THE PERFECT WEDDING DRESS

There is so much advice out there on how to the choose the right wedding dress. Unfortunately, no one can really give you advice on how to find that perfect wedding dress. The only way I can describe it is by making the comparison to finding love. That may seem extreme but I think it is true. So many people will tell you how to find the love of your life. Yet, those that have found the true love of their life will tell you that there is no real formula. It takes the right person at the right time. It is a feeling. The same holds true for a wedding dress. When you put on the right dress, you will look at yourself and you will feel like a bride.

Wearing White
Wearing white on your wedding day is the traditional thing to do. White symbolizes fresh beginnings and you can never go wrong. However, if you don't want to wear white, you shouldn't feel compelled to. Based on tradition, if a couple lived together before becoming man and wife, a woman isn't supposed to wear white. Yet, we all know that they do. That means that it is your choice. It is your choice, for the dress that you choose to wear, to begin your life together and it should be your choice what color it is as well.

Short Wedding Dresses
There was a time that it was rare to see a short wedding dress at a traditional wedding. Short wedding dresses are usually reserved for beach weddings or maybe even a second wedding. Well, that isn't the case anymore as brides get more comfortable their own ideas for their wedding day, we are seeing more short dresses. Short dresses can be extremely flattering to the right bride and it is all about your personal style.

Which train is for you
If the question isn't should I have a train and the question is which train should I choose, well here is some information. There are a lot of different choices when it comes to choosing a train. Again, you have to decide how you picture yourself on your wedding day and you do want to consider where you are getting married. There are Sweeping, Chapel, Semi Cathedral, Cathedral and the train of all trains....The Monarch. It is also referred to as the Royal Train because this is what Princess Diana wore at her wedding. Of course Princess Diana wore the train because she would be come a princess but I am sure it also made her feel like a princess. Whether, you want the dress to sweep the floor or you want to arrive at the church 10 minutes before your train, it is whatever makes you happy. Just make sure you think about the logistics if you do go with a long train.

Sexy or Non Sexy
I never know how to answer this question when someone asks. I think every woman wants to feel sexy on her wedding day. Now if she displays sexy instead of just feeling sexy, that is something completely different. However, while it is different, it is still a personal choice. Most women pick a wedding dress that is somewhat close to their everyday style. I would have to agree that this is the best choice. Your wedding dress is something that you have to look back on with no regrets. Since your marriage is for life, the photo of your wedding day will be something you have to look at for days to come. Therefore, you want it to reflect who you are and the way you felt on the day you are married. Also, keep in mind you want it to be a dress you are comfortable in and you can be confident about. So, while you don't have to be completely conservative, choose wisely. Pick a dress that will make you feel sexy but still make you look like a bride.

In conclusion, I am sure that you have gathered that the overall theme of this posting is that your wedding day is your wedding day. A wedding dress is a something that makes a statement and it should be your statement. The most important thing with anything you choose on your wedding day is that you do what makes you happy and that are well informed about your decisions. Keep in mind that there may be some effort required with the dress you choose. For example if you want a Monarch train and you are getting married at the beach....there are some decisions to be made. Well, you wouldn't have to make all of those decisions because that is why you would hire me.
