Ranging from little girls fantasizing about their big day all the way to middle aged woman seeking potential husbandry for reasons more than pretty flowers and tasty cake, marriage always seems to be on people’s minds. We’ve all thought about the prospect of marriage, especially in this day and age, when we no longer have to be legally bound to a man to gain approval from society. The rate of marriages has gone down since the nuclear family heyday of the 1950s (what with the threat of a looming divorce and heaps of paperwork) but many women – and men – still feel marriage is an important life step. So is wearing the right wedding dress.
The wedding dress is the part where a woman must not go wrong. It is the shining glory of her wedding day. It must transform her into the most beautiful princess and make her feel as though she is in a fairy tale. For many years, the Western World’s interpretation of the wedding dress (a classic white gown) has been a staple, varying slightly on neckline, cut, and hem. But now we are in a stage where it is no longer hip to stay inside the proverbial fashion box. Women these days want more. Designer Elie Saab can definitely help with that. His avant-garde wedding dress, pictured below, can definitely transport brides to another world. The trend is surfacing, one toward abstract, luxurious and avant-garde wedding dresses, and it is being fed by some very well known designers. In Fall 2009 Christian Lacroix premiered his contribution to this trend: a wedding dress with red and yellow notions and embroidery, reminiscent of an elaborate Geisha ensemble. As well, Chanel showed their own take on this trend via a tiered crinoline mini-dress with a train exploding from the underside. Today we’re free to explore our options in regards to marriage, and in regards to the shock value of our wedding dress. What fun!
