Home - CHOOSING THE RIGHT WEDDING DRESS
Wedding dresses are said to be the icing on the cake on every bride's wedding day. First you need to determine which types of wedding dresses are right for you.
You should have chosen what type of wedding you want by now, traditional (formal), informal or a theme wedding.
For the formal wedding, brides generally wear long white/cream-colored wedding dresses and a veil, perhaps a train and, of course, gloves. For the semi-formal weddings, brides will usually wear long white/cream-colored wedding dresses, a veil and gloves if desired. In informal weddings, a bride can have more flexibility. They can wear wedding gowns of any color, short or long, or even a suit. What about theme weddings? This will be harder, here you should decide first on the theme and then on the formality of the wedding you've always wanted to have. Only then is it time to shop for wedding dresses and wedding accessories to determine which ones match your theme!
The most important aspect to consider when selecting wedding dresses is your own sense of style. For specifics on what's appropriate to wear for each type of wedding, check out Emily Post's Wedding Etiquette, which devotes an entire chapter to wedding dresses and other fashion dos and don'ts, or Vera Wang on Weddings, in which Wang shares her vast fashion expertise with you as you plan your wedding. Both can be purchased from any major online bookstore and have great tips on buying wedding dresses.
The Internet can be a tremendous help when you're looking for wedding gowns and have a tight wedding budget. Below you will find a few of the best sites for wedding dresses.
Top 10 Wedding Dress Tips
1. What a treasure if you could wear, perhaps your mom's or a relative's dress
2. If you must purchase a dress, prepare a budget
3. What style of formal dress looks good on you
4. If you have tattoos on your back, arms or neck you want a dress that covers them up, they take away from an elegant dress!
5. Look through bridal magazines for ideas and current styles
6. Go to local bridal stores and try on wedding gowns.
7. Look online to see what other wedding dresses are available to you. Online bridal shops can deliver the same level of service as regular stores.
8. Look for a store that offers discount wedding dresses because of their vastly reduced overhead costs!
9. Compare the in-store price to the Internet dress stores to find out which is the better deal.
10. Narrow down your search to a few dresses that you like the best.
Wedding gowns have not always been elaborate, as many are today. In the eighteenth century, poor brides dressed in simple robes. This symbolized to her future husband that she brought nothing with her into the marriage and would therefore not burden him with any debt. It wasn't until the mid nineteenth century that the all-white wedding dress became fashionable. Up until then a bride simply wore her best dress, regardless of its color. In 1840, Queen Victoria's pure white gown started the trend that many women follow today.
