Denim Dresses

There are plenty of brides who shy away from the traditional white wedding. Theme weddings are becoming more and more popular, with some couples choosing some very unusual themes.  I generally love theme weddings because they tend to look great, and have a special atmosphere, especially if the theme chosen represents a shared interest.

If you are your partner share an interest in the wild west, line dancing or wrangling, then how about a denim wedding dress for your western themed wedding?  Sat'n Spurs not only have a full selection of denim wedding dresses, but they also have a range of western gifts for your guests, cowboy cake toppers and more touches to help you complete the look.

I have to admit that I am a huge fan of denim, and at the peak of my obsession owned 14 pairs of jeans.  This site caters of denim fans of all shapes and sizes, with a dedicated range of dresses for 'Big, Beautiful Brides'.  If you are looking to add a more subtle touch of denim to your wedding day, then their denim garter is a great way to sneak a bit of your western passion into a traditional wedding outift.

Maria La Fuente

Maria La Fuente is the designer behind this gorgeous and exuberant gown.  Overflowing with celebrity style, her gowns show her commitment and passion for design, creating unusual gowns that test the boundaries of the wedding dress genre.

Her designs are exquisitely feminine, so it's no suprise that her latest collection 'Mantis' is inspired by the 'color combinations, symmetry and fragile texture' of butterfly wings.   La Fuente says that she wanted to create a look of 'risky silhouettes and organic shapes.' 

Just one of many European designers who are the fashion secrets of the stars, she has been featured in hundreds of glossy fashion magazines, including several appearances in Vogue.  Celebrity fans include Shannon Elizabeth (American Pie), Marla Sokolov (The Practice) and Debra Messing (Will and Grace).

Visit her website or check back with us in February to see her new collection from the Madrid Fashion Week 2009.

Red Shoes for Red Carpet Brides

January usually sees the start of Oscars hype, and all eyes at The Wedding Fashion Files turn toward the stars and which designers they will be wearing down the red carpet. All of that red has gone to my head, and tainted my vision. Not that I mind of course, as it makes a nice bright addition to the dreary grey landscape of winter.

Many brides choose to add a touch of red to their winter wedding, and this design from Alfred Angelo is one of their best sellers. Although the sash is available in over 30 colors, the deep red outsells them all.

But I do love a bride who dares to be a little bit different, and I love the recent trend of wearing red shoes. The color adds a dash of fun and festivity to a wedding outfit, and says a lot about the bride. You have to be very comfortable with who you are to take such a bold departure from tradition, and in my experience, the brightness of the shoes always matches the brightness of the bride's smile. You won't find a serious, solemn bride wearing these shoes, no sir!

Red shoes are strictly for brides who have learned to love, laugh and learn in life and above all, have fun.

Be a real Barbie bride

Barbie is looking great for her age. 2009 will be her 50th birthday, and although her figure has been modified in recent years to reflect the curves of a more modern women, she is still in great shape.

To celebrate the golden event, Vera Wang will be designing a new wedding dress, to be created in miniature for Barbie herself, and also in 'real-life' size.

It's not the first time the designer has been inspired to create for Barbie, having previously designed a mermaid-style wedding gown for the babe. Other well known names such as Reem Acra and Carolina Herrera have also reached for their miniature manequins and teamed up with Barbie creators Mattel to create a collectable doll in the past.

And if the life-size dress isn't quite within your budget, consider snapping up one of the limited edition Barbies. Other versions featuring designer wedding dresses can now fetch over $200!

Celtic Wedding Dresses

Medieval style weddings have seen a huge rise in popularit over the past two decades,  with more and more couples choosing renaissance, celtic or fairytale inspired wedding themes for their ceremony.  The main feature of these types of wedding is the style of clothing.  By choosing a Celtic wedding dress, brides can abandon the structure of a conventional white wedding gown and opt for a more personal expression of their personality, and beliefs. 

Celtic wedding gowns offer a variety of natural, romantic styles with dashes of colour, embroidery and symbolism not seen in most mainstream bridal stores.   Corsets and bodices flatter any shape while flowing fabrics forgive problem areas that you may feel self-concious of in the modern trends of strapless, sleeveless wedding gowns.  

Consider that most Celtic wedding gowns are custom made to your own specifications, heritage and measurements, and you will be sure to walk down the aisle in a one of a kind creation that perfectly suits you.
