Informal Wedding Dresses
The reality of informal wedding dresses is that when you choose a more simple look for your wedding outfit, you automatically become the star attraction - and not your gown!
One of the biggest bridal fashion faux pas is that brides go overboard for decking themselves out for their special occasion! If your goal is to be the most stunning and lovely creature that your groom has ever beheld, then you will certainly wish to keep your bridal gown and accessories informal and simple, drawing the focus onto yourself, and not your bridal outfit.
There are so many awesome and impressive informal wedding gowns from which you can choose, for your understated and elegant entry into your wedding ceremony.
If you wish to get married in a National Park or a lovely city park location, then you should keep the length of your informal wedding gown short, and certainly not any longer than just above ankle length. You should definitely forgo a wedding dress train when doing an outdoor wedding ceremony, as the fabric of the train can become soiled or ripped.
If you have decided upon a waterfront or beach bridal ceremony, then you may wish to leave off long sleeves from your dress, and instead choose short sleeves or beaded straps.
You also have quite a bit of choice for the materials and fabrics that are conducive to an understated wedding gown. I have seen darling crocheted or knitted lace dresses that were very pretty, and yet had that enticing informal flair to them.
These brides either made their wedding ensemble themselves, or a beloved grandmother, aunt or even their mother spent time lovingly stitching one for the beloved bride. These informal gowns end up becoming cherished family heirlooms.
As far as adding accessories and headpieces to a informal wedding dresses, I have seen some very impressive results from the traditional free form wire and bead or semi precious stone and fresh water pearl tiaras, for accenting the bride's gown.
These unique and one of a kind wedding headpieces are a very pretty option to wearing a traditional veil. You can still wear a bridal tiara while dancing, without snagging a veil. You can also accent an informal bridal gown with simple flowers or even tastefully arranged ribbons in you bridal hairdo that will still give you a fresh and pretty look.

Elegant Lace Wedding Dresses
The Lace wedding dresses are either loved for their feel and romanticism or hated, for their ability to be transported into doily esque frocks. Some brides don't like the 'all too laced' look. Some dresses have a deep V-neck and the laced wedding dress designs fall in a mermaid line and give the bride an hourglass shape.
Lace Wedding Dresses
If you are the type of bride-to-be that is looking for a wedding gown that has some, or a lot of lace, there are a few things that you should know before you purchase your special dress.
One thing is for sure, lace wedding dresses have been around for hundreds of years. And for some brides they are just as popular to day as they where centuries ago.
Today's Bride looking for that special dress with lace needs to remember that years ago lace was mostly made of fine cotton threading so it was considerably softer than some of today's versions. Now that is not to say that you can not find lace wedding gowns that are soft to the touch, but you certainly need to be mindful of the type of lace and where it is at on the gown in proximity to your skin.
Whether you are feeling vintage or simply wanting a more traditional look to your gown, you can usually tell how soft the lace on any wedding dress is by how it lays and by what material it is next to or layered with.
If it is the softer type made of silk or cotton, or in some cases a finer nylon or polyester, it will lay flatter and have a fluffier look to it. Whereas a stiffer lace will possible backed up by a material like tulle or a have satin behind it.
That's the beauty of lace. You can have a very soft and flowing look on a gown that is mostly chiffon, silk or a lighter weight satin. Or you can go bolder and get a gown that is covered in lace with the unique addition of organza, tulle or matte satin. This is for the bride that likes texture and interesting details.
Consider adding a veil with a hem in the matching lace from your dress. This will bring your whole look together.
You can also research vintage laces online and even incorporate your favorite design into your cake and wedding favors.
There's a lot to love about lace and with a little knowledge, you can choose lace wedding dresses that are a true expression of who you are.

Buying a Wedding Dress - Stories for You
If you're feeling a tad overwhelmed by wedding preparations and agonizing over your wedding dress, you may want to take a break, sit and lounge on your favorite armchair, and curl up with a good book. We'd like to suggest My Wedding Dress: True-Life Tales of Lace, Laughter and Tulle published last month (January 2007) by Random House (ISBN: 978-0-676-97846-9; 0-676-97846-0). It's an anthology of thoughtful essays that cover the full range of bridal sentiments, before and after the wedding. One of the contributors said that "the most important thing about the dress was that it wasn't white, it wasn't long and it had not a whisper of tradition clinging to it."
There are about 26 essays from different women who talked about their wedding dresses and some of them, already divorced, described how their dress "felt all wrong" or "didn't fit" or "it just wasn't me."
By taking time off from wedding preparations, you can re-charge yourself by reading about weddings. Wedding stories never fail to bring a warm glow to heart or trigger your love for laughter. For example, we looked for a story about wedding dresses and we found a funny one online from the Canadian Press (May 2005). It tells the story about a couple, Christopher Cummings and Charity O'Brien, both from Missouri, who got married on the Mendenhall Glacier in Alaska. The title of the news story caught our attention: Weddings on Ice. Exchanging Vows on Alaskan Glaciers.
Guess what the bride wore to her glacier wedding?
The usual, white traditional - complete with sequins. But what else did she wear with it? We've chosen this paragraph and want to share it with you:
"The bride wore a curvy, strapless white satin gown sprinkled with sequins. She also had on tights, sweat pants, rain pants and a pair of hefty hiking boots fitted with spikes."
"The groom was charmed. 'That's the way she is...' 'although the dress was a surprise.'
Don't forget. YOU get to choose, not anyone else. It's personal, it's special, and it's an occasion that may happen only once in your life.

