I don't get the hype over Angelina's wedding dress. She would've looked better in something draped or covered her arms. She looks sooooo skinny and arms look like twigs. She looked better when she had some muscle on her.
I do like the her veil with the kids artwork on it.
I love my children so very much but I would never let them near my wedding veil. The sentiment is lovely but that veil is an eyesore. I would have chosen another way to include the kids.
But I don't think anyone should cover their arms because society finds them too skinny, fat, or whatever. It's her wedding dress. I can't imagine picking a wedding dress based on whether or not the world finds my arms appropriate. Fuck that.
The great thing about weddings is that you can do whatever the hell you want and it doesn't matter what other people think. So she's skinny, that doesn't mean she needs to cover up her arms. That's no different from saying someone who's heavy needs to cover their arms.
At least her veil is personal to her and her family.

I think the dress is gorgeous. The fabric is beautiful, and it fits her amazingly well. I think straps that were wider at the top would have balanced it better, though, and looked less bra-strappy, but still it's very pretty. Love the veil.
Straps kind of like this is what I think would work better:
ETA: Did she cover up her tattoos, or are they all on the part of her arms that are hidden? I thought she had quite a few.
The dress is not my style. However, I think it's sweet that she let the children contribute to her dress and veil and not just be a part of the day. The kids are/were such a big part in them getting married in the first place, so why not?
The wedding was clearly largely about the kids, so it seems fitting that they made them a big part if the dress and veil. I love it when weddings really reflect the couple, and this one seems to have done that.
The dress reminds me of something gwyneth paltrow would wear in the early 00s - too shiny, too strappy. Also, i thibk the kid drawings are fug. My heart is also made of stone, it seems.

The little flowers are cute, but the other drawings are making me twitchy. I'm the person who's grinding her teeth at weddings where the flower girls start playing on the altar during the vows or butt into the first dance, or at bridal/baby showers where they insist on "helping" unwrap the gifts. I find it annoying rather than cute. Which is why we didn't invite kids to our wedding or pre-wedding events. Add me to the Heart Made of Stone Club.
But it's nice to see the kids looking so happy in the wedding photos. The kids are cute and it looks like they all get along really well. I genuinely hope they're as happy of a family as they appear to be.
Would I chose it? No, but I think she looks lovely. I like that it's personal and her kids seem to be so happy and having a ball...and that's really what this was all about, right?
The arms comment.......ughhhh...I don't even want to get into it.

Her dress is NMS, but really...she can't show her arms because they're too skinny?!? Would you ever have said "she should have covered her arms, they're too fat!" I'm guessing (hoping) no.

I take back anything bad I may have said about the dress (which is NMS) after seeing the rest of the photos. It really does look like they had a truly fun and personal day!
I think she probably let the kids pick out the dress and do their artwork thing because she couldn't care less about wedding formalities. Haven't they previously talked about giving in to the kids pressuring them to get married?
