0 Destination Wedding Dresses

Finding the perfect destination wedding dress is not always an easy task, and the wedding dress that is perfect for one destination may be inappropriate for another.

It is important, therefore, to not only match the destination wedding dress to your own taste and style but to the nature of the destination as well.

A Beach Wedding Dress

For instance, beach weddings are among the most popular of all destination weddings, and getting married on the beach certainly can provide memories that last a lifetime.

A beach wedding, however, will require a different kind of destination wedding dress than a dress for a traditional church wedding, and it is important to take those special needs into account.

Understanding the Nature Of The Wedding

For instance, you probably would not want the wedding dress you choose for a wedding on the beach to have a long flowing train. You may instead want to opt for a shorter and sportier type of wedding dress, perhaps even a strapless model to show off that great tan.

When shopping for a destination wedding dress it is important that the designer have a good idea of the nature of the wedding. This will allow the wedding dress designer to make more appropriate suggestions as to the type of dress that would be best.

Having Fun When Looking For Your Wedding Dress

Of course there is no reason that shopping for a destination wedding dress cannot be lots of fun, and it is important to keep that sense of fun about you as you shop for the perfect dress.

Too many of us allow ourselves to get caught up in the stress of planning a wedding, and we forget that the wedding is first and foremost a celebration of love.

If you can remember that the wedding is a celebration you will be better able to avoid the stress that sometimes comes with the search for the perfect destination wedding dress.

0 Maternity Wedding Dresses

Today, more bridal wear designers and clothing manufacturers focus on providing pregnant brides with wonderful selections of gorgeous maternity wedding dresses. Gone are the days of generic-looking and loose wedding dress mumus; they have been replaced by chic and fashionable maternity wedding garments. You no longer have to compromise your dream wedding dress style simply because you're expecting.

Most maternity wedding dresses use stretch fabrics designed to accommodate your ever-changing body. A number of maternity wedding dresses have empire waistlines with softly flowing fabric designed to fit loosely around the midsection to fit your growing belly. There are also some maternity wedding dresses made from stretchy materials like spandex, but if you're looking for something a little more elegant, you may opt for silk, satin or stretchy lace maternity wedding dresses.

Finding the Perfect Maternity Wedding Dress

The following are some tips designed to help you find the perfect maternity wedding dress.

Tip 1: As much as possible, try to purchase your maternity wedding dress close to your actual wedding date.

If you purchase your maternity wedding dress months ahead of your actual wedding, your body is still going to experience numerous changes. Aside from a swelling belly, you may add on some extra pounds in other places. To avoid having to spend a lot in alterations, buy your dress just a month or two before you actually tie the knot.


Tip 2: If you're purchasing your gown ahead of time, try to estimate how far along you'll be by the day of your wedding to help you find the right dress size.

When picking out your maternity wedding dress, finding the right dress size is a must! To make sure you're getting the right dress size, base your choice on your pre-pregnancy size. In most cases your normal dress size is just the same as your maternity dress size, except you have fabric allowance in the belly region.

Tip 3:
If you're in between sizes, always go for the bigger size
Let's be honest, until you actually give birth, you're just going to keep getting bigger, that's why it's crucial that you find a maternity wedding dress that accommodates your growing size.

Tip 4: Keep a handy seamstress available for last minute alterations.

While it's always safer to go for a size bigger when picking out your maternity wedding dress, it's equally important that your dress fits you well on your actual wedding day. A seamstress or a dressmaker can help you make sure your gown is a perfect fit.

Tip 5: Know where to look.




Maternity wedding dresses are a little harder to find compared to beach wedding dresses, formal and informal wedding gowns. You may not be able to find an excellent maternity dress collection at your nearest bridal boutique.

If you're looking for variety, begin your search online. There are numerous online bridal wear shops with fabulous collections of maternity wedding dresses.

