Make Them Remember Your Wedding Day with Killer Wedding Dresses

One of the first questions people ask when they talk about weddings is “what did the bride wear?” Yes, finding the right man is the hardest step, but finding the right wedding gown among a see of worthy wedding dresses is a close second. And when all is said and done and years have passed by, will your guests look back and say, “I remember the day that you got married?” for the right reasons?

Every Bride Has The Right To Wear White

Even Ms. Manners says so, but you don’t have to if you don’t want to. What’s more important is that you find a style from the many wedding dresses that will look good on YOU and that you will feel comfortable wearing.

Know your body type. Are you round, inverted triangle, pear, hourglass, or diamond? If you think that your neckline and shoulder line are your strong points, and you are up to it, show it. You can wear your hair up, then accentuate with a necklace or a choker. If it’s your hips, choose one of those wedding dresses that will highlight this feature. If you feel you must, you can “hide” unbecoming features in flowing styles, or ruffles.

Custom-made wedding dresses are unique and reflect your personality. However, having a wedding dress made takes time, at least two months (really) from concept to actuality. After all the waiting and the fitting, and artistic differences with your couturier, the gown as an idea on paper may look pretty different from the reality on cloth.

On the other hand, ready-made wedding dresses from a popular bridal shop solve many of these problems, but you may end up hearing “That gown is just like the one my cousin wore on her wedding”, despite all your efforts to alter it and add trimmings. As for make-up, more is less. Brides glow with the beauty of a happiness that comes from being in love. There is no need to pile on the cosmetics, just put on enough to enhance that glow. A Little Something Extra

Sure, they’ll remember the gown and how good you looked, but a little wedding favor to jog the memory won’t hurt. Many wedding favors has ended up in the boxed limbo of useless little knickknacks that will never again see the light of day, so make your favors simple, personal, and if you can, useful. Steer away from the favors that are nothing but keepsakes. Very few people actually keep them. It is customary to give them away on the day of the wedding itself, but these maybe given out after, with the “thank you” cards. At this point, you may even be able to give out pictures from the wedding.

What Will They Remember?

Your wedding is a day to remember, but for it should be reasons that you want. Bother with the details, they do count. Have your loved ones and friends recall that it was a special day, and that you have made them a part of it.

What Wedding Dress Are You Wearing?

Getting married used to be a simple task – find the right man, ask for your parents’ approval, wear mom’s wedding gown, and walk down the aisle. Now, it’s a little more complicated, and of course, there’s no way you’re wearing what mom had worn. It’s a little outdated. Your wedding dress should feature the latest in wedding gown styles. If you can’t find the gown of your dreams, don’t fret, that’s just the proverbial tip of the iceberg. There’s more where that came from.

White? After Labor Day?

To wear white on your wedding day is your right, but it’s also your choice. With a wedding dress, the possibilities are endless. White, off-white, or white with trimmings, you can find it if you know where to look. Bear in mind that everyone has different body types, and different tastes. Take the time to look for the wedding dress of your dreams, try it on, and see if it works for you. You don’t simply need to imagine if the material will fall the right way, you need to actually see it. Neither should you worry about the fit because alterations can be made at your convenience. The gown you want is waiting for you.

The Total Package

Since you’re not walking down that aisle alone, make a stunning entrance and dress your bridesmaids in beautiful bridesmaid dresses. Get rid of the notion that bridesmaids’ dresses are horrible fashion statements, and hear the words “exquisite” instead. It can be sweet and simple, classy and elegant, or sexy and stylish. It could be a full gown, a mini dress, or anything in between. It’s your choice and they will love you for it. You can also include your bridesmaids in the decision making process to make sure that everyone’s happy. After all, you’re not the only who should look good on your wedding day.

Now imagine the awed silence as you walk in with your own wedding dress, be it a form-fitting, strapless number from Alfred Sung, a daring corseted gown from the My Lady collection, a wonderful ruffled and girlish Tulipia dress, or an elegant classic from Mori Lee. If you’re a stickler for details, you might as well find the right cake among the many wedding cakes in Toronto to get everything coordinated. Naturally, you can’t forget your shoes, makeup, and hairstyle.

The Million Dollar Look

You should have a look to go for, but not necessarily spend a lot for it. There are many shops offering dresses at reasonable prices and discounts. You don’t have to make that guesstimate on how much to spend, and you don’t have to compromise on the quality, not just for you, but for your whole entourage, no matter what the color motif or the time of day you’re having your wedding. It’s not going to be easy. But it’ll be worth it. After all, you must only have the best on your wedding day – wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses, cakes, accessories and all!

