Dream Dresses You’ll Adore

At BestforBride, we love to show off our inspiring collection of bridal dresses; after all, we’re proud of the workmanship, style and quality of every single piece in our inventory. If you’re shopping around for a lovely gown that fulfills all of your fairytale dreams, you’ll adore these “dream dresses”…each one is designed to highlight everything that is beautiful about you…

Whether you’re looking for a unique, wild-rose colored confection that makes your complexion glow, or snowy-white fashionable wedding dresses with lush embroidery and luxurious fabric, you’ll really enjoy seeing what’s hot for this season…

Here is our quick guide to the most desirable dream dresses for spring and summer 2012:

Enjoy Old-world Glamour That is Truly Timeless…

This stunning lace gown features some exciting design details that make it so classic and ladylike…if you’re going for timeless elegance on your wedding day, you’ll absolutely love the way this delicate and feminine frock echoes the spirit of the 1940s.

Known as one of fashion’s most glamorous eras, many stylish gowns from this decade featured the same elements that you will find on our stunning ivory dress…soft, draped sleeves, a sheer fishtail shirt, and a fitted bodice all evoke Old Hollywood style that puts the spotlight on you…

To style this unforgettable dream dress, put your hair up (or go for shiny Rita Hayworth-inspired waves), and paint your lips with a womanly and sultry shade of cool, berry-red lipcolor (such as Revlon’s perennial favorite, Cherries in the Snow, or MAC’s Russian Red)…

A beaded choker necklace will add even more high-fashion appeal to this subtle and refined look…high heels (satin preferred) are a must…

Rosé Satin Gives Brides-to-be a “Lit from Within” Glow…

If you’re looking for something different that isn’t too far off the beaten path, choosing a silky-soft rosé bridal gown may be the right choice for you! Nothing could be more feminine than perfect wedding dresses crafted from the most flattering color of them all.

You’ll access “lit from within” beauty as soon as your lustrous pale-pink gown touches your skin…pink is known for its ability to make women look younger, fresher, and more alluring…

Look for a strapless style (such as the stunning Alfred Sung gown shown above) that gives you a touch of innocent sensuality, or go for lush glamour with row upon row of chiffon ruffles…whatever style you choose, you’ll feel like a princess as you walk down the aisle…

To accessorize a pale pink wedding gown, skip the veil and go for a runway-ready up do…your makeup should be a couple of shades darker than your gown for the best effect. Soft fuschia lips (try Estee Lauder’s Orchid Passion Pure Color Gloss) and rosy cheeks will be all you need to dazzle your guests (and your groom-to-be) on the big day…

Adding pretty drop earrings in rose quartz, pearl or garnet will also look fabulous…choose strappy sandals and a pretty pedicure as the final finishing touch…

Retro-Inspired Wedding Gowns Offer a Touch of Vintage Appeal

Getting inspired by the fashions of other decades can be fun – from the “big shoulder” silhouette of the 1980s, to the delicate embroidered and pleated frocks of the 1940s. If you’re exploring wedding style options, looking at the retro-inspired wedding gowns on this page may give you a little creative energy and help you come up with a cohesive theme – from engagement rings to wedding decor ideas to your white wedding dress – that will make your wedding day unforgettable…

Inspired by the Eighties

A strong shoulder is one of the most distinctive signatures of 80s-inspired fashion. 80s style icons, such as the devilish Alexis Carrington of Dynasty, (played by the raven-haired actress, Joan Collins) used the strong shoulder silhouette to look sexy and powerful.

This type of bridal dress look definitely needs the right hair and makeup – a lot of volume at the crown will work well for wedding hair, as it will help to balance the look, and a swipe of blush high on the cheekbones will set off the unique lines of a strong shoulder wedding gown, such as the style shown above.

If you’re a student of fashion through the decades, why not go for high-style Eighties drama as you walk down the aisle? Not for the meek, this sensational, super-glamorous look is sure to highlight your confidence, bravado, and chic. To get the Alexis Carrington look, go for defined eyes, penciled brows, and a true crimson lip, such as Loreal’s classic Drumbeat Red.

Inspired by The Fifties

Fashions featuring retro details or silhouettes will evoke different emotions, depending on which decade they represent; in the case of the Fifties, innocence, candy-box prettiness, and wholesome, healthy beauty will be highlighted in classic gowns with fitted waists and full skirts. Structured bodices are very 1950s, and so are filmy tulle skirts, wide sash belts, and brocade or lace fabrics.

