Different Types of Elegant Bridal Gowns
Elegance is back in a big way this season. The wedding fashions for Spring 2009 are sleek, chic and decidedly elegant in many different ways. Whether you are planning a simple morning wedding, an afternoon tea or a full-fledged traditional, formal wedding, there are elegant wedding gowns just right for your special day.
With so many different kinds of elegance, choosing just the right wedding gown for your walk down the aisle can seem confusing. Luckily, there are some guidelines that you can follow to help you find the perfect wedding gown for your wedding. Here are a few suggestions to help you narrow down your choices of elegant wedding gowns.
Elegant Wedding Gowns for a Morning Wedding
The etiquette mavens say that a morning wedding calls for more causal attire than an afternoon or evening wedding. Those rules have relaxed considerably these days, and it is more important to match the style of your dress to the relative formality of the occasion. If you, the bride, choose to wear a full length designer ball gown, no one but a few stuffy critics will lift a brow. If, however, you would like to choose an elegant dress that fits tradition for morning weddings, you have got a lot of choices. The usual choice for an elegant morning wedding is a knee-length or tea-length dress, or a suit.
One very elegant choice for a morning wedding is Style PL270 from the Platinum Collection. The strapless cocktail length dress of silk crepe georgette features elegant details like shirring at the waist with metallic thread and crystal embellishment at the bust line and waist.
For a more contemporary elegant look, you might choose a dress like the Mageve style from the Reverie collection. The sleek, strapless dress is embellished with allover lace and beading that is subtle and stunning, accenting the smooth, simple lines of a princess styled sheath dress.
Another choice from the Reverie Collection is the Milan, a tea-length dress that combines traditional and contemporary styling to create a dress that is pure elegance. The draped bodice, wide straps and unusual dropped waist all combine beautifully into an elegant traditional dress that is perfectly at home for a semi-formal morning wedding, but fits an afternoon wedding as well.
Afternoon Wedding Gown Elegance
Afternoon weddings tend to be a bit more formal than morning weddings, though not quite as formal as an evening, black tie affair. Traditionally, tea-length wedding dresses are acceptable for afternoon weddings, though many brides choose to wear floor length wedding gowns no matter the time of day. Tea-length dresses are hemmed from slightly below the knee to mid-calf length, and often have full, swingy skirts.
The Taylor party dress from the Vineyard Collection is one elegant choice for a semi-formal afternoon wedding. The strapless satin bodice features a sweetheart neckline, one of the most traditional necklines for bridal gowns, and the full skirt is made with layers of fluttery, sheer tulle.
Another style from the Vineyard line that suits a morning or afternoon wedding is the Molly style wedding dress. The very simple floor-length wedding gown has an almost Renaissance feel to it, with drop shoulder straps and a pleated bodice. The simple A-line design is casually elegant, falling from the ribbon-wrapped waist to a soft, short train in the back.
Pure Formal Elegance for an Evening Wedding
Traditionally, evening weddings are black-tie affairs that call for formal, floor-length wedding gowns. Elegant formal wedding gowns come in many different silhouettes, and run the gamut from contemporary to traditional. The most popular styles for an evening wedding include ball gowns and Princess Gowns, but the most popular silhouette this season is a modified mermaid style that’s usually called “fit-to-flare”. The fit-to-flare style features a dress that is fitted to the torso and flares below the thigh into a wide, sweeping hem, often with a train.
Most wedding gowns combine more than one style, and do it with pure elegance. Style PL173 from the Platinum Collection is an eye-catching elegant design for a formal evening wedding. The satin bodice is closely fitted in a corset style with a back lacing, and the modified A-line skirt has a bit more flared look than the usual princess style, but not so much as a trumpet fit-to-flare skirt.
The Platinum Collection also features stunning ball gowns that are elegance personified. Some, like the PL241, feature luxurious touches like jeweled necklines and origami bows. Others feature lavish embroidery and Swarovski crystal beading, like the PL104, also from the Platinum Collection.
Before you visit a bridal salon, take the time to look through bridal magazines and web sites and pick out elegant wedding gown styles that you like. Clip and print pictures of the wedding dresses and gowns and bring them with you to help your bridal consultant understand just what “elegant” means to you.
