A Formal Wedding Dress Is Not All That It Is Cracked Up To Be
With the winter behind us, we find one of the first spring trends to come to the fore is the latest bridal trends. By tradition spring and summer is the wedding season, so designers are getting out ideas thick and fast. But is it truly necessary to have a formal wedding dress? Not according to this season’s bridal pundits!
The formal wedding dress is fast becoming a thing of the past, much like dial-up modems and drug-free labors. This season we have been given a great opportunity to get really funky when organizing our weddings and there are a number of hugely popular trends, one of the most popular is country chic. Forget satin high heeled shoes that you will never wear again and don cowboy boots instead, you will be at the forefront of bridal fashion.
Hiring a barn in a beautiful country setting is far more economical than the ballroom at the Hyatt. You will more than likely be able to accommodate the same amount of guest, if not more at a fraction of the cost. Country styled bridal dresses are great fun as well as very beautiful. Treating your guests to a barbecue and barn dance, while you and your groom go off into the sunset on a hay-ride is incredibly romantic.
Your creativity can be unleashed to it fullest, and three are no limitations to the kind of wedding you are able to have in a country setting. Vineyards are also a fantastic venue to have a wedding. Because a country setting is so exquisite, there is very little need to hire expensive decorations, buy tons of flowers, or even make use of a wedding planner. Asian weddings are also hot and a cherry blossom orchard makes the most divine setting.
Just because you think it might be expected of you to wear a formal wedding dress is no excuse to have to wear one. The latest trends dictate this to be so, and this is the reason you give to your mother to get out of wearing, satin, lace and pearls. Super short wedding minis are in fashion again and these are really chic designs. Dress them up with ankle strap sandals or a pair of Jimmy Choo’s and away you go.
