The Wedding Gown

The Wedding GownContrary to what you may have heard or been told, not all brides have to wear a white wedding dress. It's stylish these days for brides to wear white or off-white, but the fact is a white wedding gown does not syboloize virginity, happiness or anything else really.White wedding dresses became popular after Queen Victoria of England wore one back in the 1840s. At the time most women wore brown or black dresses, color was insignificant and they were not real concerned about buying a dress that would be worn only once. But after Queen Victoria created such a sensation, white wedding dresses became a new staus symbol.I hope that little tidbit of information helps disspell any myth about white wedding dresses.A wedding gown doesn't have to be long, flowing or even white and it doesn't have to be costly.Look through wedding magazines or go online and just look at the various styles and fabrics. There are hundreds if not thousands of different dresses to look at. Don't be intimidated by the number of choices or the costs just find what appeals to you then try to find a bargain.The average cost for a wedding dress is around $850 up to $1250 when shoes, veil, and undergarments are added. That's just the average so don't pay attention to it. What you actually spend on your gown depends on your personal style, taste, fabric and most importantly your ability and desire to comparison shop. Once you have chosen a style of dress, then you can compare the price at several different places, even the same place after a few months if you have the time. The point is don't buy the first dress you see unless you know it's an absolute steal or the one you can't live without.A wedding gown purchase is an emotional one and also if your not careful your judgement can be skewed by the old "keeping up with the Jonse's" mentality. Check your motive to be sure why your puchasing a particular dress. Basically I'm encouraging you to be patient in this area because it is so emitional. Plan everything down to the smallest detail, stay within your budget as best you can and trust your instincts when shopping for your wedding, especially your wedding gown.
