The White Wedding Dress

We are used to how it has always been until we encounter evidence to the proof. White wedding gowns has been a traditional for long time. However, do you know what it is before that was true?

The history of white wedding gowns should back to the Victoria era. Queen Victoria was the first woman who wears white wedding gowns which would then have been considered a flamboyant white gown on her wedding ceremony in 1840. This gorgeous wedding gown did not start the tradition immediately; however, many women think this as a symbol of class and style and then they start to wear white wedding dresses in the wedding to copy Queen Victoria. After that, it spawns the interest and popularity of white wedding dresses as we know today.

Prior to this, the normal policy of wedding dresses was to wear good, new dresses, which could be used for formal occasions afterwards. For the nobility, they would like to choose wear very expensive clothes with gold thread. In that era, the length of the train symbolized the degree of influence on the Royals.

Nowadays, women all over the world are dreaming to have pure white wedding dresses for their wedding day. This tells us that the white wedding gowns of today is deep-seated tradition, and for many is worn to signify virtue as well as uphold tradition. We can heard from the marriage handbook that "from the earliest ages, that white is the most fitting hue". Even in the US in the history, it was normal to purchase a good dress for use as a wedding dress.

As Britain is a place where is populated with traditions and legends, so it is natural that the tradition of white wedding dresses was started by the English Monarchy. Until the First World War, wedding dresses grew more and more elaborate in Britain. Women are tending to like simple style and they also led to the abandonment of the corset and shorter skirts.

In the Great Depression period in the US, women will marry in a white gown but dye it into blue or other colors for normal wear. The funny thing you can see is that the collar and cuffs are still in white to show the original use of the dress.

Things have changed in the World War Two. Women gave up the fancy wedding because there is little time for them to plan a wedding. Besides, it is a normal thing that women who are in the service to marry in her uniform. Of course, there are still some women who did not in the service. For these people, they would choose a good and new dress for their wedding ceremony.

Then the prosperity period has coming. In this period, there are lots of special gowns that serve no other purpose than the wedding ceremony. Much like Queen Victoria, Princess Grace of Monaco set a standard of wedding dresses for women in the contemporary era on her wedding ceremony, showing them and those who came after them the criterion of the ideal wedding gowns.

Nowadays, wearing a white, extravagant gown was a sign that you could afford to buy a wedding dress that you maybe never be able to wear again because of its style and color. Of course, there are many colors of wedding dresses. However, white wedding dresses symbolize that this is your first wedding and it also means the virtue of your wedding. So people would choose white wedding gowns in their first wedding. However, if they have a second wedding, the brides would choose other colors of wedding gowns such as pink and blue.

With the time changes, brides in the new century would like to enjoy wedding in the color of their choice. Normal women have injected their own personality and style into the wedding dresses. We can see women are marrying in colors ranging from delicate ivory to deepest red and even black. For the Royalty, they still have favor in the traditional white wedding dresses. But the white wedding dresses can afford by many common people nowadays, so it cannot mark the stature of high society. So they choose something different to distinct from normal people with the most expensive silks, pearls and material possible.

Designer Wedding Gowns for 2011

Modern day designers of designer wedding gowns are really pulling out all the stops when it comes to creating beautiful and unique wedding gowns. As a bride, finding the perfect dress is a monumental part of the wedding preparations, if not your top priority. Some women have been dreaming about their wedding gown since they were a little girl, barely big enough to traipse around the house in their mother's high-heeled shoes. For others, the thought of finding the perfect wedding dress is really intimidating. No matter what kind of woman you are, here are some insider tips for choosing designer gowns.

Find the Right Shop

Choosing designer wedding gowns is no small decision. One way that you can greatly enhance your odds of finding the right wedding dress faster, is by choosing the right bridal boutique. A professional bridal boutique whether it is offline or online, should have a top of the line consulting team, and should be knowledgeable in the latest fashions. Your bridal consultant should be able to give you the inside scoop on designer gowns, letting you know off new trends that they are incorporating into their latest seasonal line.

