Informal Wedding Dresses
The reality of informal wedding dresses is that when you choose a more simple look for your wedding outfit, you automatically become the star attraction - and not your gown!
One of the biggest bridal fashion faux pas is that brides go overboard for decking themselves out for their special occasion! If your goal is to be the most stunning and lovely creature that your groom has ever beheld, then you will certainly wish to keep your bridal gown and accessories informal and simple, drawing the focus onto yourself, and not your bridal outfit.

There are so many awesome and impressive informal wedding gowns from which you can choose, for your understated and elegant entry into your wedding ceremony.
If you wish to get married in a National Park or a lovely city park location, then you should keep the length of your informal wedding gown short, and certainly not any longer than just above ankle length. You should definitely forgo a wedding dress train when doing an outdoor wedding ceremony, as the fabric of the train can become soiled or ripped.

If you have decided upon a waterfront or beach bridal ceremony, then you may wish to leave off long sleeves from your dress, and instead choose short sleeves or beaded straps.
You also have quite a bit of choice for the materials and fabrics that are conducive to an understated wedding gown. I have seen darling crocheted or knitted lace dresses that were very pretty, and yet had that enticing informal flair to them.
These brides either made their wedding ensemble themselves, or a beloved grandmother, aunt or even their mother spent time lovingly stitching one for the beloved bride. These informal gowns end up becoming cherished family heirlooms.
As far as adding accessories and headpieces to a informal wedding dresses, I have seen some very impressive results from the traditional free form wire and bead or semi precious stone and fresh water pearl tiaras, for accenting the bride's gown.
These unique and one of a kind wedding headpieces are a very pretty option to wearing a traditional veil. You can still wear a bridal tiara while dancing, without snagging a veil. You can also accent an informal bridal gown with simple flowers or even tastefully arranged ribbons in you bridal hairdo that will still give you a fresh and pretty look.

The Best Wedding For You.2
The History of the White Wedding Dress
As a youngster -- or perhaps even as an adult -- have you ever sat dreamily imagining yourself in a fairytale wedding dress, about to marry your very own Prince Charming? And, what colour is the wedding dress? The chances are it's a white one. Millions of girls and women that dream of the perfect marriage have a vision of the perfect white wedding dress in their minds. But why white? Where did this tradition come from?
Women Haven't Always Been Marrying in White
In fact, in the grand scheme of things, the tradition isn't even all that old. The white wedding dress of today is deep-seated tradition, and for many is worn to signify virtue as well as uphold tradition. Millions -- in fact billions -- of women all over the world start thinking about the perfect white wedding gown before they have even found the perfect partner.
Britain is a place that is rife with traditions and legends, so it is little wonder that the tradition of the white wedding dress was started by the English Monarchy. It was the wedding of Queen Victoria that spawned the interest and popularity of white wedding dresses as we know them today.
Queen Victoria married Albert of Saxe in 1840, and wore what would then have been considered a flamboyant white gown. Of course, this did not start the tradition immediately; however, many women saw this as a statement of class and style, and copied the Queen by also getting married in white.
The white wedding dress in those days had nothing to do with being virtuous -- it was all about wealth. Getting married in a white, extravagant gown was a sign that you could afford to buy a dress that you would never be able to wear again because of its style and colour (whites were not easy to clean in those days as they are today!).

Of course, women still continued to be married in various colours and styles of dress -- it was only the vain and the wealthy that insisted on white to follow in the footsteps of the wealthy Monarch. However, during Edwardian times, the white wedding dress once more soared to new heights of popularity, as Coco Chanel unveiled its new knee-length white wedding dress, complete with extravagant train.
Even so, with the depression that followed World War I and the approach of World War II, many women continued to make do with whatever type of dress they could afford, and this went on for decades. Some women would marry in a short white informal wedding dress, which could then be dyed and used as an everyday dress. Again, it was only the fabulously wealthy that could really afford to splurge on an elaborate gown.
However, from the 1950s onwards, as the world watched Hollywood stars, royalty and members of high society get wed in stunning white gowns, the tradition of white became signed and sealed.
Wedding Dresses of Different Colours: A bit of folklore
As with many other things in life, there is much folklore and legend surrounding the various other colours that brides have been known to wed in. One old rhyme seems to sum up these notions:
Married in white, you have chosen all right. Married in green, ashamed to be seen. Married in red, you will wish yourself dead. Married in blue, you will always be true. Married in yellow, ashamed of your fellow. Married in black, you will wish yourself back. Married in pink, your spirits will sink
Of course, most people will think nothing of this poem, apart from the fact that each colour has been coupled with a meaning that just happened to rhyme very well. We all know that there are plenty of people that have married in pinks, blues and every other colour, and have enjoyed a long and happy marriage. And we certainly know that there are plenty of people that have married in white, who have not prospered quite so well.
Ordering Your Wedding Dress Online
Luckily, legend and folklore has given way to individuality in recent years, and brides now enjoy getting married in the colour of their choice. Both celebrities and everyday women have injected their wedding dresses with their own sense of style and personality, and we have seen women marrying in colours ranging from delicate ivory to deepest red and even black.
Royalty and high society still tend to favour the tradition of marrying in white. However, since simply wearing a white wedding gown can no longer mark their stature due to the availability of the white wedding dress, they now do this by infusing the dress with the most expensive silks, pearls and material possible, making it worth a king's ransom by the time it is finished.
Luckily, we don't all have to pay a fortune to look stunning for our wedding day, and there is now so much choice in colour, style, material and design that we can get married looking just the way we want -- and without having to sell all of our worldly possessions to do so!

