Welcome back friends! I was just exploring some sites online about the newest trends in wedding gowns. Whether you are a traditional bride looking for a vision in pure lace or a cutting edge diva who wants something that will set her apart from the white-clad masses, it cannot be denied that a gown defines a bride in many ways.
First and foremost, the wedding dress acts as a visual element that ties together the whole event. In this way, the bride relates visually to her bridesmaids and groomsmen, and she completes the “set” at the altar. No matter whether your guests have the fish or the chicken or stay for the DJ’s big “Electric Slide” finale, each one will see the bride in her dress, and I guarantee this will be the thing that sticks in many peoples’ minds for years after the event.
Plus, isn’t there something heart-breakingly romantic about it? The bride. That dress. Just made for her and acting like the setting to the “diamond” that is her face. And, of course, my favorite part: the look on the groom’s face as he sees her for the first time. I’m getting a little teary-eyed just thinking about it. But the perfect dress takes much searching – both of the soul and of your local boutique or other shopping venue! Personally, I encourage a bride to pick something that isn’t completely trendy. You certainly want to avoid looking back with embarrassment on a dress that screams the date of your wedding (see “puffy sleeves” of the 1980s and all those brides who just had to get an exact replica of Princess Diana’s long-trained stunner). It’s fine to have contemporary touches, but make sure you do not keep everything in the same trend family. Some successful trends right now are a revival of the glamorous poufs of the 1950s and a touch of color in your gown. This can be done with a black sash or a yellow lace overlay, for example.