Floral appliques (such as those found on the gown shown above) are also so very 1950s. To highlight your pin-up charm on your wedding day, use hot rollers to build silky volume into your hair, and style your ‘do in loose, sexy waves that are still under control – Marilyn Monroe is a great style icon for this look. Lips can be cherry-red, hot pink, or bright coral – use your coloring to find the best shade. A fresh-scrubbed look with a vibrant, cheery lip color will be the perfect balance of glamour and 1950s innocence.

Forties-Inspired Elegance

Delicate embroidery, feminine shoulder straps, and sleek, fitted style through the bodice are pure 1940s – pleating was also a feature on many evening dresses from that decade. The white wedding dress shown above offers many details than evoke this elegant era…the look is pure sophistication, and it needs few accessories or extra adornments.

To showcase your beauty on your wedding day, while keeping the 1940s theme in mind, go for sensual smoky eyes that are lined and shadowed in charcoal grey. The rest of your makeup should take a backseat – peachy-pink lips and cheeks will provide a neutral backdrop for sultry eye makeup. Finish your look with two coats of high-quality mascara – Lancome’s Definicils is a great choice.

Your Wedding Dress Will Set the Theme…

Once you’ve come up with a retro-inspired wedding dress, your wedding theme can reflect the charm and appeal of that decade or era. A Forties-inspired gown might inspire a romantic, luxurious wedding with elegant foods, cocktails from the 1940s, and delicate wedding favours and wedding invitations. An 80s-style celebration might be brighter and bolder, with a touch of excess and glitz that evokes the over-the-top spirit of the decade. Whatever you do – have fun with it, and enjoy your special day!

Sleek Wedding Gowns For Sophisticated Brides-to-be

Many brides-to-be are looking for sleeker designs that defy the “Disney princess” stereotype; if you’re not wild about voluminous skirts and frou-frou details …you’re definitely not the only one who’s looking for something different!

Plenty of women want more streamlined bridal gowns that hug the body or fall in a simple column; these dresses don’t usually feature an excess of fabric and embellishment. Luckily, there are a range of gorgeous wedding gowns that are incredibly elegant and refined – these bridal dresses are made for women who appreciate the art of understatement.

In general, sleek gowns will look best when they are accompanied by modern hairstyles, strong makeup, and bold accessories. Examples of famous women who prefer body-conscious, refined evening dresses and bridal gowns include Emily Blunt, Evan Rachel Wood, and Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Confidence is important when choosing a gown that pushes the envelope and reveals your shape; couture details and high-fashion touches require the right attitude. If you’ve got natural presence, and you’re not afraid of stylized and cutting-edge wedding dresses, you’ll probably adore the modern designs shown on this page…

Simple, But Never Plain…

If you want to wear the dress (rather than the dress wearing you!), a simple, flowing column style, such as the striking gown shown above, may be an ideal choice. Designed to highlight the face and hair, as well as the delicacy of a woman’s shoulders, arms, decolletage and throat, a fluid gown like this one shows ladylike confidence. A chic necklace crafted from sheer ribbon and a sparkling pin will add a touch of high-fashion whimsy to this simple and stunning frock.

Show Your Minimalist Style…

A touch of pretty shimmer adds richness to this luxurious strapless wedding gown. Fitted and sleek, this lustrous satin number is incredibly sexy, without being remotely inappropriate. This gown really does underscore the value of simplicity in design; highly flattering and very low-key, it shows superior quality and beauty, without an ocean of ruffles or tulle…

Wear your hair down for added sensuality…skip the veil to put the spotlight on your flowing tresses and tailored bridal gown. Simple high heels, subtle drop earrings, and a delicate jewelled bracelet will be ideal accessories for this type of design…

Makeup Tips

To make the most of your sleek style, put the emphasis on perfect skin; a luminous complexion is the perfect complement to a sleek and stylized dress. To get the right look, use a primer, such as Smashbox Photo Finish – this sort of cosmetic smooths the skin to prepare it for foundation. A great base, such as Laura Mercier’s Creme Smooth Foundation, will give the skin a beautiful glow.

Follow up with pressed powder blush that matches the undertones in your skin. For minimalist eyes, use eye shadows in neutral tones, such as cream, white, and taupe, and limit mascara to the top lashes only. A groomed eyebrow is very important – lightly pencil in your brows to define them, and then make sure they are shaped properly.

For finishing touches, add a rich and sophisticated lip color – treat yourself to a runway-ready tube of Nars Satin Lipstick in Russian Doll (an elegant burgundy). Dust your face with translucent powder to set your foundation and blush.
