Not every bride has been dreaming of her wedding day since she was a little girl. Some women just want to marry their significant other without all the pomp and circumstance that goes along with it such as the months of tedious planning, being the center of attention and hunting for that elusive bridesmaid dress flattering all ten attendants in your wedding party. Sound familiar? Then you are an anti-bride.

The dress
If the thought of going into a bridal shop and trying on traditional gowns makes you break out into a rash, then you should avoid them at all costs. Channel your inner Carrie Bradshaw from the Sex and the City movie (who did in fact break out when trying on a gown during the TV series) and pick out a simple off-the-rack outfit you will feel comfortable and attractive wearing. It doesn’t have to be white. It doesn’t have to be formal, and it doesn’t have to be designer. It’s your anti-wedding, pick out a style that suits you.
