There is something divine about the dress you pick out for your wedding. Each dress tells a story. Memories of selecting a wedding dress are as unique as the bride.
I found a simple and affordable cotton dress at Laura Ashley for my wedding years ago. My favorite part of the dress was the subtle floral pattern woven into the fabric. The dress had quite an adventure on the way to my wedding. First, the dress was shipped from London to Minneapolis. Unfortunately the dress arrived two sizes too big and there was a last-minute rush to make alterations at two separate tailors. On my wedding day my dress looked perfect and I felt wonderful!
Laura Ashley no longer makes wedding dresses, so I guess mine is vintage. I found a lovely blog post on Nibs about the LA Bridal collection circa 1983--my wedding dress was created several years later.
I am always curious to hear the stories behind the dresses women pick. TODAY Show hosts Meredith, Ann, Natalie and Kathie Lee reflect on what they wore to their nuptials in this TODAY Show video clip.
Do you dream of being a wedding planner? The annual TODAY Show Wedding feature allows viewers to vote on practically everything for a special couple's wedding--rings, reception, cake, wedding dress, and honeymoon.

The couple will be married live on the Plaza on September 30th on the TODAY Show.
You can vote for your favorite dress for the TODAY Show wedding couple, Jeremy and Melissa at TodayShow.com.
I like all of the dresses, but my favorite is:
"The Lela Rose wedding dress is feminine and romantic in a gorgeous blush color, which is a modern twist on a traditional gown silhouette. It is a textured silk gazar draped gown with a gorgeous bustled back detail, and the modified A-line skirt is flattering for all figures. Add a chainmail beaded belt to give the gown an extra wow factor for the reception."
