How to Make Your Wedding Dresses Stand Out

Thousand of wedding dresses are rented, made, sewn, worn, sealed and handed down each single year. If you were to pile them all up, they would all basically look the same. So how do you go about to make your own wedding dresses stand out? Here are a few tips for having stand-out wedding dresses:

3000

1. Splash in a bit of your favorite shade.

Think of Gwen Stefani’s luxurious wedding dress. Instead of merely settling for pristine white, add a little spunk to your wedding dresses. You may blend in a few pastels near the hem of your wedding gown, or add a few dainty miniature flowers at the fold.

2. Add a little sparkle

Other than spunk, you could also add in sparkle and sheen to your otherwise bland wedding dresses. Add a touch of sparkle with a few Swarovski crystals or beadworks to you wedding dresses. Just avoid overdoing it. Otherwise you would end up like a walking disco ball.

3. Be yourself

You can never do your wedding gown justice if you don’t wear it comfortably enough. Be yourself and wear it the way you would wear it and not how some stiff, self-conscious and awkward bride would. Have fun in your wedding dresses and wear it with confidence. No one else in the entire room looks more gorgeous than you.

For those wearing a plus-size wedding attire, fear not. It is not the size that makes you or breaks you. It is how you wear it and how you feel when you are wearing it. It is your day, you are the best looking chap in the room, you know.

4. Add a little pizzazz

If you want to wear a pair of ruby red Dorothy heels with your wedding dresses, go ahead. Accessorize and add in a bit of your personality. However, you have to be very careful with this. Be sure you won’t go overboard. Accessorize carefully, not thoroughly.

You could add in few of the pieces that makes you uniquely you. Flower lovers, show your passion. Wear a halo made with the best flowers or have a few miniature flowers added into your wedding dresses. Just make sure you do not end up looking like a giant bundle of wedding favors. You might lead your guests scrambling to take you home.

5. Accessorize with a smile

Despite what people say, your mood really brings down or destroys an outfit. Even if you are indeed wearing the world’s most gorgeous wedding dresses, made with the world’s finest silk and embroidered with the best jewels, but your face – especially your eyes – reflect the anxiety, the doubts, the self-consciousness, you will not be doing your gorgeous wedding dress any justice.

Smile and enjoy the occasion. Your wedding day is supposed to be the best day of your life. Walk down the aisle with positive thoughts and do not dwell on apprehensions. In addition, do not feel conscious wearing your wedding dresses. You will not believe how a sunny smile can drastically change everything.

The Best Accessories to Add a Little Pizzazz to Your Plus Size Wedding Dresses

You can add a bit of life to your traditional, gorgeous plus size wedding dresses. Instead of merely settling for the “all white” look, go for something spunky, something a little less dull, something that represents you.

Plus size wedding dresses, however, need careful attention when it comes to accessorizing and spicing up. You need to be extremely careful in choosing colors, designs, patterns and beadworks. With careful research and an open mind, you can spice up your plus size wedding dresses to suit you perfectly.

How, you ask. Here are a few guidelines in adding a few frills to your plus size wedding dresses.

1. Go for subdued colors. When adding a splash of color to your plus size wedding dresses, add it near the hemlines. Choose your colors carefully in doing so. Be sure to choose subdued colors – subdued does not mean colors of mourning, mind you. Choose any of these pastels or neutral shades: tan, light grey, peach, light pink, light blue, light green or lilac. You may also go for metallic shades such as silvery grey, bronze or even matte gold. Do not risk patching up patterns such as stripes or plaid, and do not opt for bold colors such as bright red or neon green, neon orange or electric pink. These will drastically change the entire feel of your wedding dresses. Stick to the formal theme; do not go wild with the colors. It is also important to lock this in your head: No leopard prints, zebra prints or animal prints are allowed. There are no plausible excuse for humiliating yourself that way on your wedding day.

2. Go easy on the beadwork. Beadwork, sequins, embroidery, Swarovski crystals – these all make great wedding dress accessories. However, sprinkle them on your plus size wedding dresses minimally. You have to make sure you do not look like you are covered in ice or that you are not a walking disco ball. It would be safer if you seek the advice of bridal shop owners on the best means to accessorize your wedding dresses with beadworks, sequins and embroideries. With their years of experience in the business, they are sure to give you some pointers that would save you on your wedding day.

3. You can also opt to add in a few flowers in or on your hair. But be careful with this one because this is quite tricky. You would not want to end up looking like a wedding favor. Choose lovely, classy flowers, made into a beautiful halo. Do not go for the ordinary types or flowers which you can merely pluck out of the central garden – if you won’t get caught that is. Also, make sure that the “flower in your hair” theme goes well with your wedding theme. If you are having a formal church wedding, one that would very nearly rival those of Britain’s royal family, a halo of flowers is not exactly the perfect choice.

Your best armor in choosing the right accessories to make your wedding dress is your own judgment. Choose well.

