Sexy Wedding Gowns For The Goddess Bride
December 4, 2005 | All Wedding Articles, Wedding Dresses, Wedding Gowns
If you got it, flaunt it. And girl, you’ve got it. You know you do. So what kind of sexy wedding gowns are fit for a Goddess? Use the following tips to showcase your outer diva.
The secret to finding the perfect sexy wedding dress? Pay attention to these three categories: fabric, cut, and style.
Divinely Sexy Fabrics
Silk
It’s touchable. Soft. Both to you, and anyone who touches you.
It clings to your curves.
A wedding gown made of a thin silk is especially sexy. Why? When it warms to your body temperature, you’ll feel as if you’re standing in nothing but your skin.
Satin
Silk’s less expensive cousin. But just as sexy. Add its slippery smooth texture and soft shine to your wedding gown for a divinely inspired glow.
Lace
If fabric had a personality, lace would be a tease. It plays peek-a- boo with the eye. This “now you see some skin, now you don’t” fabric can cloak your body in mystery.
Or hover on the edge of full disclosure. It’s your choice.
For added sexiness, look for lace that has some elastic built into it. The Wedding gown will mold itself to your body.
Super Sexy Cuts
As in, low cut. Or slit up the side. Or in front. There’s something very sexy about a front slit in a long narrow gown. Even if it only shows a little knee.
You know that a little cleavage goes a long way on the sexy style-o-meter.
Keep this in mind, though: You’ll be doing a lot of leaning over and shaking of hands. Practice this move when you try on that sexy gown. Make sure you’re comfortable with how much your wedding dress is showing.
There are ways around this little problem.
Buy a wedding gown with a bustier-style bodice. This is a fabulous look for everyone. But it’s a god-send for the well endowed. A good bustier will support. It will uplift and keep the girls where they belong.
So you know that cleavage is sexy in a wedding gown. But so are bare shoulders. And a low-cut back.
A backless wedding dress can sometimes be more sexy than cleavage. It’s showing a part of your body that is usually covered up.
Nervous about showing your bare arms? Pick a wedding dress with sheer sleeves. You get all the sexiness of skin, in soft focus.
The same goes for showing your back. A little sheer gauze will showcase a firm back and gloss over less than perfect skin.
Goddess Style
Anything that hugs the body. Think slim sheathe, mermaid style, or a narrow A-line.
A sheathe will show off a trim figure.
A word of warning: Mermaid style - the kind of wedding gown that clings everywhere and flares out around the knees - only works for Goddesses whose shoulders and hips are proportional.
A-Lines look good on everyone. If you are pear shaped, a narrow A-line will shave ten pounds off your figure. And if that isn’t a heavenly miracle, what is?
This is your day. Own your personal divinity. With these tips in hand, you’ll find a wedding gown worthy of your sexiness.

Wedding Gowns - Make A Very Hard Decision Into a Simple One
December 4, 2005 | All Wedding Articles, Wedding Dresses, Wedding Gowns
It is the most important day in your life and you’ll have to make one of the hardest decisions ever, what wedding gown to wear on your wedding day. There are so many things to consider when looking for a wedding gown.
The most important step in selecting a gown is your personal style. If you see a gown that you automatically fall in love with, then that is probably the dress for you. Some dresses are detailed with fancy beading, and lace, while others are simple, yet classic.
You want a gown for your wedding that fits you and your personality. You do not want to be unrecognizable when you walk down the aisle in something that no one would ever imagine you in.
The fabric you select and if you want long or short sleeves or a crown or a train and so on, will be crucial to the overall outcome of the gown itself. There are many styles available today from simple to elegant.
Factors to consider when picking your wedding gown fabric
Remember it is your wedding and you make the decision. If your wedding is semi- formal or formal, it is generally acceptable to wear a more formal type gown. If you are planning a simple wedding, then you can go either way, formal or informal.
If you have always dreamed of having a grand dress, you should do just that. If you have to cut back on other wedding expenses, so you can have the dress of your dreams then just do it. Hopefully you only marry once and this is your chance. If you do not take it you may regret it later.
You need to also consider the date of your wedding and in what season it will be. You want your fabric to be appropriate for the weather. The stress of the day and your nervousness may cause you to be overly warm. For outdoor weddings, you want to stay away from heavy, satin, long sleeved gowns. You may opt for an off the shoulder wedding dress for both winter and summer weddings.
Chiffon and organza have a light airy look that has traditionally been considered warm weather styles.
Think about the shape of your body and remember that the gown you choose for your wedding day needs to compliment you and make you the center of attention, in a good way. Think about what you will be most comfortable in. You want to feel as good as you look when you walk down that aisle.

Perfect Second Wedding Dresses for the Last Time Around
December 4, 2005 | All Wedding Articles, Wedding Dresses, Wedding Gowns
They say lightning never strikes the same place twice. Thank goodness that doesn’t cover love. Now you have another chance to create the perfect wedding. You can have exactly the ceremony you want and pick the perfect second wedding dress.
You may or may not know what you want. What customs should you pay attention to? Which can you ignore? Today we’ve laid out some common second wedding myths, and their answers.
Common Myths of Second Wedding Dresses
Myth #1: You can only wear pure white in the first wedding.
Wrong. Your wedding dress is just that. Your dress. You have to wear it. You have to look at the pictures of yourself in it.
So what if it’s your second time around? Wear whatever wedding dress makes you feel gorgeous. Here are the only two questions you need to worry about:
Do I look good in pure white? Am I comfortable wearing pure white?
If the answer to either is no, then ivory, ecru, or oyster might be the colors for you.
Myth #2: I can’t wear a wedding dress at my second wedding. I should stick to a dress suit or evening gown.
Oh please. Your second marriage is just as important as your first. And it will be even better, now that you’re more experienced.
It’s your wedding. Wear a wedding dress if that’s what you want.
If you don’t, no worries. Your wedding wear options as a second time bride are more flexible.
And less fussy. Is your wedding an informal affair? It’s entirely appropriate to wear a pantsuit. Or a slim sheathe. Pick an outfit that fits the mood of your ceremony.
Myth #3: I can’t wear a Blusher veil or a long train.
Can’t is such a strong word. Wedding dresses for second time brides tend not to have them. They tend to be reserved for first-timers.
But why should you suffer if you really want a cathedral-length gown? Maybe you didn’t have one the first time. Or you simply love the style.
If you can wear a long train with panache, then go for it.
Blusher veils - the kind that cover your entire face - are another matter.
These are strongly associated with purity and innocence. Why would you hide that hard-won experience anyway? Choose a veil that shows your face and wear it with pride.
The only rule every second time bride must follow is this:
Choose a wedding dress you love.
Make it gorgeous. Make it you. You’ll never regret it.
