Wedding Gown

Is there a gown that will make you feel like a princess? The real answer is "yes". Actually, there are thousands of gowns that will make you feel like a princess. But you are looking for the one that also expresses your personal style. Find out which style fits you best.

Most first-time brides select a ball gown. This type of gown is fitted at the bodice and well-defined at the waist. The skirt is very full and fun to wear. Most drawings and decorations that you see (like on the cake top) show a bride wearing a ball gown. An A-line dress is basically straight from the shoulders, somewhat fitted at the waist and spreads out just enough to walk comfortably. It’s a very elegant choice.

The trend for wedding gowns for 2005 and beyond is color—a touch here, a touch there of red, blue, gold or pink. Sleeveless gowns have been very popular in the early 2000s, but you will find many stunning long sleeve gowns perfect for winter weddings, and some with little cap sleeves for spring and fall. Another trend in gowns is beautiful lace. These gowns are more romantic and feminine.

Take pictures of your favorite gowns from magazines with you when you visit the bridal shop or your seamstress. Take your shoes and headpiece with you to appreciate the full presentation. And have patience—you may try on five, ten or twenty gowns before you find the right one.