Evening Dresses: Hollywood Style

The rise of the Hollywood fashion icons have seen an onslaught of gorgeous, must-have evening dresses like no other. Evening dresses of various designs, styles, shades could drive evening dress aficionados crazy.
B2080
Armed with their magazine cutouts and pen, these aficionados rush to their favorite couturier and ask for a copy of these Hollywood starlet’s evening dresses, at a much lesser cost.

There are others, however, who prefer to design their own evening gowns. With a vision and a sketch book, these mavens draw all original evening dresses, with just a touch or an obvious inspiration of Hollywood. So here are some tips on how to design you own evening dresses, Hollywood style.

B2081

1. Watch Hollywood Entertainment News

Watching Hollywood lifestyle channels or entertainment news exposes you to a variety of Hollywood evening dresses. You can check out some lifestyle channel’s best and worst dressed. These are legit – they are sorted out by legitimate fashion critics, after all. These best dressed and worst dressed lists will give you a very useful cue on what dress designs to go for and what to stay away from.

B2084

2. Leaf through Fashion Magazines

Fashion magazines feature the latest evening dresses worn by these Hollywood stars. Fashion magazines are actually way better than watching television. Instead of encrypting the dress designs in your head, fashion magazines give you the luxury of merely showing it to your dress designer or dress maker and highlighting areas which you want altered.

3. One and One Makes One

Take an evening dress design worn by one Hollywood actress, and another worn by another Hollywood icon and mold them together to form a uniquely gorgeous evening dress. Other than being a “half-original”, you will have the privilege of choosing which designs to pick out and which to leave out.

4. Elegance Minus the Frills

A lot of the most gorgeous evening dresses actually have one or more of the following: frills, laces, feathers, sequins, crystals, diamonds, trains, corsets and double sided tapes. These are indeed lovely addition to their evening dresses. However, it does not necessarily mean it could work well for a mere mortal such as you. Have the dress made in a way that does not alter its elegance, yet takes away the frills, laces, feathers, sequins, crystals, diamonds, trains or the corsets – as well as the need for double sided tapes. Note: trains and frills are for wedding dresses. Laces and corsets are more fitting for a bridesmaid dress.

B2088

5. The color and the cut

The color may look perfect for the Hollywood star that you copied the evening dress design from, but that does not necessarily mean it will look great on your skin tone. The cut may suit her to a tee, but that does not mean it will have the same effect on you. Get inspiration from that Hollywood evening dress, but alter it to make it truly yours. Choose the right shade for your skin tone and choose the right cut for your body type.

Top 6 Color of Choice For Bridesmaid Dresses

Bridesmaid dresses, to the dismay of so many bridesmaids the world over, has a limited spectrum of colors to choose from. All thanks to the earnestness and the solemnity of weddings, bridesmaids cannot wear deep mourning purple, jet black, any variations of white, chocolate or mud brown, plaid, stripes or animal prints.

2500

So what are the colors suited for that occasion? What are the traditional shades when it comes to bridesmaid dresses? Bridal boutiques everywhere could assert that these are the top ten color of choice in bridesmaids dresses’ fabrics:

1. Peach

Who could not fall in love with the youthfulness, playfulness and sweetness of peach? It is the color that best signifies bridesmaids. Sweet, dazzling and charming. You could stay in church for a month and try to count how many weddings actually have bridesmaid dresses in peach. Why is peach one of the most favored colors? For one, its shade is timeless and elegant. It is one of the dress shades that withstood the test of time. Second, it is sunny and uplifting. Who could resist to smile upon seeing peach bridesmaids dresses?

2502

2. Pink

I’m talking light, soft pink. The baby’s blanket kind of pink. Not the sharp, loud pink most teenagers opt to dye their hair with. The light pink shades represent sweetness and love. Why else would Valentines Day cards have a generous touch of pink? Why else would wedding cakes have hear-shaped toppings in pink? Simple, because pink represents sweet, sweet love. Isn’t that what weddings are all about?

2508

3. Red

Not ruby red or blood red, mind you. A lot of bridesmaid dresses are within various shades of red. It could be maroon, or rose red. Either way, red signifies, more than anything, love. Love is exactly the reason why we have weddings in the first place. Red also signifies courage. Cynics say it takes bucketfuls of courage to take a walk down the aisle.

2509

4. Blue

Blue, as a wedding theme, and as bridesmaid dresses, is not at all surprising. Blue, after all, represents loyalty and faithfulness. You will be needing tons of that in marriage. The various shades of blue are also extremely pleasing to the eyes. Maybe because it reminds us of blue skies and sunny days and glorious walks along the park.

2510

5. Yellow

Yellow actually represents infidelity. But that belief held by thousands did not hinder yellow from creeping into wedding ceremonies. A lot of bridesmaid dresses are in variants of yellow. Why? For one, yellow is youthful. Yellow is also cheery, sunny and very uplifting. To sum it all up, yellow brings smiles. So why should it be banned from being worn as bridesmaid dresses?

2511

6. Green

Green, the color of hope, life and a fresh new start. No other color best represents weddings that this. Green is arguably the most widely used wedding motif since the turn of the century. After all, it best describes what weddings are all about –- hope, life and new beginnings