Wedding is the most auspicious occasion. Instead of the normal wedding party, some of you might prefer your wedding at an exotic location with an ocean view. Organizing wedding on a beach would convey your message to your beloved how romantic and thoughtful you are. Although it may sound a very unique concept but many beaches around the world are witnessing the vows of two hearts. Now days it has become very common for a couple to fly down to tropical island and take their vows on the surface of beach and sand. The wedding at beach doesn't let you wear long flowing gowns. The wedding is very informal which makes it important to wear something comfortable and casual. Keeping this in mind, varied ranges of beach wedding dress are available which provides refined and classy look. Some of the wedding dress that could be worn is strapless dress, halter, one-shoulder dress and ones with sleeves as well. Avoid wearing headpieces and full formal skirts as this would look out of place.

With this wedding trend becoming more popular, the designers are coming up with innovative and unique ideas perfect for the occasion. For the beach wedding, its utmost vital to consider the quality of fabric as you might have to travel a lot and also the fabric should not be out of place in high humidity. The destination brides should spend some time in market research for their wedding dress so that they can look trendier yet they should feel like a bride and not like a guest in a party. The beach wedding dress should be a perfect merge of elegance and simplicity. The beach wedding can let you enjoy the sun tan in your comfortable wedding outfit. The wedding becomes more personalized with only few of your close friends and relatives attending the ceremony. This involves more frolic and enjoyment. After the small celebration, the newly wed couple skips off to honeymoon in their pre-arranged accommodation.


Even though the beach wedding is very informal, make sure to pick the right accessories with your wedding dress. The bride will look magnificent by plugging some fresh flowers in her hair. It will not only make you look fresh but also will complement the wedding theme. Try not to tie up your hair completely, instead allow it to flow naturally. Proper care should be taken to cover up your lovely feet. Go for flip-flops or sandals instead of shoes, which will go right with an informal beach wedding dress. This would be the most appropriate decision yet it will come in your budget as well. Also, inform your guest well in advance that it would be an informal party otherwise they will end up in formal outfit. To make the wedding livelier, the invitation card should also relate to the theme of the party. It should be vary casual and to provide a more personalized touch give a hand made invitation card. Also plan what you are going to give to your guest as favors. A pair of flip-flops or sandal to ladies would be a great as well as an inexpensive idea.

One of the unique selling points of a beach wedding is that you don't have to much thoughtful about your wedding attire. In fact, the wedding dress could be picked off the rack for the couple with short engagement. You might even be lucky to get a perfect fitting beach wedding dress without any need for alterations. Even if alterations are required it would be normally minimal and wouldn't take much of your time. One important factor to consider is the weather. Even if you have planned your wedding in a beautiful day, the breezes at the ocean might blow off some loosely fitted part of the dress. Look for some better options to avoid such inconvenience. Make sure to pin your hat properly, if you consider wearing one. Besides, opt for the dress as per the season as well. If you are uncomfortable to carry a floral bouquet with your wedding informal frock, take few long stemmed lilies or white roses beautifully laced with a ribbon. A small basket filled with roses, lilies or daisies look good too. In fact, flowers perfectly complement your beach wedding.


While giving the order for your beach wedding dress make sure to ask about the expected delivery time. Make sure that your wedding attire is handover to you few days well in advance. This will give you enough time for trial and making some alterations if required. If possible ask them to give in writing about the arrival time of your dress. Most important thing is that it's the most important day of your life so try to make it as special as you can. The perfect location, perfect man and your perfect dress, there could be nothing more that you could have desired for.

0 Wedding Dresses With Sleeves

After years of being traumatized by poufy sleeves which were larger then their faces, brides have made a sharp turn away from wedding gowns with sleeves. Sleeves have gotten a bad rap as being dated, fussy, and just plain over-the-top (remember the leg o'mutton sleeve?). However, after years of bridal banishment, sleeves are finally starting to make a comeback. Don't worry: you will look nothing like Princess Diana in the newest wedding gowns with sleeves. This is how the trend towards bridal gowns with sleeves showing up in some of the prettiest weddings around.