Simple White Wedding Dress
Simple wedding dresses do not have to be boring! But rather, they are a great way to show yourself as a very elegant and sophisticated bride.
Rent White Wedding Dress
Renting your wedding dress is a great way to save on wedding day expenses. Some brides prefer to keep their wedding dress forever and it has a sentimental value to them while to other brides, they can be done with the dress the day after the wedding. If you fall into the second category then a wedding dress rental is for you.

Renting your wedding dress/Gown is a great way to save on wedding day expenses. Some brides prefer to keep their wedding dress forever and it has a sentimental value to them while to other brides, they can be done with the dress the day after the wedding. If you fall into the second category then a wedding dress rental is for you.
Rent Short Wedding Dresses
There is no doubt that your wedding dress will be one of the most expensive items in your wedding. In fact, you can save a fortune if you are going to rent the wedding gown. Renting a gown is also considered environmental friendly. However, renting a wedding gown is not the same as buying a new one because you have to return it after your wedding. In order to prevent unnecessary arguments with the bridal shop or the wedding dress shop, you should bear the following points in mind.
Tips to Rent a Wedding Dress
Place your order as early as possible
Since it will certainly take some time for the alterations of the gown in order to make it fit your body, you should place your order to rent it at least half year before your big day. You may need to place the order even earlier if you are going to do that in the peak seasons.
Check the gown carefully when you pick it
You have to check the wedding dress with the greatest care when you pick it. You need to check if there are dirt and damages on the gown. You will then drop down everything about the dirt and damages on the contract before signing it.
This is very important if money saving is the main reason for you to rent the gown. You will certainly rent an older gown with a lower price. However, there will usually be more dirt and damages on such a gown (since it is an older one). If you do not check all the problems of it carefully and drop notes about that, it can be sure that you will just be arguing with the people from the bridal shop when you return the gown.
Pick the wedding dress yourself
You should not ask others to pick the gown for you. This is because they cannot try the wedding dress for you when they pick it. You should spend the time to pick it yourself. If you find that the gown does not fit when you are trying it, you can ask for alterations right the way. You may not have enough time to bring the gown to the shop again for alternations if you are having others to pick it for you.
Pick the gown a few days before your wedding
You should pick your wedding dress at least a few days before your wedding. If you really find that the wedding dress does not fit, you can still allow the shop a few days to alter the dress for you. Of course you should not pick it too early either since you may become fatter or slimmer (it should be slimmer, I bet) after you pick the gown.
Ask about the penalties if the gown is damaged
You will also need to ask about the penalties if you damage the gown. The penalties will certainly be different for different shops. Dropping down all the penalties may be involved if the gown is damaged will be a crucial step. Otherwise it will just render unnecessary arguments

Rent Long Wedding Dresses
Are you going to buy a wedding dress or to rent one? Everyone has her own idea: to buy one is suitable and you can choose freely; to rent one can save you a lot of money, which way will you choose?
Rent Wedding Dresses-Gown
Wedding Dresses - To Own or To Rent?
Before you give your wedding vow "to have and to hold, 'til death do us part", you'll have to decide if you are going to own or rent one of those lovely wedding dresses on the rack.
Heads or Tails
It's never too early to shop for your wedding gown, and shopping around is just making sure you've seen everything before deciding on one of the wedding dresses you've tried on. You can initially check out the bridal sites on the Internet and compare services, as well as prices.
It's also a fact that 10% of the wedding budget goes to the wedding dress, so it's a toss up between renting or owning your wedding gown. But at this point, decide if you're going to buy your wedding gown off the rack, rent it, or have one of those wedding dresses copied and modified for your custom-made bridal gown.
There are only two reasons for buying or renting a wedding gown - one is for sentimental reasons, and the other is for practical reasons. If you want to keep the wedding gown and pass it on to your daughter or daughter-in-law, buy your wedding gown, but if you think you can't be lugging a wedding gown around all those years, then rent the designer gown that looks good on you.
Tips in Renting Wedding Gowns
Bridal gowns are rented out for as high as $250 or as low as $150. Some rental shops will charge you a package deal that includes accessories. Visit the shops and personally try on the gowns for size and select the veil, tiara, shawl, and other items to go with it.
Depending on the time of year, you will have to rent the gown ahead of time - a year before the wedding if your wedding month falls on those peak seasons. June brides and prom nights can trigger a price increase in rentals.
Carefully check the wedding dresses for stains, dirt, and rips before signing a rental contract, and ask about the penalties for damaged gowns. Pick up the gown on the agreed date. Should there be any further alterations, these can be done immediately before the date of the wedding.
Tips in Buying Your Bridal Gown
Since most bridal shops won't allow you take pictures of the wedding dresses in their shops, you'll have to take along a friend who has a good fashion sense. Before you put on the dress, take a look at the rows of dresses that fall under your price range of $1000 or $500, whether you want a brand-new designer dress or a discounted gown.
Before stepping into a shop, make up your mind about the gown's length, sleeve style, neckline, and waistline. You can make the task easier by having a picture of your ideal wedding gown or something close to it so that the shop consultant can immediately find the gown that you want. Don't go for too much alterations or modifications as the dressmaker will charge more than you expected.
Whether you're buying or renting, don't let the salespersons intimidate you and hurry you to a sale. Remember it's your wedding and you want to look your best. Now, it's up to you if you're going to buy or rent one of those wedding dresses.
