Wedding Dresses

Just around the corner in every woman’s mind – is a lovely dress, a wonderful suit, or entire costume which will make an enchanting new creature of her.

All this wedding talk around my house reminds me of something I’ve asked my friends for years – Wouldn’t it be fun to try on wedding dresses? Just for something different, I add as they look at me like I have holes in my head. Truly, though, wouldn’t it be fun? I’m sure bridal wear proprietors wouldn’t mind a gaggle of old women, primed from their margarita lunch, invading their store to pretend they can still pull off wearing white.

Maybe they offer a magic mirror that proffers the body and skin from way back when. And the energy.

While searching the wedding sites to study the groom’s mother responsibilities, I wandered down different avenues in the wedding journey. The life of the groom’s mother is fairly boring in the wedding map and one night I found myself segueing to a wedding dress site. I’ve often wondered what style I might choose for myself with tastes of a 52 year old woman. Today, I want the one pictured above.

I found the beauty on the Priscilla of Boston wedding dress site. (I doubt they’ll mind me advertising for them.)When you click on the dresses, the model walks down the runway. Since I was dreaming, I only chose those over $5000. I had the most fun and killed at least a couple of hours.

Of course, I want it all – the youth, the body that comes with the model in the dress. Especially the long gloves that bring on the elegance. Okay, so I want to feel enchanted, without all the nerves of a wedding day. I can still imagine, can’t I?

Looking at my wedding pictures, my dress has the definite stamp of the late 70’s.

And standing here with my sweetie, ready for the party part to begin.

In August, 31 years have passed since I walked down the aisle. A gentleness of excitement existed at that time — the advent of a new adventure. Uncertainty and wonder at what the choices made might bring. Oh, what a ride it has been — and continues each day.

Thirty years ago I had my wedding dress cleaned and packaged in a box for posterity. I think that box occupies the back of the closet underneath the stairs. What was the purpose of preserving it in such a manner? I have no daughter who might want to wear it. I couldn’t get my left arm in the Size 5 dress today. But stuffed in the closet doesn’t seem fitting either.

One year at a Halloween party, my friend wore her wedding gown from her first marriage. That she could still get into it 20 years later impressed the hell out of me. Impressed me more that she pinned “dead” worms on it and smeared dirt on her face and the dress. Made herself look just like a bride from the grave. Oh, Halloween. Brings out the best of us, doesn’t it? I believe I went as a pig – a costume I’d made for my husband years earlier. Died pink long underwear with ten baby bottle nipples inserted on the front, a cute pig nose, and pink pipe cleaner twirling from my tail.

I digress.

The point was, maybe I should dig my wedding dress out of the depths of the closet, take a look at it. Spread it out on the couch. Trace the lace between my hands. I won’t pin dead worms to it or smudge garden dirt anywhere (although some days I might feel like that.) Perhaps I’ll just gaze at it and recall the day when promises were made with love in our hearts and eyes — and hope for another 31 years of life together.

Wedding Dresses – Getting the Best for your Budget by Elsie Gilbert

Weddings are a very expensive business and costs can quickly spiral out of control if you don’t set a wedding dress budget. Most brides want to ensure that they look their best, so it is little wonder that wedding dresses are the one area that seems reliably to run over budget in almost any wedding arrangement.

But, you don’t need to spend a fortune in order to look stunning and to generate admiring glances from all around. Wedding dresses are a matter of very personal choice and it is often the case that imagination can be a much greater asset than pure cash!

Wedding Dresses – Clever (and cheap) Ideas for those on a Budget

Most weddings have an underlying theme and wedding dresses should be included within this theme. For example, if you are having a medieval theme, it is possible to choose a darker bodice or even an impressive hairpiece to accentuate an otherwise very plain dress.

As a general rule, wedding dresses do not need to over elaborate. One, well-thought out accessory can be much more effective than a very large and excessive dress. A plain dress is often a lot cheaper and with a little thought, a classic, simple style can actually look more sophisticated. Many brides often change their wedding dresses, before the evening celebrations, as these formal style dresses tend to be cumbersome and heavy.

Doesn’t this seem like a huge waste of money? Why not have two-piece wedding dresses that will allow you to change your skirt for a shorter, lighter version, whilst keeping the shaped bodice as well as any theme that you have developed?

Wedding Dresses – The Key to Accessorizing

Depending on your body shape and the type of wedding you are creating, different wedding dresses will suit different accessories. For example, if you are considering the traditional tight bodice, tapered in at the waist and flowing freely over the legs, you may like to concentrate on accessorizing your middle with the use of a thin belt. As every bride wants to look her best, accessories should be used to accentuate your assets. By using key accessories, wedding dresses can remain rather plain and simple, meaning that they are not only cheaper, but may actually be usable for other occasions, in the future.

A bride with a fuller waist but an impressive bust may wish to consider wedding dresses that simply skim the middle part of her body and cling to the bust and hip area. In these instances, it is worth drawing attention to your neckline with a large necklace or even a shawl. Take some time to shop around for those finishing touches; sometimes there is nothing better than a pure, single fresh flower, so don’t always assume that expensive is best. Think simple and think classic. Plain wedding dresses can be just as effective as the most sensational designer wedding dresses, if given the personal touch. Above all, your dress is guaranteed to be unique!
