When I started to think of "BEACHY" wedding dresses, I could only describe it as a floating fabric, lightly colored and that it can be worn with ease. No restricted movements can be made.
I’ve looked at photos on a famous magazine brand’s site; glamour.com from one of their writers Megan Gustashaw, and, my impression of her 36 Dreamiest Beach-Friendly Wedding dresses is simplicity with elegance. I can also resemble this with what Ms. Angelina Jolie wore at the red carpet screening of the movie Inglorious Basterds at the Cannes Festival. Browsing articles from the dailymail.co.uk to the lookbook.com, I can describe that Ms. Jolie was wearing a Tea Rose colored, backless, thigh high slit Versace gown. It is showing its simplicity by having no jewels, glitter or any embellishments on the gown and making it elegant with its strategically sewn wrinkly lines that look like drapery over the bust, perfect for a chiffon fabric.
When we are at the beach, most of us feel the comfort that the sand gives when it touches our feet. Maybe that is why most of the “BEACHY” wedding dresses I personally viewed from ads, magazines and online editorials were loose from the waist or hip, down to the feet. Weddings are stressful enough to plan so taking off those shoes, and walking in the sand with your husband to be in your wedding dress, while watching the sun set sounds like a lovely idea, don’t you think?
Golden Globes just ended which had me viewing prospects for "BEACHY" wedding dresses. One of which is Drew Barrymore wearing a sheer pink long dress with red and pink eggshell shaped flower appliqués. A beautiful idea for Preggy brides. Filipino designer Monique Lhuillier who’s famous for designing bridal gowns, made Ms. Barrymore's dress which had ...

...é on the spot. But no, please do not do that. A wedding is supposed to be a special part of your life and there is nothing more special than wearing your beach dress, immortalized by a photo on your wedding day. Be wise on choosing your wedding dress. Have a budget for it. That is why there is a thing called “wedding preparation”. You have to plan and prepare the budget starting from your location up to your wedding dress. Never compromise your “Beachy” wedding dress with anything but your feelings. It is mostly important that you show the kind of person you want to remember yourself on your wedding day. However, be it made by a friend, a famous designer or your mother, whether be a romantic, feel like royalty, daring, simple or elegant, short tailed or ruffled, nothing compares to the feeling of looking at a design for the first time and saying, “This is the ONE!”

I have been to Florida a billion times, but there are only two places that I normally visit. Sanibel Island and Destin. Traveling to Sanibel Island is almost like a tradition for my family because every year we try to go down there. My grandparents first went to Sanibel with my whole family (cousins and all) about 15 years ago and ever since then, it has been our family’s main “vacation spot”. I have gone to Sanibel almost every year, but last year I also went to Destin. Now the main reason we decided to go there as well is because we wanted to travel somewhere nearby the panhandle of Florida. The water and beaches are also very contrasting in comparison to Sanibel. Sanibel’s beaches even had heaps of sea shells going out into the water. The sand is also more dense than that of Destin. Even Sanibel’s water is darker and more cloudy, so it was crazy to see Destin’s water so clear! The beach (which is called Emerald Cove, where I stayed at) had sand that was so white and soft it
Bridesmaids would wear matching blue jean cut-offs and halter tops – with more skin showing than not.
Kim Addonizio gives stereotypes a whole new meaning by closely looking into the most typical clichés there are. Out of the many clichés, she touches the lust for that one tight; flimsy, cheap, revealing dress. These clichés' scorn women for wanting to wear a dress that may be too revealing looks cheap or looks “too” tight. Many women are subjected to this stereotype because it “typically” doesn’t conform to others’ opinions. She mentions this in her poem by saying “ I want a red dress./I want it flimsy and cheap,/I want it too tight, I want to wear it/until someone tears it off of me.” (1-4). Addonizio

The future of women’s fashion is uncertain—in that shock value is harder to come by with each passing year. There is a concept in fashion that nothing is new, everything has been done before. This theory is coming closer to obvious reality, as fashion shows of recent years have visual throwbacks as late as the Victorian era. Although the direction is not yet decided, it is almost definite that women will use fashion as an important tool for expression and freedom in the future.
“ Because of its sober styling the little black dress enhances the personality of the women wearing it.” Hubert de Givenchy
It is not possible to ignore the fact that fashion plays an overwhelming part of everyone’s life all over the world, when some of the leading women, Michelle Obama for example, is looked over for their choice of fashion. Many a times fashion is labeled as fickle and irrelevant even when we know that it evokes a mood just like music, art or architecture do. Due to the wide range of human and social aspects within its ambit, it is also a topic of scholarly study by sociologists, psychologists and anthropologists.

The chosen garment that will be discussed in detail in this essay is the Royal wedding dress designed for Catherine (Kate) Middleton, The Duchess of Cambridge made by the English designer Sarah Burton creative director of the fashion label Alexander McQueen. This essay will cover the topics of this dress in terms of historical and cultural context, the formal elements and its meaning.
Clothing has been around for thousands of years; almost as long as the modern human has. At first, it served the practical purpose of protection from the elements; but, as life for early humans stopped being a constant struggle to survive, they started noticing how they looked and the concept of fashion began to take shape. These first few garments were typically dyed draped cloth that was pinned at the shoulder and/or waist. This was seen in many ancient civilizations around the world, Greek and Roman the most notable. Over time, clothing began to get more and more complex and formed to the body’s shape, eventually leading up to the tailored style we now have today. However, the sophisticated world of Haute Couture; or high fashion, can distinctly trace its roots to Paris during the mid-19th century. Clothing from there was thought to be superior to those from anywhere else, and women began to come from all over Europe just to buy dresses. This was probably due in part to one notable dressm...
Attire & more: Weddings in winters means that the bride and the groom and the people attending the wedding have a lot more to showcase in terms of style. This is, given the fact that the chill will give way to a lot of lace and fur and accessorization which otherwise would be a closed chapter given the heat of the summers. While the bride need not worry about carrying that awfully heavy wedding dress full with additions and accessories which they would really dread in the summer season, options of doing their dresses with various heavy fabrics like satin, lace and fur gives a lot of space to experiment too! The other very famous fashion accessorize that are doing the rounds this winter are nothing but the fur muffs and the ear muffs which the bride along with her bride maids can sport in this season.