Runaway Brides, Jilting Grooms and Wedding Dresses

Cold feet – these are two simple words that can mean plenty of things beyond their dictionary meanings. For a podiatrist, cold feet are cold sensations to the feet owing to poor circulation, nervous system disorders and low thyroid condition. For engaged couples, cold feet is trouble brewing on the horizon of marital bliss even before you can enter the wedded state. In short order, brides can say goodbye to their wedding dresses. Sad but true.Just imagine being the runaway bride leaving your groom at the altar, waiting for nothing while the guests are left to wonder and wander. On the other side of the wedding jitters fence, imagine being the jilted bride waiting for your groom to come to his own wedding. (“Where could he have gone to this time?” you ask. You should have known that when he missed his final rehearsal dinner by becoming dead drunk, he probably will not attend your wedding. But that is digressing)

If you have been on both sides of the fence or you know many people who have been there and done that, here are perfectly logical suggestions to dispose of those dresses, maybe even make a few bucks along the way.

Sell On Auction Sites

Just as there are many jilted and jilting brides, there are also enchanted brides. You can sell wedding dresses through online auction sites like eBay, UBid Online Auctions, Amazon and Yahoo! Auctions where you can be as honest as you want or you can be as sly as you need to be. If you cannot let the whole world know of your dirty deed, you can always go to the thrift stores and sell your wedding dress for a discount.

Of course, you cannot expect to sell your wedding dress for its original value! Still, it certainly beats having it inside your closet and reminding you of your brush with disaster and of your tragedy, whatever is the case.

Donate to Charities

You might not make a buck but you can change somebody else’s luck with your donation of wedding frock. (Not yours only, of course. You can include your friends’ bridesmaid and bridal ensembles, too. That is, if they want to.)

For example, you can give your wedding dress to the Brides Against Breast Cancer/Making Memories Foundation. You will be contributing to a worthy cause from an unworthy affair, which is a good way as any to dispose of your wedding dress.

Recycle It into Something Else

If you are into arts and crafts, then you can always recycle, re-sew and reincarnate wedding dresses. After all, each and every part of your bridal ensemble can be put to good use from the cloth to the embroidery. You can turn it into pillowcases, doll dresses, handkerchiefs, photo album cover, small handbags, tablecloths and napkins, and even a shawl. Indeed, why give away a perfectly good piece of expensive cloth when you can use it yourself sans the fanfare?

Now, supposing you go the route of Maggie Carpenter (the title character of the movie “Runaway Bride”), you know what to do with all your wedding dresses to make it worth your while. Of course, you can always stomp on them, tear them to shreds, burn them to hell and throw them down a cliff never to be seen again, but then what good would that be?

Wedding Dresses From Men’s Point of View

When it comes to weddings, it is the always the women’s point of view that is scored and quartered. Haven’t anybody thought about asking men what they would like their brides to wear when it comes to wedding dresses?

What Men Would Like If They Had the Chance

When women shop for their wedding dresses, do they ask the opinion of their grooms? Most would rather surprise their men and anyway choosing the wedding gown is their right. Ask any woman if she would let her man decide what she should wear for the wedding rites and get a baleful glare in return. The wedding dress is the be all and end all and it should be as perfect as the stunning gown in their minds. Why let men ruin their fairytale?

But hear it from men. They love to ogle women in tight fitting pants and micro mini-skirts but when it comes to their women, they are stricter than the Benedictine monks are. So it’s not unusual if men would love to have their brides wear wedding dresses that:

* show curves but not much skin
* have moderately low necklines
* have no thigh high slits to distract other men
* are simple with less frills
* traditional in cut and design

But not all men have the same tastes and some men do have some weird ideas of women’s fashion especially wedding dresses. The avant-garde will approve a racy wedding gown or something out of the traditional culture.

Men’s Point of View

When it comes to women’s wardrobes men have a lot to say about the following:

* spandex under dresses
* pointy toed shoes
* leggings worn under dresses
* Uggs
* huge drugstore sunglasses
* short shirts worn over tight pants

What does your man hate about your style? You know by his pleadings not to wear those crazy fashions he cannot understand and those volcanic red lipsticks, Fidel Castro hats, pregnant look, crocs, and hottie shirts that drive him batty. As a compromise, hear what he has to say about your wedding dress but be prepared to argue.

Perhaps your man wants you all covered with a high necked gown and your slender arms sheathed in long white gloves when you want an off-the-shoulder creation. It would excite him to watch you do a special striptease for him during the first night you share as husband and wife – that is if you still have the energy for some blood racing and adrenalin pumping private show.

Maybe he loves your legs and would want the world to know what you got so he will ask you to wear a mini wedding dress even when you want a princess gown. Well, this will have you mourning over the fairy tale wedding dresses you have designed since you were a little girl, but your man has a point here, right?

Would You Agree to His Fantasies?

Crazy as it may seem, women do forego their dream wedding dresses when they like the idea of wearing something out of the ordinary that goes with the wedding theme. If you love him too much, then say goodbye to fairytale wedding dresses if he wants a beach party themed wedding.