Traditionally, brides always wore wedding dresses with sleeves, at least for the ceremony portion of the event. There was the expectation that the bride at a church wedding would cover her shoulders to show respect in a house of worship. That custom has pretty much been abandoned in most, though not all, houses of worship. Over time, however, the religious reasons for wearing wedding gowns with sleeves have faded, and the strapless gown is by far the most popular option for brides. In fact, if a bride wanted to wear a wedding gown with sleeves, whether it was for religious reasons, to cover tattoos, or just a matter of personal preference, she often had to resort to having a gown custom made or wearing a jacket over a sleeveless gown.

Everything comes around eventually in fashion, however, and the sleeve has finally started to show up again in bridal collections. Although strapless gowns are likely to retain their immensely popular status, they are no longer the only option. One of the prettiest wedding gowns with sleeves which has been seen recently was the one worn by Ivanka Trump in her October 2009 wedding. It was a custom Vera Wang gown inspired by the lace creation worn by none other than Grace Kelly when she became Princess of Monaco.

Ivanka Trump's regal gown was the essence of feminine beauty, and even Vera Wang commented on what a pleasure it was to see a bride wear a classic gown with sleeves after seeing so many strapless gowns. Ivanka accessorized her gown with a classic all white nosegay bouquet and fabulous bridal jewelry. As the neckline of her gown was too high to wear a necklace, she opted for spectacular earrings and an impressive bracelet as her bridal jewelry. Brides without access to the Trump bank account can achieve a similar effect by selecting gorgeous Swarovski crystal jewelry instead of diamonds set in platinum.

Ivanka is not the only one with the 1950s on her mind right now. Many of the top designers showed '50s inspired gowns in their most recent bridal collections. Granted, many of those gowns were strapless, but the portrait neckline is also fabulous with the classic 1950s silhouette. Sitting just on the tip of the shoulder, the portrait neckline is incredibly flattering to almost any bride's figure, including those with larger busts.

Lace sleeves are one of the up-and-coming trends, as they offer the classic beauty and modesty of sleeves, but retain a light and airy feeling thanks to the openwork of the lace. For brides who like the idea of sleeves paired with a more seductive cut gown, try one with sleeves which open into a keyhole back on the bodice. Monique Lhullier specializes in that design, and others offer it as well. This type of wedding gown with sleeves can be the perfect blend of modesty and drama for a modern bride.

Custom Made Wedding Dresses - Are They Worth the Hassle?

The wedding gown is the top priority for most women when it comes to their marriage ceremony. Everything else might be perfect but if the dress doesn't cut the mustard, then it's pointless. So what do you do if you've searched high and low and yet you cannot find that dream wedding dress?

You can custom create your own. Most brides-to-be are much too busy with their wedding plans to spare any time in designing their own wedding dress, and the majority just don't have the design flair to do such a thing in the first place. This is where you might want to look at hiring the services of a designer to create your ideal dress (just be prepared to fork out a decent sum of money to make your dream come true).

The advantage of designing your own dress is knowing for sure that everything fits you perfectly and it is precisely how you want it to look, down to the very last detail.

You might be wondering how you're going to afford such an expense. Well there are ways around this such as cutting certain costs from your wedding, such as having a more simple honeymoon, or having a smaller reception perhaps - there's definitely ways around this if you desire it badly enough.

Depending on how far ahead you plan your wedding (or how last minute), you would be better off hiring a designer that other friends, colleagues or family have used before. The worst thing is being stuck with a terrible designer who doesn't take your wedding dress designs as seriously as you do.


If you're a bit artistic, you might like to do a few first-pass sketches of how you'd like your wedding dress to turn out, but most of the time you needn't worry as a good dress designer will normally work beside you to get the preliminary sketches done. You may also use several wedding dress magazines here to get some additional ideas or use it as a source of inspiration.

This is where you will want to go crazy and describe the type of style of dress, fabrics you want included as well as any particular accessories you might want to have on during the day (just to make sure the dress matches the jewellery perfectly).

During the design process, keep your mind open to any modifications that might be required and have a little faith in your wedding dress designer. Once the final design is drafted, the dress making process begins and be prepared to attend several fitting sessions as well.

It might be a lot of trouble and cost a lot of money, but I assure you, when you are wearing that gorgeous dress that you had a hand in designing, and that's utterly unique, it will be worth every cent.
