"...you mean, I have to wear a bra?"
"...I want it in purple!"
All I can say is, $1500 is a lot to spend on a costume for one performance!
Morning!
ReplyDeleteI like the traditional stuff! Wearing the hair up and away is a favourite for me, too.
I must be old fashioned, but, I don't think long, limp hair looks good with a beautiful wedding gown.
It is only my opinion, of course.
Back in the day, it was the last time a girl wore her hair down. Of course, that was way before white wedding gowns, too.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Vero, but....pardon?
ReplyDeleteWomen use to wear their hair down until they married. We're talking Medieval here, I think. Whit wedding gowns did not become normal until Queen Victoria got married in one in 1840.
ReplyDeleteGotta run...LTA!
What was I thinking? Sometimes, I wonder!
