Your wedding gown is unique. Beside baptism and graduation, marriage is one of the great celebrations of a woman's life. It truly is the one and only time in your life in which you'll be in your glory as the bride.
Throughout history, women have tried to make their wedding gown special to suit the occasion and to make the beautiful bride even lovelier to look at.
To this end, designers use silk, velvet, satin, lace and fabrics woven with gold and silver. Additionally, many of todays gowns have sequins, pearls, rhinestones and other gems that glitter and sparkle in the light.
This season, gowns come in white, ivory and gold, as well as a variety of colours or coloured embroidery. Choosing your gown is one of the most important decisions you will make when planning your wedding. Make sure you get exactly what you have been dreaming of.
