Enough of Being Timeless

Hey hey friends,

Happy Friday! You’re probably like, “What? Three posts in a week?” I know right? What is going on! Luckily I’ve had some extra time lately to sit down and brain vom dot com and you are on the receiving end.

If you haven’t checked out my two latest posts, you can go back and read them here and here.

So today’s topic is an argument against being timeless in your wedding fashion choices. I know. Cue the gasps, fainting, and running away in horror. But Christina, what do you mean “enough of being timeless?????"

Well, seven years ago when I was interning at Kleinfeld, I remember one of the consultants saying something about how if you love the gown NOW don’t worry about it being timeless twenty years from now. And honestly, it kind of stuck. I mean classic gowns are gorgeous and will always be stunning, but there are only so many classic gowns to go around. If you’re just not super into that style, well then either you’re out of luck or you’ll wind up wearing something you feel meh about. (Just a note: If you are truly into the timeless/classic look, totally cool! I’m addressing people who feel like they have to have a classic gown because their aunt, sister, mom, etc. said so.)

Now I will be clear in saying, if something is SOOOO trendy that in a year you’re going to look back and be like, “WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME,” then maybe just maybe, you should skip it. But if you fall in love with a dress, cry, the whole thing, and it is more on the fashion forward or trendy side, why would you give that up for the sake of being classic or timeless?

And another thing! Isn’t it kinda cool how we can look back and be like, “Oh that gown was from the 80s?” Imagine this homogeneous fashion world were you can’t tell what decade anything is from because everything is timeless. BORING!

Alrighty people, that is all I have for today. Have a great weekend, and I’ll back back next week with more musings.
