    How to choose a wedding gown

    Probably the most important dress for any woman is her wedding dress. Whether you know exactly what you want or you are having a tough time deciding there are some things you should consider.

    Trends

    • The sexy, slim skirt is really the wedding look of the moment.
    • Wedding dresses are becoming much less traditional in order to help the bride feel like a star.
    • You can even look beyond white or ivory wedding dresses.
    • There is a predominance of café and rich and creamy colored wedding dresses, which impart a certain level of elegance.
    • Shorter wedding dresses are being seen more on the runways and in city weddings.
    • The bolero is becoming very popular.

    Traditions

    • Full-length wedding dresses are still the standard.
    • Less and less we see brides covering up unless it is a formal catholic wedding.
    • In most cases the veil will suffice for covering yourself.

    Finding Your Style

    • There is the traditional wedding dress, the sexy wedding dress and the dress that is in between.
    • The wedding dress that is in between traditional and sexy might be a strapless, lace dress that has a flare at the bottom. So it is a little body hugging but has some bride to it.

    Fittings

    • Usually you will have three fittings for your wedding dress: one fitting when you order the dress, one maybe a month or so before the wedding and one that is a week before the wedding.
