Vintage wedding dress color pick out?

Sephora

I emailed to outdress and after a few communication, I decided to order this 50's style wedding dress http://pinterest.com/pin/474003929500852926/ .Their customer service sent some real pictures to me in black,olive drab,white,ivory. I love the one in olive drab,but it seems I should dress in traditional color(white and ivory). What color should I order?

Answer
I have a couple cautions on the green one, but not because you "shouldn't" pick it. Brides are getting very creative these days when it comes to dress color!

The cautions are: First, do you have wedding colors picked out yet and would this work with them? It's particularly an issue with your wedding party. So just make sure that's thought through.

Also, when you say "real" pictures, do you mean hard copy photos? If so, fine. But if they're digital, you need to be careful about exact colors. The same digital photo can look like 3 different shades when viewed on 3 different monitor or phones.

Vintage Themed Wedding?

NoTurningB

My fiance and I are planning a vintage themed wedding. So we have decided to make black and white copies of family members photos (see my question I posted an hour ago) and incorporate them into the reception.

We are going to play all Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole type music during cocktail hour and dinner.

Any other ideas on how to decorate or add to the vintage theme?

Answer
A vintage or a retro theme is definitely unique in its own way, therefore a great idea to have it own your wedding.Here are some more ideas which I feel would add to the party theme.

A Polaroid Photo Guest book would be a great idea to have.
You can capture every moment of your wedding day with the Polaroid instant Pictures and hand written sentiments and expressions from your guests and these combined together in a guest book can become a memento filled with everlasting memories!!
To set the tone of the party, Wedding Invitations for the 30âs era of sophistication can be created with heavy, cream colored paper stock and deco-style fonts with a period clip art.
The Retro Dressing Wareâ¦how would that be?? For the 30âs look, a deco glamour idea would be a sleek and satiny dress found in the vintage dress shops or even at flee markets or thrift shops. They can also be custom made by using new or old vintage fabrics and these can also be easily found in e bay.
Nothing says retro like a tasty, frosting-topped cupcake. They're back in vogue as the height of food fashion. Delicious, colorful cupcakes can be served as the main wedding dessert attraction, substituted for the traditional wedding cake or in addition to a conventional wedding cake. Stack them like a skyscraper or arrange them in a circle to make a peace sign. Cupcakes can easily be decorated in day-glo icing colors for the1960s look or with silvery accents for a Deco finish.
Retro style wedding favors like love beads or peace sign jewelry or putting together a custom-made CD of classic rock tunes would be a great idea. For the 1930s wedding theme idea, linen handkerchiefs for both men and women would add a nice vintage touch. DVD copies of your favorite old comedy movie are sure to delight your guests - and the cover can feature you and your groom in place of Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn for a fun reminder of your own classic romance!

Lemme know if you like these ideas or whether they were of some help to you.

David's Bridal Gown V9462?

misshammy

Any bride out there that had this dress (http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridal_gowns_detail.jsp?stid=3361&prodgroup=10) or one close to it that can send me photos of you and your wedding? Mainly the wedding party? I'm curious how you played it up.. Thanks!!
Hmm.. The link doesn't seem to take you directly to the dress... Search for V9462. That is the model number of the dress.

Answer
Ok, I work at David's Bridal and we have seen some amazing things done with this dress. The dresses that have a lot of lace or overlay are a lot harder to play up with the wedding party than with the solid satin gowns. Those types of dresses look particularly nice paired with the shorter cocktail length dresses such as styles 83262, F13128 and 83266. It's all going to depend on your colors, time of year, and if it is indoors or out. If you have a spring/summer wedding outdoors with shorter desses, I suggest 83162 or F12284. Those dressses look great in a lot of colors. For longer dresses, try F12495. If you have a fall/winter indoor wedding, I suggest the 83259, 83266 or 83262.

I wouldn't suggest a sash. Most people try the sahes to add color and incorporate it throughout, but with the complexity of the lacy overlay, I would stay clear of that. Use a lot of lace in your decorations instead. Use lace in the bridal and bridesmaid's bouquets, in your veil, and on the cake. There are a lot of lace designs to incorporate with your cake and also as overlays for your tables during the reception. You can also create centerpieces using the lace theme.

