We often forget that while weddings are one of the most fabulous and special moments of a couple’s life, they can also be very stressful, especially when it comes to choosing the gown. Many brides begin their search for that perfect wedding dress even before a ring is on their finger, which is why it is always helpful to be aware of the top designer wedding dress styles.

Deciding which designer wedding dress style to go with can be a very, very difficult decision for a bride-to-be. This decision, although quite fun in the making, can be very daunting and can end up leading to major frustration and even some inevitable “bridezilla” moments for the most subdued and organized bride. If there is anything any wedding needs less, it is an unhappy bride.

We have all heard that the wedding dress is the highlight of the day, of course aside from seeing the blushing bride make her entrance and way down the aisle. So much emphasis and importance is placed on the wedding dress, the bride may end up feeling a lot of pressure when it comes time to make that important decision. The secret to finding the right designer wedding dress is to find one that you can afford that also makes you feel happy and beautiful while flattering your figure.

Why Choose a Designer Wedding Dress
Choosing to go for a designer wedding dress is a great way to obtain the perfect wedding gown. Working one-on-one with the designer will allow you to feel in control of what you are getting, in control of your finances, and in control of the overall look and style of your dress. While the designer will do most of the hard work, he or she will work closely with you to make sure that you are happy and love the gown for your big day.
If you are going to choose a designer wedding dress for your special day, it is imperative that you think about the different dress styles before you even walk through the designer’s door. One of the most important things to consider when choosing a designer wedding dress is your personal style and taste. There are so many different designer wedding dress styles to choose from that you may just need to flip through some wedding magazines before speaking to your designer.

How Designer Wedding Dresses Differ
Today, simple and elegant bridal gowns are very much the norm with less emphasis placed on excessive beading and embellishments. This is not to say that these designer wedding dress styles are boring and bland. It is actually quite the opposite. With simple and elegant dress styles, it is all about the fabric and the color. Wispy silk chiffon in layers of ivory and white give spring brides the ethereal look of a garden fairy. Colorful silk gowns allow for winter brides to pop with beauty and individuality.

While the color and fabrics of designer wedding dresses change from season to season, the main styles do not. If you are the type of bride that loves the “tried and true” looks always keep these classic designs in mind. The a-line, or princess, the ball gown, the sheath, the empire, and the mermaid are all designer wedding dress styles that will never go out of fashion. The secret to which is best for you will always be determined by which one makes you feel the prettiest and which one flatters your figure the most.

Getting a Deal on Designer Wedding Dresses
Regardless of which designer wedding dress style you end up choosing, getting a deal is always a welcome attribute of the experience. We all know that a custom-made designer wedding dress can cost a pretty penny, so why not shop around. Visit a local designer or dressmaker and see if they have any floor samples or runway samples that can be sold for a reduced price.

If you have already found the designer dress of your dreams but it is too far out of your price range, why not take a photograph (from a magazine, for example) to a dressmaker and see if he or she can make their own version of it (Example: www.anyweddingdress.ca ). Or you can buy a cheaper and used one from www.preownedweddingdresses.ca .There is no shame in saving money on your wedding dress, and it’s great to know that you can get a beautiful designer wedding dress even if you’re on a budget. Every woman deserves to feel like the most beautiful woman in the world on her wedding day, and as long as your wedding dress makes you feel like a beautiful bride, there is no reason not to choose the most elegant designer wedding dress available.

Why Design Your Own Wedding Dress?

My opinion is “I feel every bride designs her dress in some form or fashion. You likely will are able to find what you have in mind among the many wedding dress designs the designers have created.

But you may be a bride who wants a unique design for your wedding dress. You can’t find the exact dress you want anywhere. In this case, you will need to take a picture to a sewing professional to have a custom made wedding gown created.

Perhaps you are thinking of having a wedding gown re-designed. Re-designing can be done to a newly purchased gown or one that is a second hand wedding dress. . . Had you considered doing this?

Re-designing a bridal gown can be done to most styles if you want minor modifications, additions or deletions to your gown. This is a way to add your personal touch to any wedding gown.

“I find that many brides don’t realize this can be done.”

And lastly . . . if you make your own wedding dress you need to design your wedding dress first on paper to have something to refer to when working on your wedding dress pattern.

The White Wedding Dress

Today brides are still wearing the traditional white wedding dress however many brides choose Ivory or off white, depending on their skin tone and colouring. We at AnyWeddingDress.ca have hand made gorgeous wedding dresses for brides in many different colours but it seems most brides still have a tendency towards the traditions of old.

Being a lover of poetry myself I quote you the an old poem which suggests how the colour of your dress can influence your future marriage:

“Married in white, you will have chosen all right.

Married in grey , you will go far away.

Married in black, you will wish yourself back.

Married in red, you’ll wish yourself dead.

Married in blue, you will always be true.

Married in pearl, you’ll live in a whirl.

Married in green, ashamed to be seen,

Married in yellow, ashamed of the fellow.

Married in brown, you’ll live out of town.

Married in pink, your spirits will sink.”

by Kelsey McIntyre

Did you know that wedding gowns were not always white. History has played an influence in the traditions of today and as far back as 1840 The marriage of Queen Victoria to her cousin Albert of Saxe-Coburg has had a great influence on weddings. Queen Victoria set the trend by marrying in white however brides continued to get married in bridal gowns of different colours but white was seen as the colour of choice. White symbolizes a bride’s virginity and innocence.

Edwardian brides became more extravagant as the decade progressed but this was not to last long with the outbreak of World War 1. Styles then became simpler and began to reflect the changing role of women in society. Coco Chanel introduced the short wedding dress in the 1920’s. A white dress knee length with a long train, making white the universal colour for wedding dresses. Once the war ended and people prospered once more the large dream weddings of the Victorian era became a reality once more.

Women have throughout history wanted to look as beautiful as princesses on their wedding day, for most it is the sacred occasion that has been dreamt of since they were little girls and it is the perfect occasion to feel special and look exquisite.

Since the 1950’s the women have become more individualistic and brides now stand before their grooms adorned in silk and lace gowns of varying lengths and shades. Whatever your choice this is your fairytale day and the perfect opportunity to reflect your own style and elegance.
