Buying Wedding Dresses

Selecting a wedding dress requires a lot of thought and planning as you have to keep in mind the time of the year, the location of your wedding ceremony and the time of the day. For a church wedding, there's nothing better than an elegant gown complete with a long train; but for a dinner party or an afternoon lunch, a short, structured dress is more suitable.

• Weddings have eternally been associated with whites, ivory and pale pastel shades, which are the most sought after colors for a wedding gown or dress. If you wish to be experimental, you can stretch the color palette further and wear bold colors like red, purple or gold. The disadvantage with these scintillating colors however, is that they don't merge with most color themes and tends to stand out; which is why shades of white are a safer bet. After you've finalized a color, you can accordingly choose dresses for bridesmaids, and also set a dominant color theme for the ceremony that will compliment your dress. Make sure your dress and the décor contain as less of black as possible.

• Have you ever considered buying a discount wedding dress? By buying one, you can choose from the immense volume available and also get a nice bargain. There are principally four advantages of buying a discount wedding gown:

1. The sheer volume of dresses available at these stores is because of the enormous number of wedding dresses that are sold off by brides, and also from the contribution of various wedding stores.

2. When you enter a store selling discount wedding gowns, you'll be spoilt for choice as they will be hundreds of gowns to choose from, each different in style. If you can save yourself from being dazzled by the best dresses in town, you will surely be able to make a wise purchase. Furthermore, you can also try on different styles and not buy older designs.

3. This is the place to be if you want a designer dress at one third the original price. If you had spotted a Reem Acra wedding dress at an expensive designer store a year ago, you can be sure to find it at a discount wedding dress store than at the designer store which stores dresses from the current season.

4. The most important reason for buying a discounted wedding dress rather than an original piece is because it will not cost you a fortune. Designer dresses, such as a Reem Acra one will retain its elegance and one-of-a-kind design even if it came into the market two seasons earlier. Your gain will be entirely in terms of the price. When you're splurging on a designer wedding outfit, you may still have to shell a large sum of money, but that will still be less than half the price of the original. Similarly, depending on the designer, you can buy outfits for even as low as $500.

For the best bargains and an enormous collection of wedding dresses, it is a must to pay a visit to discount wedding dress stores.