Schedule your comeback appointment as well as a nonbridal appointment and have your bridesmaids with you (or someone close to you to stand in for them). Have them try on the different styles with your dress and TAKE PICTURES!! Go home, then look at them two days later. Don't make a rush decision. You need to see the pictures when you don't have everyone's opinion fresh in your head. Your wedding consultant should be patient and understand. Let me know how it all works out!

Do bridal shops sell red wedding gowns?

chevyangel

I have been looking for a red wedding dress and I can only find them online I would like to be able to go to a bridal shop and try them on! please help!!!

Answer
My dress is red and came from David's Bridal.

I also went into a store that carried the Alfred Angelo (Or however the heck you spell it) and they had a red dress on the racks.

Some stores also have the option of ordering their dresses in different colors

However,you usually have to ask. Most people just want white dresses so it's rare that they have the colored ones on display anywhere.

Where can I find an affordable wedding dress with color accents?

I have looked at David's Bridal and Alfred Angelo. The dresses with color accents at David's are affordable but too detailed in the front (I mainly want color in the back), and the dresses with color accents by Alfred Angelo are gorgeous and exactly what I want but cost too much. Help!

What do you think of color accents on a wedding dress?

lo im ve

Just wondering...

What do you think of color accents on a wedding dress? For example: http://www.alfredangelo.com/index.cfm/fuseAction/COLLECTIONS.productDetail/fromAdvancedSearch/0/productID/2073cd5b-f5c9-49a9-8d6e-1b2d4380d7a9/categoryID/32e5a88c-cbf1-498f-afcf-dbfca138c5d3

Click on 'detail' underneath the picture to view the front. Do you think its tacky to have a bright color - such as a shade of pink?

Basically I'm in love with this dress, and I would love to have my dress incorporate the color of my maids (dusty rose). I was just wondering if this is totally tacky or cute or......

Answer
Of course it is not tacky. You are the bride, and it is YOUR day.. If you love it, then nothing else matters. This will be a day that you remember forever and will always look back on. You need to be happy with every decision that you make. I personally love the idea of having the color accent.. It lets your personality shine a little instead of having plain white.. Hope this helps! and congrats!!

What colored dress shirt will look good with a black suit?

Nina

Now my brother is 16 and is going for his farewell this March.
For the formal dress code he got a waistcoat suit made but he won't be wearing the coat. That leaves us with the waistcoat, the pant and the shirt.
Now its completely black and he is no mood for a white shirt so he wants color ideas for his shirt.
Plus, good shoe options please. Thank you :)

Answer
Shoes: Black! Maybe brown, but generally black is the way to go.

For shirts, you could do any color under the rainbow! Black is neutral, so it'll pair with anything and everything. It all depends on what he likes and his skin tone, etc.

I personally like bright blues and greens with a subdued tie. Or a nice dark grey dress shirt with a colored (blue,purple,pink) tie.

What tie/shirt colours will work with a black suit and my dress?

Blazoo.

Formal is coming up end of next week, and my boyfriend still has not gotten his suit organised, I'm wearing this dress, the one on the left:

http://www.bestbridalprices.com/images/allure/fall09/q/large/Q200.jpg

I wore his dress to my formal last year, and my partner wore black suit, white shirt, and champagne tie and it looked very classy, but my boyfriend thinks that is boring, and wants a bit of colour. It's really disappointed me because my dress, is actually a rum colour, it's not pink as the photo decieves it as, and it's very hard to find colours that compliment the dress. He is suggesting anything but what would look very classy, and I'm worried it's going to degrade how I look on the night :(

I asked his mum and sister for their thoughts, his sister thinks he could wear light blue or emerald green and it would look great with me, I disagree COMPLETELY, and his mum said he could wear black suit, black shirt, and ocean blue tie, and then get me a blue/champagne colour corsage and that would look amazing apparently, but blue? I just can't get over any bright colours, they in my opinion would just ruin us complimenting each others attire. :(

Ideas please?
My dress is not pink in any way shape or form - so no pink, i've tested pink against it before for my formal last year and it was horrible.

Answer
He should wear a black tie black suit and pinkish brown shirt

Plus size gowns?

Weeeee...

I need to find a mother of the bride gown for my mother for my wedding. She's gone to a few local places I looked at all the major retailers websites but nothing is formal enought for a plus size women that's fashionable she's not a frumpy dresses and she's still youngerish everything we are finding is too old lady style
Any Ideas and go designers that do plus size gowns

Answer
Finding plus-size stuff is a major pain! What you might do is find a good tailor -- try your drycleaner for recommendations, or an upscale department store. Then, together, choose a pattern from the sewing section and choose fabric. With a tailor, you can add special details and make even a simple dress quite elegant. Vogue Patterns might be a good place to start.

