Think Beyond Taffeta!

It used to be that the words " bridesmaidwedding dress" was synonymous with "a dress you'll never wear again." Not so today! When you ask your friends to be your bridesmaid, you are actually giving them a great excuse to shop for (and maybe splurge on) a special dressy bridesmaid dress that they will actually wear to another special occasion after your wedding day. Can you think of a better gift than guilt-free shopping?

While some brides allow their attendants to pick their own dresses, most brides want to have a say in what their gals wear. Remember, it is your day, and there's no reason you shouldn’t play fashion designer. Just keep in mind that in order to have happy bridesmaids you need to consider each girl's taste, body shape, and coloring.

Mix It Up

There is no need to dress your bridesmaids in head-to-toe matching outfits with shoes dyed to match. With the latest fashions bursting off the racks, be creative in your choice of design. Whatever you choose will reflect on your personal taste and sense of style.

However, if you are stuck and not sure where to start, check out the numerous wedding websites and bridal magazines that offer tips on finding the right dress for different body types, different seasons, and different times of day. For example, A-line skirts and empire waists tend to flatter all body types, and dark colors "navy blue, forest green, or black" are ideal for evening weddings and look good on just about everyone.

To help you hone in on the perfect bridesmaid wedding dress consider these guidelines.

• Pick one designer, and then allow your friends to choose from several styles. The dresses may be just slightly different, but each girl can choose the one that suits her best.
• Settle on one color and tell your bridesmaids to find a dress of that shade in whatever cut they want. You may want to add one or two "musts", such as it must also be ankle-length or strapless.
• Compliment the wedding's color scheme with the bridesmaid dresses. For example, if your colors are white and royal blue, consider decking your attendants out in a soft sky blue.
• If you choose a revealing dress style that's off the shoulders, offer your attendants shawls or another form of cover up so they won't feel too exposed and can ward off a chill.

Be a Trend Setter

Let's say you've looked through pages and pages of magazines and scoured all the wedding websites but still haven't found the right look. For some reason, you keep imagining a less traditional bridesmaid outfit, something that is relaxed and playful, but you don't see that kind of dress reflected in any of the magazines.

It's time to take a break and go window shopping at all your favorite department stores and boutiques. While walking around, you may realize that what you really want is to dress your bridesmaids in a two-piece outfit for a more casual vibe. The options are really limitless. Don't be afraid to listen to your inner voice and dare to do something that's a bit surprising.

A special wedding flower girl dress will make your smallest bridesmaid shine.

Want a definite crowd pleaser at your wedding? Consider a flower girl. A cute, well-dressed little girl (usually three to eight years old) scattering rose petals or blowing bubbles is a sure thing. If you have a flower girl lead the procession down the aisle, you can bet your guests will be smiling and more relaxed when it comes time for the bride to take the spotlight. There is just one danger: the little lady wearing the flower girl wedding dress may actually steal the show!

With the younger flower girls, keep in mind that you can not control their behavior. They may show off in funny ways, get distracted halfway down the aisle, or they may be extremely shy and need to be encouraged to walk in front of an audience. However, the one thing you can control is what she will wear. With the right flower girl dress your flower girl will kick off your wedding ceremony with grace, style, and a whole lot of charm.

A Dress that Makes Sense

The flower girl's dress can be creative and playful, but it should somehow relate to the wedding's overall theme. Here are some basic styles that always work well on children.

• Full skirts with satin sashes
• Princess sleeves
• All white lace or silk organza dresses with sashes And here are some ideas that are a bit more creative:
• The dress could be the same color as the bridesmaids' dresses.
• The dress could be white with accents such as ribbons, flowers, gloves, or shoes that are the same color as the bridesmaids' dresses.
• The dress could be a mini version of the bridesmaids' dresses or have some of the same design elements, such as lace, hand beading, or ruffles.
• The dress could be a one-of-a-kind that echoes the theme of the wedding, such as a daisy print dress to match the spring wedding theme.

Comfort Matters

When choosing the flower girl's dress, it is important to factor in her comfort level. You may fall in love with a floor-length dress, but is the little one likely to trip on the hem when she walks down the aisle? As the bride, it is your responsibility to pick a flower girl dress that your young attendant will look forward to wearing. Remember, a comfortable flower girl will be a happy flower girl.

Finding the Wedding Flower Girl Dress

Where can you buy these mini fashion statements? The best place to get a first hand look is in some children's clothing stores, bridal shops, or specialty sections in department stores. The perfect flower girl dress does not have to be labeled a "flower girl" dress. It can be any dress that you come across that you feel is suitable for the occasion.

You may also search the numerous online wedding sites. Most of them offer tips on selecting wedding attire for the younger set, including whether the ceremony is at night, outside on a beach, in the summer, etc. In addition, these sites often showcase different collections and include the measurements and costs of the dresses.

A flower girl is a terrific addition to a wedding party. She is a natural ice breaker and an immediate conversation piece. So to ensure she makes a strong, lasting, and amusing impression on your guests, choose her wedding flower girl dress with care and pleasure.

It's All About The Dress!

Of all the elements of your wedding ceremony and reception, the gown is the show-stopper centerpiece. Choosing the wedding gown is the wedding planning moment nearly every bride anticipates. It should be fun, exciting and rewarding at that special moment that you find the perfect dress, veil and accessories.

The problem? Despite the hundreds of beautiful gowns you've seen, not one is right for you. Maybe they are too fitted, or too puffy, or too beaded, or just not really "you." What should you do?

