Tenderness Of Traditions: The Wedding Gown Part 2.

Just about a week ago, we established just what a wedding gown mean to a bride. We know that the gown is more than what they’ll wear on what they consider to be one of the most important days of their lives. The wedding gown is the embodiment of a dream realized, a dream they’ve dreamed since a little girl while playing dress up with a close friend. A dream realized from the first time they saw that “special” little boy whom made them giggle and of she went, dreaming of what their wedding day would be like.
The wedding gown celebrates the tenderness of traditions, yet it reflects greatly the personality of the bride, her sense of style, her sense passion and certainly her sense of self!
This week, I thought about focusing on a particular designer but when I stumbled on a sheath gown, I became distracted by how amazingly gorgeous this gown was. I love sheath gowns because of how simple yet dramatic they can be. When I got married so many years ago, I wore a very simple sheath gown with a dramatic cathedral length veil with Italian lace on the edges infused with tiny crystals. Seeing these sheath gowns brought me back to my own wedding day and made me giggle and here I am telling you about it.
My two amazing designers or choice are certainly no stranger to designing stunning, sexy and feminine gowns to fit a bride’s body. Some of the gowns are made of pure luxurious liquid silk, plush taffeta silk and other fine materials. My personal preference with a sheath gown is to be paired with a very dramatic veil such and cathedral length or longer and a pair of exquisite stilettos but certainly you will complete the look which only you can complete.

I had trouble deciding between the first two gowns below. It was a difficult choice because I simply love and adore anything from the incomparable Oscar de la Renta and with gown number 92N42 as you can see did not disappoint at all. I am in love with the oversize band which wraps one’s midsection in plush fabric. I love the drama of the fabric tucked inside the wrap which created a stunning tiered look which can be used for inspiration for décor of the wedding. (That’s a whole different blog). With a gown like this, perhaps a simpler veil or just a stunning neckpiece would accomplish the look.
My next favorite gown is by the fabulous Badgley Mischka and need I say more? This gown captured my eyes for how simple, exquisite yet sexy it is. I love the cut of this gown which was designed to accentuate a woman’s body. I love the luxurious silk and the sensual lace which makes the dress standout. For a younger bride, definitely should wear a stunning veil which would bring the youthful side of the dress. An older bride can dominate this dress simply by wearing a nice neckpiece and oversize cuffs. For more information on the designers and where to get the gowns, simply click on the pictures.

Do you have a favorite designer that you would like me to feature? What do you think about the gowns? How would you pull of this look? Let me know your thoughts.

My best wishes,