Keep an Idea File

You may not know what designer wedding gowns you are looking for, but you probably know what you like and don't like. Start keeping a folder with pictures from magazines or that you found on the internet of gowns that love. Jot down some notes about what it is that you like about these dresses, and if there is anything you would want to change.Then when you are ready to start shopping, you will have a style in mind.

Remember Your Budget

Designer gowns are not cheap. If finances are an issue, consider what it is about the designer wedding gowns that have you so hooked. If you can find a dress that meets your dream idea but costs less, all the better for you. Another option that you might consider is buying a designer wedding gown from last season. These dresses will often be discounted because bridal boutiques want to stock their stores with most current fashions. Just because the dress is from a previous season, doesn't make it any less lovely, and perhaps more in your price range.

Try It On

You may have spent your entire life dreaming about wearing one of the Vera Wang designer wedding gowns, but how do you really know if it is the dress for you if you have never even tried it on. Our minds can run wild if we let them, so get grounded by trying on any wedding dress you may like. Certain wedding gowns may look very different in magazines then they do in real life, because in the magazines the dresses are tailored to the model and the photos are often altered and retouched.

Give Yourself Time

When you order a designer wedding gown, it will take time to be made. Remember that you will have several consultations before the 'Big Day' actually arrives, so having time on your side is an added bonus. You will also want to give yourself plenty of time to choose the right dress. Your wedding is the most important day of your life. You will look back on your pictures for many years to come - so take your time to make sure you get the dress just right.

Have Your Gown Cleaned and Sealed

It might seem silly to be thinking about this already, but it is really important to have your designer wedding gown cleaned and sealed after your special day. Your wedding dress will have sweat, make-up, and other debris after your enjoyable day of partying-getting it cleaned just ensures that you're keeping it in the best possible shape for storage. Having your dress sealed creates a barrier from unwanted moisture, preventing mold and also prevents unwanted insects like spiders, moths, and mites from attempting to build their nests in your gown. This not only preserves your wedding dress for its heirloom value, but if you decide to sell your dress or let someone else uses it at a later date - it will be worth it to be kept in pristine condition. Another thing you may want to consider is donating your designer wedding gowns for someone less fortunate to be able to have a feel special and have a beautiful wedding too.

Different Colored Wedding Gowns

Colored wedding gowns are nowadays acceptable in the world although the more traditional white or off-white gowns are still more general. Before, it used to be just the bridesmaids who can wear colored gowns but now, the more daring and modern brides opt to convey themselves and wear the colors that they like most.

More often than not, the colored wedding gowns harmonize with the color motif.

Mermaid Prom Dress

The mermaid prom dress has quite a unique form. The dress hugs the body from the chest all the way down to the knees or mid calf area. Then at the bottom, the dress suddenly flares out, resembling the tail of a mermaid, which is how it got its name.

The look of the mermaid prom dress can be varied in several ways. Light material like silk or satin can be used to create a more loose-fitting appearance, causing the dress to only hug the most extreme curves of the body. While stiffer fabrics can be used to give a sultrier look as the dress will tightly hug the contours of the body, drawing even more attention to the dramatic shape of the dress and consequently the girl's figure.

The hem and flair of the mermaid prom dress can also be changed to alter the overall look of the dress. It can flare out in different places above the knee, at the knee, or below the knee for different effects. The bottom of the dress can also be altered by from the traditional all around flair to either a behind only or an in front only flair.

It is because of the tight form fitting design that not everyone body type fits nicely in the mermaid prom dress. It is made specifically to hug and show off every curve of the body. It is best worn by girls with slender and athletic figures for a classy look, or girls who are thin at the waist but have specific curves they want to show off. Full figured girls are not advised to wear this dress as it will show off every curve, including those they'd rather not. Also, girls who are not confident shouldn't wear this dress, as it is snug and form fitting and not everyone is comfortable showing off all the curves that the mermaid prom dress showcases.

Beach Wedding Dresses
