Irish Wedding Dresses

The majority of brides I meet are looking for unique wedding dresses. Whatever from camo to Gothic wedding dresses are being thought about by today's bride-to-be. Introducing color is right on becoming more beloved with brides feeling this is a good way to express their personality whilst at the same time giving their wedding a unique feel.

In aged Ireland blue was in fact the beloved color of a wedding dress, the all-white wedding gown not becoming beloved until relatively recently. So as a subtle way of incorporating your Irish inheritance on your wedding day you may wish to wear a blue dress or a white or ivory dress with a blue trim. Someone else subtle tip is to have Irish bluebells as part of your bridal bouquet.

Dresses Contemporary

In these economically intriguing times many brides-to-be are prudently on the surveillance for cheap wedding attire. Fantasize then if, instead of spending months trying to find the exquisite wedding dress, you decided instead to just wear your best frock on your wedding day? This was the custom of the farming classes in aged Ireland, the focus being on the practicality of wearing something that can be worn again. This may be taking the conception of cheap wedding dresses to the ultimate but it has got me mental about buying a gown that can be worn again whether as it is, adorned with contemporary accessories or even dyed a dissimilar color. right on more thrifty than splurging on one of those Vera Wang wedding dresses we keep reading about (thanks Chelsea Clinton!)

If you are committed to wearing an Irish wedding dress, one of the most beautiful ways of reflecting your Irish inheritance in your wedding dress is to adorn the gown with handcrafted Irish lace. One example of the type of lace you could use is Carrickmacross lace where the lace designs are embroidered on a very fine net backing. This makes it easy to attach the lacework to the dress. An alternative is Kenmare lace which is a very fine needlepoint style of lace based on the detached buttonhole stitch.

Another way of honouring Irish tradition, and this is particularly beneficial if you are getting married in the winter months, is to wear a hooded cloak, known as the Kinsale cloak, over your wedding gown. In fact, English actress Billie Piper wore something of this nature when marrying Laurence Fox on New Year's Eve 2007 (which incidentally is one of the best times to get married, according to Irish custom).
