Evening Gowns

Evening gowns are not only for evening occasions. As such, when you own one, then you can definitely wear the same in another party -provided that the parties are at least three months apart and are not attended by the same guests, otherwise, people will think that your dress is your any-occasion uniform!

While it is lovely to be in a fabulous long gown, the task of finding the perfect dress for you is somewhat gruelling. There are so many things to consider; there are a thousand evening gowns to fit before you set eyes on the perfect one. Choosing an evening gown is like choosing from among a variety of wedding cakes, you can't decide what to get unless you've been into almost all cake shops in your town, or your country.

One of your most treasured memories of your wedding is your wedding dress. You will have your photo albums, maybe some dried flowers but what about your dress?

Whether you want to preserve your wedding gown for a daughter or granddaughter to wear, or for that special 5th year anniversary, or just to look at remember that special day, it's important that it is done right.

Without proper preservation your wedding gown could deteriorate, develop spots or actually change color over time.

It's important to either ask a lot of questions or study the company's methods to make sure your gown will look beautiful for years to come. Some brides think that sealing their gown in a plastic bag and hanging it in their closet is all that's necessary. Some companies charge $500 to clean and preserve a wedding gown.

All wedding gowns get dirty. No mater how careful brides are they hem drags around the ground or floor and gets dirty. Even if an anti-perspirant is use there still will be under-arm problems, some visable some not. Make-up can easily transfer onto the dress when taking it on or off. Another area along the top to the bodice where the dress rubs against your chest also can be a problem. That doesn't count the accidental cake, wine, coffee, soda or other stains that can make a mess of your dress.

Top Wedding Dress Trends For 2009 and 2010

By Cori Russell

Want to ensure a fashion-forward look for your upcoming 2009 or 2010 wedding? From sleek silhouettes to mini-dresses and tiered gowns, these latest looks for wedding gowns will help you put your best fashion foot forward to get you down the aisle in style.

Sleek Silhouettes
Slim is the silhouette of choice for the modern wedding dress - as sheaths, trumpets, and column wedding dresses ruled the runways. Don´t fret if you´ve always dreamed of donning a billowy ball gown, however, as this traditional style never goes out of style.

Colorful Details
Modern brides are experimenting with color to tie their ensembles into the color scheme. Adding a splash of color to the basic white gown remains popular through colorful sashes and appliqué details, or more dramatically through two-toned wedding gowns with a colored bodice against a white or off-white skirt.

High Hemlines
Not afraid to show a little leg, today´s brides are embracing the tea-length and mini shift dresses that have become de rigueur in nearly every wedding dress designer´s latest collections. The trend makes sense for destination weddings calling for laid back attire and brides opting to don a second dress for dancing the night away at the reception.

Tiered Skirts
Whether chiffon, tulle, organza, or even feathers - layers of fabric are the newest major detail designers are playing with to create soft, yet dramatic gowns. This flowing style is perfect for the bride who is a romantic at heart.

Floaty Fabrics
Dresses weighted down by heavy crepes, matte satins and silks are lightening up to fabrics like taffeta and organza. These airy fabrics are easy to layer and more comfortable for a gown worn for up to 10 hours. And for brides having a summer wedding, donning a lighter fabric will ensure they´re glowing - not sweaty and red-faced - on their wedding day.

One Shoulder
This asymmetrical look is a hot fashion trend that has crossed over into the bridal world to update the basic strapless gown. Carrying a simple, no fuss vibe, the one shoulder gown is a great option for a destination wedding. Bonus points for those blessed with toned limbs, as this neckline shows off the upper arms and shoulders.

Practical Pockets
Having graced gowns for a few seasons, pockets remain hot in 2009. The style lends a casual vibe for relaxed events, and - perhaps best of all - it´s practical too, allowing brides to keep essentials like lip gloss or tissues on hand throughout the day.
