Every Girl’s Dream Of A Wedding Dress
ByWelcome Back Friend!
Weddings performed during and immediately following the medieval era were often more than just a union between two people. They could be a union between two families, two businesses or even two countries. Many weddings were more a matter of politics than love, particularly among the nobility and the higher social classes. Brides were therefore expected to dress in a manner that cast their families in the most favorable light, for they were not representing only themselves during the ceremony. Brides of an elevated social standing often wore rich colors and expensive fabrics. It was common to see such brides wearing bold colors and layers of furs, velvet and silk. Brides of a lower social standing often copied the elegant styles of wealthier brides as best they could.
The wedding fashion industry is one that will continually boom. People will always get married, and on this special day, most are willing to go all out to make it the most beautiful and special. Wedding trends in bridal dress are common, and do change from season to season and year to year.
The most important aspect of the wedding is the bridal wear – the gown for the bride, dresses for the bridesmaid and mothers of the bride and groom, and the suits for the groom and best men. The number of fashion options available for wedding and bridal couture is endless, and the task of choosing the right styles can be daunting.
Celebrity weddings also often set the scene for bridal fashion. In 2008, a number of well-known celebrities got hitched, and their brides trend were quite different. Eva Longoria of Desperate Housewives fame preferred her dress to be short and stylish. The dress was pink with ruffle trimming. Gwen Stefani, rocker chick, was seen in a stand-out Dior silk gown. It was pink and white in color.
While off-the-shelf wedding dresses are often easy to find and purchase, the fit is rarely perfect. Therefore, the best advice for a bride-to-be is to have a dress tailor-made. Standard wedding dress materials include silk, chiffons, georgettes and laces (for accessories).
You’ll want your gown to match your wedding. Consider the color, the setting, the theme and the mood. A simple short dress can not match a formal theme wedding. So whatever you do have everything planned out then decide what kind of gown you need or want.
Always always set a budget and don’t even see those you cannot afford. Loving something you can’t own can be really depressing!
bridal wear is generally made from silk satin, dupion, voiles, georgettes and chiffons. The season that the wedding is held in can make a difference to the best type of material to choose when tailoring a dress. Silk satins tend to be looser and airier, thus allowing ease of movement and temperature comfort. Plain and embroidered fabric is usually available, and a combination of both can result in a very unique dress.
