KNOW YOUR
WEDDING DRESS STYLE
BY MIRANDA LIGHTSTONE
All the wedding shows on television tell you the same thing: Just try it on. And they’re not lying. However, before
you take the bridal-store plunge, take a few moments to indulge in our quiz to discover your inner dress.
You may be surprised by the results.
1. WHEN YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL YOU USED TO:
A. Bring home bugs and small animals and you were never without
a bit of dirt smudged on your chin and a rip in your Osh-Koshes.
B. Have tea parties with your stuffed animals complete with
plastic cookies, tiaras, and ballerina outfits.
C. Spend your time redecorating your Barbie playhouse with the
latest trends, colours, and fashion accessories.
2. YOUR IDEA OF THE PERFECT NIGHT IN INCLUDES:

house with your favourite band blasting on the radio.

popcorn and a good movie.

3. YOUR FAVOURITE ARTICLE OF CLOTHING IS:
A. Your university sweater (it might be smelly and torn, but it’s
comfortable and that’s why you love it).
B. It would have to be two things: Jeans and a plain T-shirt. No
need to stand out too much and, hey, you look hot in it so why
fix something if it ain’t broke?.
C. Your latest designer-find online. You’re always hunting for the
next great fashion-forward deal.

A. A backyard affair. Cool, calm, casual, and a little bit untraditional.
You just want your guests to be comfortable and happy.
B. The church where your parents were married.
C. The museum of modern art. It’s classy, sophisticated, and on
the cutting edge of fashion.
5. YOUR HOUSEHOLD PET IS A:
A. Chameleon. Just look at those cute swivelling eyeballs and his
teeny-tiny toes gripping the branches!
B. Bouncing, slobbering, lovable yellow lab
C. Shynx cat named Cleopatra. No one messes with the queen in
your household.
6. MOST IMPORTANT THING ON YOUR WEDDING DAY IS:

food, good music, good booze, and a good time had by all.

B. That everything is perfect. From the flowers in your bridesmaids’
hair to the linens on the tables, everything has to be perfect.
C. Coordination. Every moment of your wedding has to look
like a photo from the pages of Vogue. It’s all about placement
and poise.
7. YOUR DREAM WEDDING DRESS IS:
A. Designer all the way. You want to stand out from the crowd and
really make an entrance, make an impression.
B. Funky. Maybe colour inserts or feathers, or even an above-the
knee length. As long as it’s different, you want it.
C. Think Cinderella’s dress for the ball. A classic ballroom gown
with just the right amount of bling is what you’ve always
dreamt about.
8. YOUR PARTNER IS:

comfortable wedding day that’s all about the party.

dreams can get a bit out of hand sometimes.

has to be perfect. You already told him if he can’t contribute
then he should just step back and let you handle everything which he has.
9. WHICH MAGAZINE TO YOU PICK UP:

B. Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Jane - anything with quizzes and
advice columns.

10. YOUR ENGAGEMENT RING IS:

you were afraid it would get lost on your windsurfing adventures.
B. A single, solitary diamond set in gold. The perfect fairytale
engagement ring.
C. A one-off design from a local jeweller. There isn’t another like
it in the world.
