Dress for the Occasion!
You’ve been dreaming about your wedding since you were a little girl. The dress you will be wearing was the focal point of all your daydreams and now it is time to make that dream come true. When it comes to choosing a bridal gown, remember to keep it personal. Consider your personality and style when you try on those dresses. Many brides have been wearing the strapless dress with no visible means of support. For some women this strapless dress works beautifully and for others it becomes a nightmare to just keep ‘the girls’ confined to that dress bodice. You really don’t want to be fighting your dress all day; tugging and stretching and taping things in place. You want to express yourself, feel gorgeous and not think twice about what would happen if that piece of tape lets go. Let’s consider the options according to your style and personality.
Classic: If you enjoy a sleek and elegant look over trendy, you may be a classic beauty. When it comes to lace and layers you know that more does not always mean better. The Classic bride doesn’t need layers of distraction, just one strong focal point; whether that is the neckline, the back view or a sash/cord at the waist. A simple, draping silk gown that flows over your sensuous curves will turn everyone’s head, especially the Groom’s!
Flirty: A new look for the wedding dress in 2009 is the one-shoulder neckline. This cures the problem of run-away cleavage and yet retains the sexy shoulder come-on. Styles come in many different options, but all feature that one, bare shoulder for him to kiss. Imagine the great photograph of his hand on that one, bare shoulder as he looks at his beautiful bride.
Romantic: You are the kind of girl who sprays perfume on your letters and you simply can’t imagine not wearing the big “Cinderella” dress as you enter your ceremony. You love the look of the princess dress with the skirt that gives the illusion of floating on air. Today’s bride will find that the organza, taffeta and chiffon fabrics are much lighter, softer and more comfortable than previous years. This dress does best where you will have plenty of room to maneuver around without concern of what your dress might bump into.
Creative: The traditional dress colors of white or ivory are giving way to color in 2009. This trend has been gaining speed over the past few years with colored trim or sash. Now this year is exploding with fun color options for the creative bride. Is your theme dramatic? Go ahead and wear a gown of midnight blue and gold embroidery, or perhaps an eggplant purple is more in-keeping with your theme. Color can also be a soft pink dress with complementing ivory roses on the bodice and skirt. It is still a good idea for the bride to wear a different color than her bridesmaids, but there is no limit to what you can do with color.
