The Move Towards An Informal Wedding Dress By Donald Saunders For many years weddings have been very much set piece events, following a series of customs which, in many cases, were established literally hundreds of years ago. The central figure in the wedding, much to the chagrin of many grooms, is of course the bride adorned in all her finery in a magnificent white wedding dress, complete with veil and train. But things are changing. Today more and more couples are choosing to move away from the customs and traditions of the past and are very much putting their own stamp on their wedding. The growing feeling is that weddings should be uniquely memorable one-of-a-kind days that portray the personalities and lifestyles of the bride and groom and their families and friends. This means, amongst other things, dispensing with the old fashioned white wedding dress and often moving towards an informal wedding dress. But an informal wedding dress does not have to mean that a bride's wedding dress is any less stunning or that the bride should no longer draw the eye of the wedding guests and remain the center of attention. Modern dress styling simply means that today's bride can select a dress that matches her personality in terms of such things as color, material and pattern and can also choose a dress that best fits her figure. Many brides for example like to show off parts of their body such as their arms or back and the ability to choose a sleeveless or backless dress is perfect for them. Other brides may wish to show of their legs, or hide their legs, and the ability to choose a dress of just about any length you wish today also meets this need easily. But perhaps the really great thing about today's informal wedding dress is that you are no longer restricted to buying your dress from a bridal wear shop. You can buy your dress, or have it made for you, just about anywhere you like and will have a huge range of styles, as well as everyday and designer labels to pick from. And, if you're looking for a bargain, then how about shopping for your wedding dress in one of the many outlet stores that are springing up just about everywhere today or even buying online. The Internet has grown tremendously in just a few short years into a superb virtual shopping center and you will be surprised at just how easy and safe it is to shop online today. The overhead costs of selling online are also considerably less than maintaining a regular outlet and you will be amazed at some of the bargains that are to be had, often including some of the best known brand names. Shopping for your wedding needs time and thought but it can be great fun and, if you choose an informal wedding dress, you'll have a field day finding the perfect dress for that special day.
