Informal Wedding Dresses
The reality of informal wedding dresses is that when you choose a more simple look for your wedding outfit, you automatically become the star attraction - and not your gown!
One of the biggest bridal fashion faux pas is that brides go overboard for decking themselves out for their special occasion! If your goal is to be the most stunning and lovely creature that your groom has ever beheld, then you will certainly wish to keep your bridal gown and accessories informal and simple, drawing the focus onto yourself, and not your bridal outfit.
There are so many awesome and impressive informal wedding gowns from which you can choose, for your understated and elegant entry into your wedding ceremony.
If you wish to get married in a National Park or a lovely city park location, then you should keep the length of your informal wedding gown short, and certainly not any longer than just above ankle length. You should definitely forgo a wedding dress train when doing an outdoor wedding ceremony, as the fabric of the train can become soiled or ripped.
If you have decided upon a waterfront or beach bridal ceremony, then you may wish to leave off long sleeves from your dress, and instead choose short sleeves or beaded straps.
You also have quite a bit of choice for the materials and fabrics that are conducive to an understated wedding gown. I have seen darling crocheted or knitted lace dresses that were very pretty, and yet had that enticing informal flair to them.
These brides either made their wedding ensemble themselves, or a beloved grandmother, aunt or even their mother spent time lovingly stitching one for the beloved bride. These informal gowns end up becoming cherished family heirlooms.
As far as adding accessories and headpieces to a informal wedding dresses, I have seen some very impressive results from the traditional free form wire and bead or semi precious stone and fresh water pearl tiaras, for accenting the bride's gown.
These unique and one of a kind wedding headpieces are a very pretty option to wearing a traditional veil. You can still wear a bridal tiara while dancing, without snagging a veil. You can also accent an informal bridal gown with simple flowers or even tastefully arranged ribbons in you bridal hairdo that will still give you a fresh and pretty look.

Elegant Lace Wedding Dresses
The Lace wedding dresses are either loved for their feel and romanticism or hated, for their ability to be transported into doily esque frocks. Some brides don't like the 'all too laced' look. Some dresses have a deep V-neck and the laced wedding dress designs fall in a mermaid line and give the bride an hourglass shape.

Lace Wedding Dresses
If you are the type of bride-to-be that is looking for a wedding gown that has some, or a lot of lace, there are a few things that you should know before you purchase your special dress.
One thing is for sure, lace wedding dresses have been around for hundreds of years. And for some brides they are just as popular to day as they where centuries ago.
Today's Bride looking for that special dress with lace needs to remember that years ago lace was mostly made of fine cotton threading so it was considerably softer than some of today's versions. Now that is not to say that you can not find lace wedding gowns that are soft to the touch, but you certainly need to be mindful of the type of lace and where it is at on the gown in proximity to your skin.
Whether you are feeling vintage or simply wanting a more traditional look to your gown, you can usually tell how soft the lace on any wedding dress is by how it lays and by what material it is next to or layered with.
If it is the softer type made of silk or cotton, or in some cases a finer nylon or polyester, it will lay flatter and have a fluffier look to it. Whereas a stiffer lace will possible backed up by a material like tulle or a have satin behind it.
That's the beauty of lace. You can have a very soft and flowing look on a gown that is mostly chiffon, silk or a lighter weight satin. Or you can go bolder and get a gown that is covered in lace with the unique addition of organza, tulle or matte satin. This is for the bride that likes texture and interesting details.
Consider adding a veil with a hem in the matching lace from your dress. This will bring your whole look together.
You can also research vintage laces online and even incorporate your favorite design into your cake and wedding favors.
There's a lot to love about lace and with a little knowledge, you can choose lace wedding dresses that are a true expression of who you are.

Buying a Wedding Dress - Stories for You
If you're feeling a tad overwhelmed by wedding preparations and agonizing over your wedding dress, you may want to take a break, sit and lounge on your favorite armchair, and curl up with a good book. We'd like to suggest My Wedding Dress: True-Life Tales of Lace, Laughter and Tulle published last month (January 2007) by Random House (ISBN: 978-0-676-97846-9; 0-676-97846-0). It's an anthology of thoughtful essays that cover the full range of bridal sentiments, before and after the wedding. One of the contributors said that "the most important thing about the dress was that it wasn't white, it wasn't long and it had not a whisper of tradition clinging to it."
There are about 26 essays from different women who talked about their wedding dresses and some of them, already divorced, described how their dress "felt all wrong" or "didn't fit" or "it just wasn't me."
By taking time off from wedding preparations, you can re-charge yourself by reading about weddings. Wedding stories never fail to bring a warm glow to heart or trigger your love for laughter. For example, we looked for a story about wedding dresses and we found a funny one online from the Canadian Press (May 2005). It tells the story about a couple, Christopher Cummings and Charity O'Brien, both from Missouri, who got married on the Mendenhall Glacier in Alaska. The title of the news story caught our attention: Weddings on Ice. Exchanging Vows on Alaskan Glaciers.
Guess what the bride wore to her glacier wedding?
The usual, white traditional - complete with sequins. But what else did she wear with it? We've chosen this paragraph and want to share it with you:
"The bride wore a curvy, strapless white satin gown sprinkled with sequins. She also had on tights, sweat pants, rain pants and a pair of hefty hiking boots fitted with spikes."
"The groom was charmed. 'That's the way she is...' 'although the dress was a surprise.'
Don't forget. YOU get to choose, not anyone else. It's personal, it's special, and it's an occasion that may happen only once in your life.
