Just as destination weddings are fast growing in popularity, so are destination wedding dresses.
What exactly is a destination wedding dress? It is a trendy, sensible, cost effective alternative to the traditional wedding gown.
You don't have to be leaving town to choose a destination wedding dress. The name lends itself to the fact that these bridal gowns are usually made of softer, lighter fabrics that pack easily and travel well.
However, these informal wedding gowns are nothing less than spectacular with sleek lines, and simple designs. Today, more and more brides-to-be are choosing to stray from the multi layers of frill and lace in favor of the simplistic beauty of a destination wedding dress.
Lightweight fabrics such as chiffon, organza, silk, rayon, crepe or crinkle cotton are extremely popular and practical. They are cool, elegant and comfortable. The lightweight, wrinkle resistant qualities of such fabrics make your precious wedding gown very "packable".
Styles range from truly elegant full length gowns to romantic tea length. Sexy slip dresses and halter styles are also very popular and beautiful. For a casual beach wedding dress, consider a sarong or a Hawaiian holoku.
The cost for such a dress itself warrants consideration, especially for the frugal bride on a tight budget. You can easily keep the cost of your beach wedding dress under $300.00 without sacrificing style at all!
Remember...
Dollars do NOT dictate beauty! Some of the prettiest wedding gowns I have seen, both casual and formal, have been right on eBay... at a fraction of the cost!
It doesn't matter whether you are looking for an informal beach wedding dress for your poolside ceremony, a sunrise or sunset ocean front ceremony, or if you are planning to wed onboard a luxury cruise liner...
The destination wedding dress is perfect for every wedding style!
One more thing...
When traveling to your wedding destination, do NOT entrust the safe keeping of your wedding gown to airline attendants. Not long ago, as I stood in the Jacksonville airport, I watched one young girl break down as a baggage handler, presented her with her wedding dress accompanied by an apology. The garment bag was torn open and there were black tire prints on her lovely silk gown. It had apparently slipped off the side of the baggage trolley and been driven over, then dragged back to the terminal from the plane.
Don't let this happen to you!
To order a crochet wedding dress, you have to understand that the wedding dress must be ordered well in advance of the wedding because adequate time must be given for the dress to be finished by the wedding date. The length of time that it takes to make your dress will depend on how many workers will be creating your dress.
Pre-Order Dresses Well In Advance Of Wedding.
There is an alternative to pre-ordering a dress and that is to buy a pre-made crochet dress or an antique crochet wedding dress.
Most crochet dresses are handmade as opposed to being spun on machines, for this reason you tend to find that they appreciate in value and are quite often kept as family heirlooms and passed down the generations for use in future weddings.
Accessories To Accompany Your Dress.
A couple of good things to accessorize your dress are a crochet veil and headpiece. Will the veil you have to bear in mind the material that it is made from as this can not be too heavy otherwise it will heang too heavy over the face or impede your site.
You could choose to accessorize your dress based on what was worn with the original Irish crochet wedding gown or pick a style that is original and suits your own personality.
If a veil is not something that your are fond of wearing you could choose an alternative such as a crocheted rose or flower for your hair. This then ties back into the theme of your dress and complements it.
Generally speaking handmade crocheted material tends to be quite dainty however this does not mean that it can't be bulky, it's a good idea to ensure that the bulkiness of any accessories is matched against the actual dress.
Styles For Crocheted Dresses.
There is very little by way of style that is not compatible wuth a crochet dress. The only thing to bear in mind is that if you have a flowing long skirt you may need a stiffish underskirt to hold it out.
These dresses uphold a history of great tradition and yet can be combined with newer styles and innovations. They do give a bride the chance to be imaginative and great amounts of detail can be added in order to customize the dress.