The Internet is a great source for wedding dresses. You can enjoy excellent value for your money and unrivalled choice, enabling you to achieve just the look and theme that you want for your special day. Whether you want a full-on white gown with all the trimmings, a simple and elegant ivory dress, an informal yet classy wedding dress or something totally unique in a rich, vibrant colour, the Internet will provide you with access to the perfect choice.
You will enjoy access to a wide range of dress styles online, including:
* Traditional wedding gowns
* Informal wedding dresses
* Designer wedding dresses
* Coloured wedding gowns
* Gothic or medieval style wedding gowns
* Short wedding dresses
* Long wedding dresses
You can also select from a wide choice of material, so you can feel and look as stunning as you dare, and with the great quality available online you can cherish your special dress for years to come
perhaps even pass it down to future generations.

Wedding Dress Styles
Wedding Dress Styles - Choosing the Right One
A-Line or Princess Style
This is a great dress that is suitable for most body types. The way the dress is made gives the impression of height and is good for the bride who wishes to look taller.
Empire
This is a very good dress again for most body types but especially good for those women with a smaller bust or those with a larger bust.
Column
The column style dress is quite well fitting and is more suitable for the slimmer lady. It is not the most forgiving so if you have body areas that are perhaps a little larger than you are happy with, this dress will not do well to hid it.

Buy Wedding Dress 2
Wedding can be one of the biggest expenses. No wonder wedding services is a multi-billion industry in the United States.

That's why if you want to have a wedding of your dreams and keep the cost much lower than average wedding cost you need to pay close attention to the wedding planning process, especially the budget planning.

There is number of expenses involved in every wedding. By cutting the cost for each one you can save considerable amount of money. So here is the list of expenses and how you can make the cost lower for each of them.
Reception Venue
If you plan ahead what type of reception site you want then it can save you money and effort. There are number of options that can allow you have a reception for very low cost.
a) Reception in the Park. You don't have to worry about the decorations. It's already beautiful. The things to consider are time of the year and weather.
b) Backyard of your (or someone else's) home. This option the cheapest one especially if the food is prepared by you and/or by the family members. Things that need to be planed are renting tables, chairs and silverware.
c) In the church. It can be convenient to have a reception at the same church. Many churches are quite spacious to accept many guests. You will need to think about the decorations to make the feel of your wedding nicer.
Food
There are also numbers of options for food at the reception that will cost you much less. First of all you need to decide on the time of the day for reception. These are some general guidelines:
a) Morning wedding (before 11 am) - Breakfast of Breakfast buffet
b) Midday weeding (11 am to 1 pm) - Luncheon buffet
c) Afternoon wedding (1 to 4 pm) - Cake and punch.
d) Early evening wedding(4 to 7 pm) - Dinner buffet
f) Evening wedding (after 7 pm) - Cake and punch.
It is obvious that Afternoon and evening weddings will require much less than others for reception food.
Wedding Attire
Bride's suit is among the highest expenses in the wedding budget. Therefore it should be considered carefully before buying. Do not go ahead and buy it immediately after you got engaged. Some patience can save you a lot of money. These are some options for you to consider.
a) Buy discount. It is a huge market. Discount market even includes factory outlets. Such factory outlets like The Gunne Sax have even a separate building for wedding attire.
b) Buy Prom or Special Occasion dress. If you look at such dresses you will see that with some little alterations you can convert it into a nice wedding dress.
c) Bridesmaid's dress in white. You probably will be surprised that sometimes bridal salon staff may sell you bridesmaid's dress in white or ivory as a wedding dress. It even has a train but if you want you can make a longer train.
