04 JunPractical Dress Ideas

When a woman gets engaged, one of the first things she looks forward to doing is selecting her wedding gown. Trends change from year to year and it can be overwhelming navigating through the vast array of styles, colours, and textures. Your wedding dress is a reflection of your personality and although you may select a certain style in a magazine, it is worthwhile to explore the many options available to you.

For the practical bride, pocket dresses have been steadily gaining popularity. Pockets provide a comfortable place to put your hands and a stylish, yet hidden, place to store your lip gloss on the big day.

Runways all over the world are showing ultra-feminine skirts embellished with giant floral-like blossoms. If the only place you’d like your flowers to be is in your bouquet but you’d still like a dress with that extra sparkle, the selection of dresses embellished with everything from pearls to sequins is plentiful this year.

If you dare to be different and are oozing with confidence, tea-length and mini dresses are becoming more widely available. A shorter dress is a viable low maintenance option for the urban or minimalist bride. Also seen on this year’s runways are dresses with corset-style bodices. Although previously thought to be an edgier choice, this style has been seen with options that vary from sassy to sweet.