The place you bought your wedding dress may be able to re-work a bridesmaid dress for your mother, too. Choose a completely different style, cut off some length and leave off the frou-frou, and it might work.

Wedding dress: bridal salon or dressmaker?

Jenny S

I am a plus size bride and can't find a dress that I like. I like part of on dress and another part of a different one. I am thinking of going to a dressmaker and having my dress made. Does anyone have experience with this?

Answer
No one ever thinks of a larger size wedding dress, nor do they think that a larger size woman cares. Personally, I needed my arms covered, and no distinguishable waist line, so I chose a dress that had an empire waist and was careful of the material that I selected so that nothing was accented harshly. You will need a flow to the bottom of the dress to make you look more even and do try to stay away from strapless or accented bust lines. I was a 'dressmaker when I was young and I know there is a dress for you out there somewhere. Be sure that you discuss what you want with the dressmaker before you blindly choose parts of dresses you like for once the dress is cut, you will no long be able to change your mind. It may be wise to make a trip to a few bridal salons to see what does look best on you and then choose the patterns that you want to follow in your own dress. Good luck and God Bless.

Wedding Color Advice?

cjacque

I am getting married in August of 2011. Our wedding ceremony and reception are both in a large hotel, but in two different rooms. The ceremony has deep red/maroon carpeting and chairs, and the reception room is similar but with some navy involved. Any ideas of color combinations we can use? I originally wanted summery hues like yellow, tangerine, and pink, but don't want it to clash... ideas?

Answer
Do you really think your guests will be looking at your wedding party and thinking to themselves "wow, this is a nice wedding, but the bridesmaids' dresses do not match the floor."

Do you think people will be
a) looking at the walls;
b) looking at the floors; or
c) looking at the faces of the people in front of them

And in a room filled with people, tables, flowers, activity, dancing, drinking...do you really think people are going to really notice the backs of chair covers, the carpeting, or the wallpaper in relationship to your bridesmaids' dresses....especially if the decor sn't so butt ugly and tacky that if screams for attention.

I am almost done planning my wedding. Have picked out the dress and everything.

http://marysbridal.com/quinceanera/4155.htm

The problem is I was not around for my fiance's sisters wedding and today when I was looking at her wedding pic's I noticed she had the same color's! White, Ice blue with Silver.

Should I change my colors or just go with what I want? We are having a Winter Wonderland and the colors are perfect!

My fiance say to put a darker blue in it. Any Ideas? Please help

Answer
I too disagree with the bridezilla "It's my wedding I'll do what I want." But in this case, I don't think you are being a bridezilla by accidental choosing the same colors, but not changing them.

The colors you have chosen are very very common for a winter wedding. Stick with it. If your sister in law was that concerned about being unique, she would have chosen more unique colors. Also, her wedding has obviously been well in the past - and you never mentioned that SHE has a problem with it. So don't over think it.

That would be like me being mad if my brother marries in the springtime like I did, and uses floral-toned colors. Duh. Spring wedding - what do I expect??

Just make sure your wedding is your own, perhaps add a darker shade of blue to the mix like your fiance suggested. Use more crystals than silver when possible. Go with your own flair!

She may even have some things left over she's willing to share.

Unless she had the same bridesmaids dresses, held it at the same reception hall, used all the same decorations as you, your wedding - color aside - will be vastly different.

No worries & good luck.

PS - And although the dress is not my personal taste - I appreciate it's beauty and think you will look lovely in it, especially given your time of year and colors. I LOVE that it has sleeves for a winter wedding - it's perfect for it!!

What nail/lip colour to go with emerald green dress?

AmyG

I'm thinking of wearing a knee-length emerald green dress for an evening out (as in this style but in green http://www.people.com/people/gallery/0,,1160147_7,00.html ) It'll be paired with black pumps and clutch. I'm having troubles with makeup though. I have short black hair. What nail/lip colour shall I use to make the look age appropriate (i'm 24) ? Would a dark red (like Chanel Vamp) be tacky? Or French manicure too demure for the dress?

Thanks for the help!

Answer
Firstly, LOVE the dress - I bet it looks lovely in green!

