A Unique Wedding Dress Story

Posted on by

Previously I began a discussion about wedding dresses. The significance of a wedding gown is very important to some families. In many cases wedding dresses are passed down from generation to generation. Brides wear the same dresses worn by their mothers, grandmothers, and soon to be mother-in-laws. The dress carries a great significance to the wedding and to the marriage. However I came across one story of love in which a bride wore a wedding dress with even more significance than the passing down through the history of family brides. The story all began when John Wakely was in World … Continue reading →

Trends in Wedding Dresses

Posted on by

It is very interesting to look at fads and styles that come in and out of the fashion world. It can also be fun to look at the areas that they hit first and how they eventually trickle down to other areas. Many of these fads will come and go and then return once again a few years later.

Our forefathers and mothers would have never dreamed of the idea of a maternity wedding gown. However, times have now proven that indeed there is a market out there for maternity wedding dresses. In fact there is a company that has completely dedicated its business to creating maternity wedding gowns for those in need. Expectant Bride is a UK company that … Continue reading →

Celebrity Fashion Designers—-Gimme a Break!

It’s no secret that Hollywood A-lister’s don’t have to have knowledge of fashion design (or fashion sense for that matter) to have an entire collection created in their name. These days you can buy leggings by Lindsay Lohan, jeans by Justin Timberlake, dresses by Madonna and tank tops by Jude Law’s ex-girlfriend Sienna Miller. But the latest round of celebrities turned fashion designers has me rolling my eyes in ways I didn’t think possible. Take for example Britney Spears. The reforming popwreck had custody of her two young sons stripped from her following her public meltdowns, yet she’s now in … Continue reading →
