JMHO, hope I haven't offended anyone.
I agree. Watching a lot of the wedding shows on tv, I also am a little tired of the cleavage! Sexy should be for the wedding night, not the wedding ceremony. In my opinion. But then, I'm an old lady and my wedding dress (40 years ago) was up to my neck and down to my wrist and ankles but I loved it.
When my nephew was married the wedding dress was so revealing my DH just kept his distance. He didn't feel like he needed to see that much of someone else's wife.
I wore my mother's dress. Our daughter wanted to wear it too but they said the fabric was too old to be altered.
There is really not much out there I think. Even when I got married, 25 yrs ago, off the shoulders was the thing. I found something that was supposed to be off the shoulder but I scooped it up and made it look like a peasant neckline with little cap sleeves. Not sure what my DIL to be is wearing but I think it will be sleeveless. I hear you though.
