Western Wedding Dresses
Wedding dresses come in a wide range of diversity. Designs, styles and fabrics change from one place to the next. Background and culture also have a say in the matter and can affect the overall theme of a wedding. That is the main reason why western wedding dresses vary a great deal from the Asian type. Nevertheless, they have a special role to play.
The traditional bridal dress is usually a one-piece frock referred to as Qi Pao, embroidered using elaborate silver and gold designs. Southern China brides normally wear a two-piece called Cheongsam or Qun Gua Kwa, which is also adorned, elaborately by golden dragon and phoenix. The dress is normally red in color because red is believed to be a strong good luck color keeping away evil spirits.
Looking out for something romantic, then go in for a beautiful, romantically designed western wedding gown, which can be excellently cut to enhance the beautiful and elegant female figure. A well designed and cut dress combines unique tapestry and exclusive lace on the bodice and a full eight point skirt, Alencon sleeves which are re-embroidered, hand beaded and sequined neckline with lace and 6″ fringe on the skirt and bodice.
The choices of where and what to decorate with when planning your western wedding theme are simply endless. A western themed wedding does not appear as a budgeting option when holding the service or the entire event outdoors. Dressing up a lawn or a barn shed for western themed wedding is as simple as having a beautiful spring wedding and taking advantage of the wedding flowers growing naturally around the place, buying a few hay bales for the guests to sit on and celebrating a new life together without the fuss and bother that goes with a stuffy formal wedding reception.
For the Flamenco look, a combination of a fitting dress and bolero jacket effortlessly does it. In the arm of a groom in a matador jacket, the look gets even better. If he is ready to wear a matching pair of skintight trousers, ‘perfect’ describes the final look.
There is an old English rhyme that brides have been obeying for years. “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” The actual rhyme also included this line “and a sixpence in your shoe”. Relatives usually offer the something old, like great grandmother’s antique cameo, or your mom’s gown. These items provide continuity from generation to generation.
The list of themes for a wedding that would call for a light, airy, romantic gown is endless. Hollywood films are a great source of inspiration for wedding themes, as long as you remember to incorporate your own style into it. To know what you want in the way of casual wedding dresses, first decide what you want your wedding theme to be, and then have fun as you begin shopping!
