This Week in Fashion: Tis the Wedding Season

Hello everyone,

It’s been a while, but I’m back and excited to talk to you about one of the most important aspects of any wedding – the wedding dress! With summer just around the corner, it’s the perfect time for all the future brides to start thinking about what they want to wear on their special day.

As you plan your wedding, there are many things to consider – the venue, the decor, the guest list, the menu, and the dresses for you and your bridal party. In this week’s segment, we will focus on wedding gowns and accessories and explore the different options available to you.

When it comes to choosing a wedding dress, there are endless possibilities. You can go for a traditional look or something more vintage, opt for a beachy or earthy vibe, or choose a gown that flatters your shape and size. You can even wear a second-hand dress passed down from your mother or grandmother, buy a ready-made dress off the rack, purchase a vintage gown, or have a custom-made dress designed just for you.

To help you get started, I’ve compiled a list of wedding dress ideas for brides getting married in the upcoming spring, summer, fall, and winter seasons. With so many options available, you will surely find the perfect dress that will make you feel beautiful and confident on your big day.

Whirling Turban

FLOOR LENGTH VINTAGE BEAUTY IN SILVER-KISSED SOFT WHITE

This gorgeous bodice style was inspired by an original from the 50’s designed by the brilliant Alfred Shaheen. The lines are ingeniously flattering and the “wings” at the bust so whimsical. Waist is slightly dropped. Alluring ruching above the bust.

Dress is floor length with box pleats, channeling Charles James.

We have had this fabric locally custom hand-woven especially for us; it took us years to achieve this outstanding quality. The fabric is cotton combined with the subtlest silver metallic fiber. Luscious in summer yet perfect for a winter holiday wedding.

“Built” boned bodice has several layers and clever elastic panels for cling (and comfort). Petticoat not included.

Whirling Turban dresses are noted for their flattering fit. Each custom dress is made individually to fit just one unique figure.

Fall/Winter Bride

Zagri (Vintage)

Gorgeous, gorgeous. Champagne silk satin with pastel flowers in sage, rose, peach, sky blue and pineapple. But don’t let the fabric alone sway you, it’s the construction that makes it fabulous. Deep V (echoed in the teardrop armholes) in front and back with an overskirt that wraps around the back, leaving a slim column of exposed satin in front. Draped at the left hip, this is wonderful with pastel satin sandals and a gold and diamond necklace by Abrasha. Labelled Zagri, it is lined entirely in champagne satin. A stupendous dress – really lovely. Bust measures 34″, waist 23″ and length 56″. Ideally sized for a healthy modern 2 or small 4, it is in excellent condition. $610.00

The most beautiful shoe to splurge on for your special day would be a pair of “Christian Louboutin.” However, these heels are only good for standing and looking beautiful. They are not very comfortable walking in or spending your special day wearing. This designer shoe requires you to change into something much more comfortable but still stay stylish. Below are some ideas of great wedding shoes to wear during your special day.

I hope this week in fashion was very inspiring and helpful in helping that nervous bride choose the perfect wedding gown for her special day. As a note, the summer wedding tradition dates back to Roman times when they celebrated the festival of the deity Juno and his wife Jupiter, the goddess of marriage and childbirth, on the first day of June. In Victorian times, the tradition is thought to have continued because there were flowers available for wedding décor, and the scent of the flowers masked body odor (Huffington Post, 2015).
