History Of White Wedding Dresses
Published June 19, 2012 | There are many popular sayings and beliefs about the wedding dress and its etiquette. It would be interesting for each ride to learn more about the history of wedding dresses. Even if you’re not planning on wearing a traditional gown at your wedding it would be nice to find out more interesting things of the wedding dress wear and its specifics. The origin of the white of wedding dress is perhaps the most popular and interesting subject to approach at this chapter. In time there have been many customs and practices related to the wedding dress.
One fan fact in ancient weddings was that guests would tear off a bit of the bride’s dress and take it home for good luck. In ancient Greece, wedding attendants used to pin money to the bride’s gown as a wedding gift. We all know that the first dress that was ever designed exclusively for a bride was the one worn by Queen Victoria at her wedding. Although this was a royal wedding and a sophisticated dress design, many middle class brides of that time took this trend for their own wedding.
History White Wedding Dress (Source: weddinginspirasi.com)
During the Victorian times white wedding dresses were regarded as the symbols of purity and maidenhood. The bride’s chastity was a very important quality to be appreciated by a man in old times. The trend of wedding dresses continued until present days. Unfortunately, our brides are no longer focused on things like virginity. The blushing brides from the past have disappeared, almost completely. There are rarer cases of brides who want to do it all by the book and honor this beautiful and sacred tradition. Before Queen Victoria had this dream of getting married in white, brides of that time used to wear the best gown they had in their closet, regardless of the color.

The black nuance was one of the most powerful trends in bridal fashion wear back in the old days. During the medieval times, marriages were often arranged, based on financial purposes. This practice is not official today, but still in vogue. The medieval bride could be seen wearing a colored dress at her wedding. Bold and rich colors were interpreted as symbols of the bride’s wealth and social status. The array of colored wedding gowns allowed each woman to represent her family and her dowry.

Nowadays, the colorful wedding dress style is back in trend, although the bride wears it for another reason. The color of a modern wedding gown is meant to reflect the bride’s unique personality and individual style. Knowing more about the trends and customs of the past can help the contemporary bride to keep an open mind and make her own pick based on her interests and priorities.

Long Sleeve Wedding Dresses
Published June 16, 2012 | Nothing says more elegance, refinement, decency and high class than a long sleeve wedding dress. However, this style is not appreciated by all brides. Although the long sleeve wedding gowns are back in trend, this style is not every woman’s cup of tea. Those who want to show off their beautiful shoulders and arms may not find this type of look the most appropriate or flattering for them.
Long sleeves are usually chosen by mature brides and by those who don’t feel comfortable wearing a strapless dress. This style is also adequate for those who are getting married for the second time or later in life. At a certain age, women don’t feel that confident in their skin and this is why they can’t afford to wear an attractive gown. And the strapless gown may be interpreted as a provocative design for an elderly bride! Long sleeve wedding dresses are the classiest choice to go for.

Kate Middleton proved it at her wedding. Her Sarah Burton lace wedding dress with long semi-transparent sleeves is a fashion statement and a model for those who want to look stylish and elegant at their wedding without showing off too much of their skin. This style is special and unique and even the most pretentious bride can end up falling in love with a long sleeve gown.

We also recommend this type of dress to the bashful bride who wants a dainty simple and decent look. But it’s not mandatory for all long sleeve wedding dresses to be simple and clean. It all depends on the formality they have been created for. The ones made of lace and adorned with lace embroideries are by far the most popular and the most serious formal options. But the long sleeves can be made of any other type of fabric, more or less soft. If you’re having a beach wedding and you don’t want the sun to burn your skin, choose a cotton or organza dress with a fluid silhouette and long sleeves.

The sleeves can be ¾ if the weather is just too hot. Sheer fabrics are great for long sleeve wedding dresses because they allow the bride to feel comfortable and also look very stylish and feminine. There are plenty of classic and modern designs to choose from when it comes to long sleeve wedding dresses. The most popular one is with a square neck and perhaps with a sheer bodice on top of a sweetheart neckline. The V-neck style is also popular and it was the one chosen by Kate Middleton for her royal ceremony. What do you think of an off the shoulders long sleeve wedding gown? This style is even more feminine and romantic!

Silver Wedding Dresses
Published June 14, 2012 | If you are one of those offbeat brides who want to wear something glam and fancy at their wedding, perhaps a silver wedding gown can make a sensational inspired pick. The classic white dress may be too simple, too plain or perhaps to standard for some brides. This is why our fashion designers have come up with so many new ideas and suggestions. If a colored silhouette is too much for you, perhaps something off white can make a better fit.
Not all modern brides are ready to embrace a totally different style, like a brightly colored dress. You are lucky because the models available today for the bridal field include both vibrant and pastel shades. Among our favorite off white nuances a modern bride can choose for her wedding dress we mention: blush, coral, peach, ivory, champagne, ecru, beige, nude, sand, powder blue, teal, turquoise, buttery yellow and gray.

Silver is from the metallic hue palettes which are also very trendy these days. Many brides feel drawn to this style and we are very happy to see that there are many other options for those who love the glittery look: taupe, pewter, platinum, copper and bronze. Perhaps we will also experience yellow and rose gold wedding gowns in the near future, who knows? Metallic colors are very sophisticated and extravagant and ideal for glamorous brides.

We’ve seen these hues incorporated in wedding centerpieces and décor arrangements, but rarely in wedding dresses. And if you think that these colors are too bright or flashy for a wedding, you can only use one of them as an accent. Wear a white wedding dress and adorn it with a silver type of embroidery, print, flower fascinator, sash, band or brooch. There are many other ways to insert color in a white bridal outfit. If you want to keep your dress white and clean, wear a colored hair fascinator or headpiece. You can find extraordinary silver and platinum wedding gowns in Vera Wang, Priscilla of Boston or Raem Acra.

You should definitely view their bridal collections before making any selection in this sense. Silver is eye-catchy and strident, bold and dramatic, yet refined and very luxurious in the same time. The glamour-inspired bride is the main target of this style. But even those who are having a winter or holyday themed wedding and wish to wear something more sparkling and festive can pick a silver or glittery gray gown for their ceremony. Silver is sleek, luscious and sophisticated enough to use it for a pompous gown. This hue looks beautiful in long form-fitted silhouettes. But you can also choose it for a more sumptuous design. Use these pictures to get inspired for your own silver wedding gown!
