Wedding Gown Trends in 2011

Saturday, June 25th, 2011

The first crop of 2011 gowns are embellished with many dimensional details, lots of handstitched crystals, and large floral appliques. Take a sneak peek into the romantic style of the latest wedding gown trends.

For the last few seasons, ruffles have been one of the biggest ways that designers have chosen to add volume and visual interest to their gowns. The bridal gowns which are set to debut soon move away from the ruffle trend, but not from the idea of using embellishments to add volume and femininity. Instead of ruffles, look for gowns with hundreds of tiny three dimensional flowers stitched all over them. Soft petals are another favorite decoration for the romantic gowns for 2011. Oversized clusters of flower “corsages” are another big trend, and they are primarily being used as accents on waistlines or shoulders.

One thing you will not be seeing is a lot of plain dresses or those with simple lines. Asymmetry is still in, both in the form of the one shoulder gown and wedding dresses with asymmetrical draping on the bodice. Very low waistlines are in abundance, and most bodices have ruched, gathered, or draped bodices which hug the figure (the wrapped fabric does a nice job of smoothing over any figure flaws in these tight bodices). Certainly strapless bridal gowns are still a staple, and the one shoulder style is still in style. A new addition to the necklines for 2011 wedding gowns is the tip of the shoulder design which is very slim at the top and just barely grazes the edge of the bride’s shoulder. It is a very flattering neckline for many women, and a nice alternative to the more typical strapless wedding dress.

With all the romanticism evident in the upcoming gowns for 2011, don’t worry that all the petals and flowers mean less sparkle. You will be seeing Swarovski crystals stitched into the center of tiny floral appliques, as well as larger crystals used to embellish the entire gown, from neck to hem. The difference is in the way the sparkly details are being used: more organically and in clear crystal, rather than the icy silver of mirror backed crystals or rhinestones used to create a defined pattern. This will tie in beautifully with the Swarovski crystal bracelets which are one of the top trends for both 2010 and 2011 brides. Stacks of mismatched Swarovski crystal and pearl bracelets are a modern finishing touch for the romantic gown designs.

It seems as though all of the bridal designers will be crazy for texture in 2011. Not only will gowns soon be gliding down the runway embellished with floral appliques and oversized crystals, but designers are using even more interesting accents to create gowns with dimension. Look for multiple sizes of paillettes being used to create a shimmery, faceted appearance on gowns. (Paillettes are essentially larger and nicer versions of sequins, and they are often drilled at the top instead of the center so they can dangle and move.) Even feathers are making a statement as a trendy bridal gown embellishment. These fantastical details are being added to very soft and romantic fabrics like net, lace, and organza to create gowns which are like something out of a fairy tale. Lucky brides!

What to Know When Buying Bridal Gowns

Monday, July 6th, 2009

What you need to know when buying bridal gowns is that they will be reflection of your personality and sensuality. There is not a universal recipe on how bridal gowns should or should not look like. There is also flexibility on various bridal gowns aspects. Bridal gowns are in different colors, sizes and designs, with or without sleeves. They can emphasize certain parts of bridal body, such as her back, arms or knees but whatever their image is, bridal gowns make brides be the most beautiful in the world. Inevitable of course is bridal lingerie, so soft and tender, it patiently waits for the moment to show off.

One of the things that you need to know when buying bridal gowns concerns your budget. Bridal gowns are important but still not only important. Be rational and logical as much as you can! You may want the bridal gown as beautiful and luxury as no one can imagine, but such a bridal gown may cost a fortune. What is sure and definite is that you must not loose contact with reality and spend all money you have just because you want it. In order to accept this fact, go through the stories on internal or beauty inside. Your charisma and self-satisfaction will help you look good and irresistible. Does it sound too feminine? Then go on reading and you will find out that it is not women only.

After checking your budget, you can take your bride to be for a nice, romantic stroll or you can stay in and browse lovely wedding and bridal websites. Whatever way you go, do that with fun, joy, and enjoy every second for your wedding day will not last more than twenty-four hours. What should last forever is your love, so do not waste your time and energy on trivia. Once you have started, stick to your personal wishes and dreams. Choose bridal gowns materials that are soft and swaying. Never buy bridal gowns just because their style is fashionable. Bridal gowns should not be old fashioned and out of date but first, they must suit you perfectly. Do not buy bridal gowns that are too tight and prevent you from normal breathing and moving all around!

Avoid buying too large bridal gowns! Choose and buy your size, style and design and feel comfortable. Bridal gowns should make most and best of women. Whether they are white, light blue, beige, pink or whatever, long, medium or short, with or without sleeves, with or without zircons they belong to bridal personality and love. Be the most beautiful bride, let your man buy what you like and relax!
