So this is it, huh? Your wedding day. As I see it, you're one of two people: Person A has been dreaming about their wedding since they found out weddings exist. They knew what color scheme they wanted, what the food would look like, what flowers they'd have, and, of course, what their wedding dress would look like. Then there's person B, who never really took time out of their day to plan their wedding before they knew it was happening. They knew they wanted to look their best and they'd be interested when the time came, but planning beforehand just didn't seem like something they felt was a good use of their time. Whichever kind of bride you are (because there's nothing wrong with either), there is one thing that crosses everyone's mind when the time comes: the wedding dress — and with that, some epic captions for wedding dress pictures to share with your friends and family later.

Who knows how the dress phenomenon really started, but at least for now, it's here to stay. So whether you love to love it or love to hate it, finding your wedding dress was kind of a big deal, and you want your Instagram caption to do it justice. Luckily, these 25 quotes about wedding dresses — the day you got it, the day you got to wear it in front of your forever person, etc. — are just what you need to tie up the final ribbon on your big day.
