Elegant Bridal Gowns What to L

This year, the watchword in wedding gowns is “elegance”. Pure, drop-dead, delicious
elegance. Whether the look is contemporary, traditional or high couture, the overall feel
on the wedding runways is unmistakable, it’s a return to la Belle Epoch, a world of chic
elegance and graceful, dramatic silhouettes. Here’s what to be on the lookout for if you’
re shopping for a wedding gown in the Spring/Summer 2009 season.Asymmetrical LinesAsymmetry
is definitely in this season, but that doesn’t mean that the look is lopsided. The
elegance is in the details and the execution. One of the most elegantly asymmetrical
dresses for Spring 2009 is Priscilla of Boston’s Style 1408, a stunning one-shoulder ball
gown that features a draped bodice and asymmetrical waistline to balance the asymmetrical
neckline. The effect is just as lovely from the back as it is from the front with the drop
waist echoing the diagonal of the one-shouldered bodice.SilhouettesThe most prominent
silhouette in this season’s range of elegant wedding gowns is the “fit-to-flare”, a cut
that is flattering for most figures. The dress is cut to fit the torso, and then flares
below the hip into a wide swirl. The most exaggerated fit-to-flare cut is the trumpet
flare, which starts slim and swirls into a ground-sweeping flare at the floor. Another very
flattering silhouette for your big day is the A-line dress, a classic wedding gown Louis
Vuitton Jewelry shape that fits closely at the bodice, and then flares out softly to the
hem. Perhaps the most elegant wedding gown for a formal, traditional wedding though, is the
ball gown, which combines a fitted bodice with a bell-like skirt.
