Unique Wedding Dresses For the Modern Bride

Wedding Dresses are usually traditional white gowns with some beading or embroidery. Chances are, you want to be different and would like your bridal attire to reflect the ambiance of your wedding location. Sometimes, opting to wear a long white heavy wedding dress will just not do if you plan on getting married by the lake or sea shore. Take heart, you can also go against convention and start a fashion trend of your own.

Getting married by the lake during Spring will usually entail that you wear something light and airy. So, forget about donning a velvet or taffeta ball gown; and try a chiffon wedding dress with shawl for the twilight chill. You could also choose to wear a cotton dress; but for some an occasion as special as your wedding you might want to take it a notch farther. A colorful wedding dress in yellow, pink or lavender hues will be perfect set against the rich background of green and blue.

If you’re setting your sights on being wedded by the sea shore during the Summer, don’t just wear your swimsuit or bikini underneath your cotton sun dress. As a modern bride, you don’t want to be caught wearing a mundane wedding dress; so best if you wear a more expensive fabric such as georgette or organza. During the midday, when everything is hot and humid, these fabrics will remain airy. By nightfall, when the reception is at its full blast, your wedding dress will keep you warm. 

It’s a different story if you’re tying the knot on the snow capped mountains. A white wedding dress will just make you look like you’re part of the background. A rich red wedding dress on the other hand will emphasize your individuality and independence as you forgo with the traditional church wedding and simple, white gown. If you think swathing yourself in scarlet fabric is way too much, opt to wear a red bolero or have your wedding dress train and bodice embroidered with red stitching.

Vegas elopements are becoming popular, and if you wish to just run off and get married over the weekend, you need a quick fix on your wedding dress choice. Some Vegas brides think that they can just wear whatever they can throw together; but the reality is that you should always look your best. With hundreds of guests or just strangers watching you, you should be wearing an appropriate wedding dress. An evening gown would be suitable for this occasion, but do not wear darker and gloomy colors. A Red, Silver or Gold ensemble will be perfect for a Vegas bride.

It doesn’t matter where you’re getting married, you should slip into something that screams ‘happy bride’. A wedding dress completes a bride, without it, a bride would just be another woman taking a vow of commitment.