I think (personally) that if you're wearing black pumps and have a black bag, black polish would keep it together. I am a fan of black polish though, so maybe I am biased ;-)

Deep red would look nice - I love the really deep red that's almost black-red.

Bronze and gold always looks good green too - so that could work if you're wearing gold coloured jewelry.

Good luck - I am sure it'll look nice. Just make sure you use clear polish underneath if you use a dark colour!

Is it OK to match color of man's dress shirt (under suit jacket) to Wife's outfit color?

fashion4du

I am wearing a gold sparkle top with ivory slacks to a wedding in Vegas next month. OK for my Husband to wear a gold dress shirt with golds, whites and browns in the tie (black suit)to match my outfit? We are the Bride's Mother amd Step Father. Bridesmaid dresses are turqoise, brides dress is white with champagne overlay and sash. Will we clash in pictures? Please help1

Answer
It's okay as long as you are not matching too much! And I hope its a soft gold. Not a shiny stand out gold. Mix the colors up! Do not have the top and bottoms the same. EXAMPLE: He's wearing a black suit and a tie with gold and white in it then, Your top half should not be the same. No black top with gold. That's tacky! try wearing those colors but not to an exact match. I hope I helped. And ask your daughter how she feels about that. She may not like it.

Should the man's tie match the woman's dress color?

nmr

If you're dressing for an event such as a marriage or a less formal party, should the tie match the woman's dress color?
Is it old-fashioned or is it up to you?
If you're not wearing a tie should the pocket square match the dress instead?

Answer
Nooooooooo. It shouldn't clash but please don't go matchy matchy. SO tacky. The only situation where this is acceptable is where the colours in question are black and white.

Whats the difference between a wedding dress and a wedding gown?

Mel

Answer
All wedding gowns are wedding dresses, but not all wedding dresses are gowns. (Just like all poodles are dogs, but not all dogs are poodles.) Gowns are long and tend to be formal. Dresses can be long, short, formal, or informal. My wedding dress was a short cocktail-type dress, but not a gown.

Your Wedding Gown?

Q. Where did you purchase your wedding gown?
Did you purchase it online or at a local bridal shop?
Were you satisfied?
Do you think you spent too much or not enough?
What kind of a dress was/is it? Ballgown, A-Line, princess gown train/no train, short/long?
What color was it? White, ivory, champagne, cream, red .... ?
Did you wear a veil, headpiece or tiara?

I just like to collect some opinions and ideas.
Oh and it would be great if you had a picture of the gown you were wearing at your wedding or will be wearing.

Thank you for your help!

Answer
Paula, wear what you want and what you look best in. You don't need to spend a fortune on a wedding dress, I just got married over thanksgiving and got my dress at a local shop...(best for alterations), and it cost 169.00...and it was beautiful. Champagne is really in now and a great subdued color, had a flower wreath on head, much classier than tiaras, tiraras to me are princess want to bes, skip that one.
My wedding budget was not huge, but it looked pretty good. I would spend my money on a good photographer, and nice flowers, we just had 3 lillies, w/ribbon, they smell great and last for a long time...
I think the more simple the dress, the better unless you are 5'10' and weigh 70 pounds...too much dress is tacky to me. I would send a picture but I can't figuire out how to do it!!! lol...slightly computer challenged...
Keep it simple, you can do a high end wedding w/o putting out a ton of money....it was my second wedding, the first one was over the top, cost my parents a fortune and I hated it...the smaller wedding worked for me, was classier, and most importantly, w/o all the hype, I concentrated on what I was doing, getting married to the man of my dreams...just my opinion, good luck.

Any opinions on David's Bridal for alterations?

MG

I was hoping somebody could tell me if they have had any experience with David's Bridal doing alterations on their wedding dress. The closest store to me is on Steven's Creek in San Jose, CA.

I have heard that David's alterations department is not very good. I have tried calling some of the other bridal stores in the area but they are not prepared to do alterations on my dress if I did not buy it there.

If anybody can refer me to someone in the bay area that would be great too!
Thank you so much!

Answer
I have heard that David's Bridal is generally a bit slower than they should be (I dont send my brides there, I have a seamstress I work with regularly that is cheaper and better quality than what I have seen, unfortunately I am not in your area). I also know that MANY of the David's Bridal stores leave alot to be desired in the Customer Service dept.

