Before you start shopping for your gown, contemplate some of the other ways you can set the tone of your wedding. Consider the time, setting, size, and formality of your event. Think about your ideal vision of your wedding day...not just the location and dress, but the ceremony and reception décor and the overall atmosphere. Is your ideal celebration a relaxed, informal gathering among your closest friends and family, or do you envision a major event with hundreds of guests from near and far? Do you have specific ideas in mind for colors or themes or are you open to a more casual, eclectic look? Our Dress Your WeddingTM interactive feature will help you bring your vision to life. Personalize your entire party then mix and match hundreds of fashions and accessories to see how they look in a variety of settings.
Once you decide on the ambiance you want to evoke, finding your bridal gown and accessories will naturally fall into place. Your wedding vision can help inspire your gown search, but by no means are there hard rules you have to follow. In the coming weeks, we will show you a variety of ways to help find the perfect dress and create the wedding of your dreams. Remember, the most important thing is that your gown reflects your personal style and makes you look and feel beautiful.
Seeking fashion advice to coordinate your dress with your ceremony or reception? Look no further. Add a splash of color to your gown and tie your total wedding together with color. Planning a gorgeous backdrop, such as a destination wedding or open-air venue? Opt for soft, flowing dresses that move as you walk along the beach, garden, backyard or vineyard. Perhaps a formal affair is more your style? A change of accessories and - voila - the same elegant gown will look just as exquisite as you make your grand entrance at a romantic castle, country club or city soiree. Envisioning a more casual or modern wedding? Choose a sleek sheath or simple dress if that's your style...or go all out with a highly embellished gown and all the glittering details. For formal weddings, your choices are endless, from elegant sheaths to classic A-lines to full ball gowns. Look to Dress Your WeddingTM to help you pull together all the details.
Wondering if the time of year will play a role in the bridal fashions you choose? Once again, do not feel pressured to follow any standard rules. You can wear a strapless dress for any season. Worried about the cold weather? Consider adding stylish sleeves, a wrap, bolero, or cape. The added coverage will keep you fashionably warm...and you'll have the option of removing the bridal outerwear at your reception, creating a whole new look! Almost anything goes for spring and summer weddings, from timeless tulle and lace to the modern look of chiffon and satin. Elegant sheaths and embellished ball gowns create a sophisticated look for any time of year.
Concerned about wedding fashion faux pas or etiquette dilemmas? The modern approach is to consider all of the cultural and traditional customs, but make your decisions with your heart. After all, it is your special day and you should celebrate it your way. Get the idea? The most important thing is that you feel beautiful, confident and comfortable...then you will glow.