Consider designing your own. If your first reaction was to stand back and say, "I don't have the talent for that! " consider this: every great dress starts with a great idea. Along with a few resources that may be right under your nose, we'll help you pull those elements together into your wedding dream gown.

Finding a Seamstress

If your grandmother, aunt, mother-in-law, sister or brother-in-law happens to have a special talent for sewing and has worked with delicate or formal fabrics, consider asking her to donate her talent. Chances are she'll be flattered and thrilled to take on the job.

You can also hire a professional seamstress to flesh out your design. She will make a practice dress out of muslin to be sure your design will work before making the dress itself. Be sure to shop around for a good price and above all, get references. It‘s an important day, and it's your dress. You want it to be quality-made, so take your time finding the perfect professional.

Tailoring an inexpensive ready-made gown can be another great option. Maybe you'd like everything but the puffy sleeves? Have them removed! If you're lucky enough to have an heirloom dress that's been handed down to you, consider altering it to fit your body or style (be sure you have permission).

Gathering Ideas

Now comes the fun part: the actual dress design. A great place to start brainstorming your perfect gown is in bridal magazines. Pick up several, and leaf through them to see what matches your personal style.

Every figure is different. You probably have a clear idea of what works with your body. Starting with that framework, consider which of the following basic wedding gown shape fits you best:

• Fitted: Snug at the waist, then graduating to a flared skirt.
• Empire Waistline: Fitted directly under the bust, then looser from the bust downward.
• Ballgown: Very fitted, then full immediately after the waist (like a ballerina) gradually widening into an "A" shape skirt
• Dropped Waistline: Usually fitted through bust, waist and even hips then widens to a looser, flounced or flared skirt.
• Column Gown: Fitted (or fairly fitted) all the way down, or flared from about mid-calf down for a "mermaid" look.
• Sheath Style: This is a classic straight slip look, usually graceful and flowing all the way down.

Your Ideas in Action

It may surprise you to know that virtually all wedding dresses fall under one of the above basic categories. What sets one gown apart from the next is the length, sleeve treatment, level of formality, fabric or fabrics, added dress details and accessories.

Be sure to take your ideas to a local bridal salon and try on a dress or two in each type that you like. This will give you a better idea of the "gown in action." Does that full skirt feel princess or just heavy and cumbersome? Does the A-line fit and flatter your figure? You won't really know what works until you've tried on a few gowns.

Once you have some ideas firmly in place, grab a sketch book, a pencil and sit down with your seamstress (or Grandma, or Uncle Joe). Draw your vision: length, sleeve type, fabric and details you'd like to use. Sometimes you can create the dress from your sketch; other times you'll need to purchase a pattern and make adjustments until it meets your vision. Your seamstress may agree on some points and have more workable suggestions for others. Remember to listen, but stick with the elements that are your "must haves."

With the input of a professional or experienced family member, adding your own personal sense of style, will be the icing on the cake to the perfect wedding dress. One of the best parts of all your labor is that there won't be another bride on the planet wearing your dress!

Nowadays, it seems as if everyone is staying away from the standard wedding dresses and moving towards other style trends, such as Bohemian and Romantic style wedding dresses. However, there are a few other wedding dress trends that are worth looking into, such as a Greek style wedding dress. This style is perfect for women who don't want to have a super form fitting dress on their wedding day or one that looks as if they are a puffed up pastry.

While they may be difficult to find locally if you live in a smaller town, the internet is teeming with these wedding dresses. Even if you don't feel comfortable ordering your wedding dress online without trying it on, you can at least get some ideas and bring them to your local wedding boutique and ask whether or not they could order something like this for you, that way you can still try it out in the store before committing to buy it.

Dinnel.com has a gorgeous Grecian wedding dress. You can send the website your measurements and they will customize the dress to fit you, even changing the color, neckline, and sleeves to suit your preference.

The key to picking out a Grecian wedding dress is to choose one that embodies that of the Greek islands. These dresses are normally made from light fabric, such as chiffon.

When you are a bride who has recently bought your wedding dress, you will most likely find that it requires some alteration. The amount of changes needed will, of course, depend on a few different factors. Such aspects as weight gain or loss, height and others may play into your need for alterations to your wedding dress. Some tips can really come in handy so that you know what to expect when you need your dress altered.

Timing

Above all else, you should always keep in mind that timing is everything when you require wedding dress alterations performed. Don't ever bring your dress to a tailor too early, such as one week after purchasing it. What if, over time, you gain or lose weight and find that you need additional work done on your dress while the wedding is nearer and nearer? This will be an inconvenience, not only to you but to the tailor or seamstress, and it will put an over-abundance of stress on your wedding dress.

At the same time, you should avoid bringing your dressin for alterations too late as well. If you procrastinate too much and arrive at two weeks before your wedding, there is no guarantee the seamstress will be finished with it in time for your wedding. How often do you see such issues occurring on TV shows like Bridezillas? Don't take chances!

Selecting a Tailor

Selecting a good tailor or seamstress is also extremely important. After all, this is your wedding dress, and it may just be the most important garment you ever wear in your life. It should be tended to by only a person who has all the right credentials and utmost skill and professionalism.

Bring Your Shoes!

When you are getting your dress altered, keep in mind that you will most likely be required to wear it for at least a good portion of time. Therefore, you should bring your shoes with you to any and all fittings. This is essential so that you know the length will be just right, and you can't determine such a thing if you simply wear the sneakers you wore to the shop.
