You can select the half sleeves up to the elbow with a puff, sleeveless ones that are popular today, and spaghetti straps in skin colors or off the shoulder sleeves to expose your beauty. Choose the neckline of the Couture wedding gowns to be high or low, off the shoulder, portrait, and sweet heart or to have one sleeve with a trapezium typed neck. Backless gowns will suit you and would expose your beauty especially if your shoulders are fleshy and broad.

The shorter, longer or tea length wedding gowns with flowing and floating materials will look flattering to a variety of body types. There are a wide variety of Couture wedding gowns available these days and a bride getting ready for her wedding could easily find one to have a style she adores in one of the online stores. The style should not only compliment your body type but also should make you feel comfortable on the day of your wedding.

Difference between Couture Wedding Gowns and Ready-To-Wear Wedding Dress Sydney

Choosing perfect dress is what most girls dream of from a very youthful age. It is exciting to be a princess for a day with so many dresses to choose from, it is vital for brides to decide between couture wedding gowns and ready-to-wear wedding dresses. Here are some points to be keep in mind for making such crucial decision for your great day.

Although couture wedding gowns are a popular preference because they give brides the chance to wear a outfit that is perfectly suitable to their own style and body shape, ready to wear wedding dresses Sydney are usually more budget friendly. However, if you are trying to work according to budget, a ready to wear wedding dress Sydney may be the means to take. And keep in mind that just because a outfit isn't among designer bridal dresses doesn't mean you will have to settle for an ill-fitting dress.

However couture gowns are becoming all the time more popular as you are accurately getting a one of a kind design that was made especially for you. Because of their price, many people can agree that couture wedding gowns are better class than ready to wear wedding gowns from Sydney and as a result of the quality, they will last longer.

Because couture wedding gowns last longer, most brides feel more relaxed wearing something which is more durable. Ready to wear wedding dress are not always as durable. In view of the fact that you won't be wearing it on a regular basis, you don't have to be concerned about durability of the dress.

With wedding gowns Sydney you can make to order not only the fit, but you can blend and select the materials and design elements that you truly love. When you choose a wedding gown the possibilities are endless.

While selecting couture wedding dress makes sure you just don't break the bank so you can say, you had a couture dress.

Wedding Shoes - Add a little color at bargain prices!

The idea of adding a little color under the dress has been widely popular. I see a lot of "real wedding" pics with brides showing off their shoes. Having a color shoe that matches your wedding theme makes options endless - and I love shoes! I fell in love with this purple silk shoe from Nine West and what a bargain it is from Amazon's shoe site 6pm.com:

Original Price: $89.00 - On Sale for $27.95

This particular shoe is also offered in Black Silk and Taupe Silk. Add in free shipping and you just scored! 6pm.com offers name brand shoes and sometimes you can score these shoes at deeply discounted prices! It's a great site to shop at and they have (literally) 1000's of shoes! I was browsing the Clearance section and look at these deals:

Regular Price: $69.00 - On Sale: $20.70

HOT! This Martinez Valero shoe is regularly $149 but you can get it for $36.99

It is also available in French Blue, the color shown above which is a pretty popular wedding shoe color!

One of my favorite bridal shoe designers is Pour La Victoire. Gorgeous shoes but, they are not cheap! So, finding them at bargain prices is a big deal! Many white and ivory satin designs feature blue leather soles that read "I DO" in sparkling rhinestones. But, their colored shoes are also trendy, well made shoes you would pick as your go-to favorite! This morning I saw a "Real Wedding" on La Magnifique and the bride was wearing the "Divia" by Pour La Victorie in Royal Blue Satin! I found the same pair, in a pretty Silver satin:

Original Price $166.00 - On Sale for $41.99 (only in select sizes!)

I do love the Royal Blue Satin color though so I had to sneak in these! The "Baylie" is available in 5 colors and lots of sizes are available!

Regular Price: $155.00 - On Sale for $39.99

The most personal shoe you will ever own: Figgie Shoes

When you start planning your wedding, one thing you will realize is that there are a lot of things you can personalize to make the day yours. After the big day you will keep certain mementos. You most likely won't pull out your wedding gown and wear it again but, your shoes are a different story. While out shopping yesterday, I stopped in an accessory store and saw this quote:

"I don’t know who invented the high heel, 

but all men owe him a lot."

That is a quote from...Marilyn Monroe. That quote remind me about a site I ran across that I wanted to share: Figgie Shoes. Shoes are personal. Figgie shoes are ridiculously personal—their purpose is to try and explain, in picture and personality, who YOU are, to anyone who happens to be looking.

Figgie Shoes offer custom hand-painted footwear for all occasions and they will tell YOUR one of a kind love story. For information on pricing, shoe styles, and any other questions, you can contact the artist: deborah@figgieshoes.com and if you would like to try and win a pair of your very own Figgie Shoes visit Get Married and register by November 28th!
