Summer Wedding Dress Ideas

By Jone King


If you're getting married while you're pregnant then double congratulations to you! You will, of course, be wondering about your wedding dress and how you'll be able to find something that both fits comfortable and makes you look gorgeous... Well here are a few pointers to help you along the way to finding your perfect maternity wedding dress.

While it is true that fashions often change, few sartorial trends have been as consistent as the white wedding gown. However, wedding dresses ukdesigners and retailers have reported a slight increase in non-white gowns over the past decade. Most industry insiders believe that the popularity of the white dress has fallen off a bit due to the sharp increase in wedding costs.

The cost of the average wedding nearly doubled from the 1990s into the 21st century. But when the Great Recession hit, bridal budgets fell for the first time in decades. In 2008, the average wedding budget dropped by nearly a quarter, down to $21,814. Then in 2009, it fell again, down to $19,581. Why the precipitous decline? Well, it's simple-couples have less money and time than they did before. As a result, they are planning less formal affairs. Not surprisingly, as conventions are relaxed, brides feel more comfortable embracing new trends.

A number of weddings will be held in outside locations this summer including tropical gardens and beaches. These more simple gowns are the perfect match for such a venue. They are body skimming and rely on the lay of the fabric to create an eye-catching look rather than the fullness of the skirt or large trim on the bodice.

A great summer wedding dress idea for those on a budget is to check out prom dress collections for this year. They'll just be going on sale and are often fashioned after the most popular wedding designs on the market for the same year. They also come in a wide variety of lengths and colors including white and off-white, some with colorful trim.
