How to buy an ugly wedding dress

What an odd idea! Why would anyone want to buy an ugly wedding dress for their Fayetteville wedding celebration? Obviously, they wouldn’t, and yet many brides do. Why? Because they are misled into following the lead of their favorite celebrities.

Some brides let a celebrity’s status sway them more than their sense of style. Take Jessica Biel’s pink dress worn in 2012 when she tied the knot with Justin Timberlake. Is a dress the color of cotton candy really what you want?
