Simply Lovely!Lots of brides select a casual wedding these days and there are some absolutely gorgeous wedding dresses for the casual setting whether it be a beach or somewhere meaningful to the betrothed couple. While I love parties, the fancier the better, I still think some of the most lovely brides have been the casual ones. It not only saves huge amounts of money but the brides always seem so beautifully relaxed. I guess the stress level is much reduced and that's got to be good for everybody. Occasionally the brides Mother isn't totally happy about it at the beginning but when she sees her baby radiant in a casual wedding dress that really suits her persona she'll come around! They always do! This one is really more of an evening dress but I love the simplicity of it. If the wedding is informal and evening it's a lovely choice. This one would be quite breathtaking in candlelight. By eDressme of New York, an Ivory Evening Dress by Mary L Couture Style # 3622 and priced at $158. It's a long evening gown with a gathered bust, fitted bodice with thin spaghetti straps and a tie back with draped detail.
Now while you're looking at eDressme, take a look at this Nicole Miller Antique White Satin Evening Gown. Style CO0025 $595.00. It's really two dresses in one. Deep V neckline with crisscross back straps or the crisscross back straps can be worn in the front to create a keyhole style. the skirt is full length with a trailing train. The train can be ditched at some point. But perhaps, you are determined to wear a nice short little frock that shows you abhor the classic long gowns from formal weddings. Here's one you will like I think at Nordstrom's. It's a Calvin Klein Surplice Bodice Silk Dress with charmeuse shimmers at the pleated straps, ruched waist and hem of a chiffon dress. It's a little cutie and is item # 150690 at $158.00. Here's another button of a dress at Nordstrom's, ABS by Allen Schwartz Embellished Silk Party Dress. Sheer ribbon straps with sequin-and-bead trim wrap to a V-shape in back, matching the trim at the shirred bodice and Empire waist. Soft skirt has pleated chiffon panels at the center front and back. Item # 196188 $348.00. So how about a dress for a wedding guest at an informal wedding . Ah ha, you have one of those coming up and so do I! This is one I'm looking at Bloomingdale's, a BCBG Max Azria Sequined Mini with Taffeta Bow and sleeveless squareneck in allover sequins. Taffeta straps fall into V-back and end with a lush bow. Zip back closure. Item Number: 71530 It's in Grape Combo, 100% silk/ Contrast: 100% polyester/ Lining: 66% silk, 34% polyester. It's quite sharp and short and priced at $230, on sale from $460.
