It looks like this is a consacrated metaphor for brides, I can't think of what would be best to translate it. I have one idea, but would like some better solution.
"She was the blooming bride all right, but he couldn't help wondering whether..."
"Yes, I know. 'The blooming bride' and all that." (a chubby girl doubtful whether she would really be 'most beautiful' on her wedding day.)

mireasă îmbujorată
Sugestie...
Sau "ca o floare".
În funcţie de context cred că mai poţi parafraza...
"Era ea mireasa îmbujorată, dar oare chiar va fi ca o floare ?..."
Sper să te ajute... Spor! :)

Ar putea fi folosit şi în sens ironic, sau chiar pentru a sublinia această diferenţă între ce se aşteaptă să fie o mireasă şi cum este de fapt respectivul personaj, totul depinde de context. Bineînţeles, Ioana, tu ştii cel mai bine cerinţele contextului. Mult spor în continuare! :)

Note from asker:
| Multumesc mult, Adina. Imbujorata are conotatia de sfioasa, si nu se potrivea cu personajul, care e o tipa destul de infipta si incapatinata. De obicei ea nu e prea imbujorata. Dar probabil ca s-ar potrivi daca ar fi fost vorba de alta mireasa. Am optat pentru varianta cea mai aproape de original, dar e o sugestie faina. Multumesc tuturor! |
