WHAT TYPE OF BRIDE ARE YOU?
You are:
You remain an old-school kind of gal in this ever-modernizing world. You value tradition and romance and have an appreciation for doing things a certain way. Chances are, you've been planning your wedding since you could talk. You're most likely super close with your family, so a classic wedding is the only one for you! So go ahead and wear white on your wedding day, toss your bouquet, and let your husband peel a garter belt off your leg with his teeth, girl!
Classic Bride!

WHAT TYPE OF BRIDE ARE YOU?
You are:
Throw all the Earth-Friendly confetti!! When planning you're wedding, you seem to love anything that looks a little worn in (or maybe even broken). Your flower arrangements will most likely come in mason jars, and chances are your wedding venue is the local barn. Your dress will most likely be made of lace or tulle. We think you're brilliant! You'll shine extra bright with your cowboy boots on!
Rustic-Boho Bride!
