Wedding Style: The Wedding Dress

A wedding is one of the most important days in a person’s life. It is one that will be memorialized in hundreds of pictures and remembered by guests for years. For these reasons, everyone wants to look their best on this special occasion, whether you are the bride, groom, maid of honor, or even a guest. Look at this amazing gown by Monique Lhuillier!

Here are a few pieces of advice when looking for “the dress.” First, be sure to keep your venue in mind. Are you getting married on the beach, in a barn, or in a church? Second, discuss your budget before you go shopping. We don’t want you falling in love with something you can’t have! Finally, be true to your personal style. What’s most important is that you are happy on your wedding day. Source: Style Me Pretty

Royal Wedding Dress

Many brides opt to wear strapless gowns. In selecting your wedding gown, would you go "royal" and wear sleeves?

Bustling A Wedding Dress

This week the ladies of Coastside Couture did a post on bustling your wedding dress. Please check-out the article. This is such a great topic because there are several ways to bustle a wedding gown and you want to make sure that your bustle is sturdy, so you're not spending the night stepping on your dress and it's easy to bustle when it is time to hit the dance floor. The best bustle for ease and the least amount of trouble is the one that uses different color ribbons. Make sure that you take your mom, maid of honor or bridesmaid with you to your last fitting so that they are clear on where the bustle points are for your dress.
