Choose a Perfect Wedding Dress before your ‘I do’s’

If there is any designer we should be looking at for styles of wedding dresses this season it’s got to be Vera Wang. As the hot months approach, light and airy dresses are perfect and I doubt Vera’s spring 2010 wedding dresses collection could disappoint the springtime bride. The collection is perfect for all sorts of weddings, be it at a beach, church, or even a modern reception. Her designer dresses this season were very feminine with the use of layers, soft fabrics and gentle pastel colors. Her designer dresses collection included wedding dresses which had layers and layers of pale pink tulle. One of these dresses was an empire-cut wedding dress. The glittering band on the bust added an air of sophistication to this style. Other wedding dresses took on the classic ballgown shape but with an updated look with a-symmetrical layers and over-sized tulle bows. Her bridal dresses collection included many over-sized bows this season and in some wedding dresses the over-sized bows resembled butterflies. Again subtle touches and elements of pale pink are used in her dresses collection for brides.

Strapless dresses have dominated wedding dresses over the years. To update this winning style of the ever-popular strapless silhouette, opt for shoulder detailing, with a-symmetric one-shoulder styles taking their cue from the runway collections. Not only is this style popular in evening dresses, it’s also an elegant style for wedding dresses this season. The shoulder area has become more prominent over the past two seasons in fashion. Instead of shoulder padding, off- the- shoulder bridal dresses adorned with bows and sparkle detailing make the shoulder a focal point again.

Several styles of dresses from the forties and fifties are rising again. These vintage dresses include styles such as the ball gown dresses, as seen in Vera Wang’s collection, the mermaid dresses, and the classic 1950’s housewife dresses! I know, I know ‘ the 1950’s isn’t really for everyone but those of you who prefer old school styles of dresses may just love the throwback to the 50’s.

An emphasis on the waist continues in wedding dresses, with many designers featuring corset style tops and ribbon detailing with bows. The ballgown style of dresses provides tight waist styling and detailing.

Vintage dresses can also look smart on a bride, and in particular the tea-length dresses come just below the knee. These wedding dresses are super stylish, and look great strapless or with plunging necklines.

Lastly, I love the Grecian wedding dresses. The Grecian look can be achieved by a long, silhouette of a dress, with a slight flowing feel or by using many layers that overlap one another. Go for a halter or off the shoulder neckline with these wedding dresses.