I would suggest finding a private seamstress to do your alterations. Look in your local yellow pages for a seamstress and be sure when you speak with them that you ask how much experience they have with wedding gowns, as wedding gowns are made from materials that are generally harder to work with.

Sexy beach casual wedding dress?

I'm looking for a vneck or halter wedding dress to wear for my beach wedding. Please give me some suggestions.
I'm looking for a dress that has a sweep train. I wear a size 4- 6 in dresses.

Answer
If money is tight, I suggest you look at the wedding gowns in secondhand thrift stores. My sister got a $4,000 dress for $60.00. The money she saved on that one purchase paid for her veil, her shoes, her stockings, her alterations, and the dress drycleaning.

If it's a beach wedding, why don't you just go with a white bathing suit and lace wrap-around skirt over it? That way when the ceremony is over, you could peel off the skirt and "take the plunge" LITERALLY !!! ;-)

Answer
I was in the same situation, tight budget, but i had high expectations. Take a look at what I did everything by hand, for a 60 person wedding in my backyard. Hence you must love planning, have patience and enjoy the whole process but you can pull it off it you have help from family and friends.
http://bubbles23.thoughts.com/posts/my-mid-summers-night-dream-wedding-2012

First of all pick a budget and stick with it. Small budget does not mean cheap. My budget was about $5300, that included the dress, invitations, all food and alchohal, and believe me we had way too much of everything I go overboard because i worked in hospitality, i had fireworks a harp player, tents and everything was perfect including the weather..thanks Universe ;}

My dress was custom made from a design brand Allure 8800 I fell in love with, I went to DHgate.com and had a factory custom make it for me, it fit like a glove, was high quality, and didn't need altering, just put it on, custom made plus delivery and customs $180 bucks.

Alchohal, for a great selection you can buy everything from the case, imports ect. they deliver all across usa for a reasonable price like i had 6 cases of champagne, about 10 cases of different wines, some different single wine selctions, vodka ect all alchohal cost me about 800 bucks. www.Astorwines.com

I went to http://www.smartyhadaparty.com/Category---Dishes---Buffet-c328.aspx, and to online wholesale wedding stores to order supplies, plastic wine glasses ect. you dont need heavy duty glass outside, only for the table sit down dinner.

I found cheap entertainment locally, a harp player for 100 bucks for the hour. we had ceremony and wedding at my house. I got flowers locally and made all my own boquet which meant more. My theme was mid night summers dream, since outside i did classy whimsical, as much bling as I could glue to stuff, yet tastefully done, I got 4 outdoor speakers that hooked up to computer or ipod and were plenty loud enough.

As for food I did a buffet, had everything pretty much prepared day of, and hired some help for when we were in wedding ect. I had over 30 types of gourment appitizers I prepared the day of, from sushi trays, to cheese trays, mini sliders, shimp cocktail, civiche, procuttio wrapped melon with truffle, ect.

Needless to say it was a very gourment intimate wedding, everyone had a blast, and all I spent was 5300 bucks total for everything. A day later I was worried if everyone had fun, liked it ect. 6 months later, everyone has forgotten about it, except for me and my husband and we still got money in the bank for an exotic vow renewal in a few years.

good luck, dont spend tons of money if you dont have to, but i do suggest getting white tents, we had 3 and it spruced the farm up a bit. and it was super hot so it was good for sun and rain.

wedding dress colour?

fiona

was in compulsory for brides in the BritishEmpire to wwear black wedding dress during Victorian era?

Answer
I think it was white, not black.

What were wedding dresses like in the early 1900s?

xAussie Pr

For example:
-What kinds of fabrics were used?
-Was any colour other than white popular?
-Long sleeves VS short - what was more common?

If you've got any pictures or ideas of what accessories might have been used as well, that'd be really great :)

Answer
http://library.ttu.edu/about/facility/face/entries/Campbell_Victorian.pdf should be a good starter for you.
You can also search museum collections for examples, for instance: http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/costume/browse.cfm?order=maker http://www.metmuseum.org/works_of_art/collection_database/the_costume_institute/listview.aspx?page=1&sort=6&sortdir=asc&keyword=wedding&fp=1&dd1=8&dd2=0&vw=1

And remember that stuff that winds up in museums probably doesn't reflect what ordinary people wore. Most women from farm families, for instance, probably just wore their best dress. (Weddings were often not grand affairs, either -- just bride and groom and witnesses in the parsonage parlor, and maybe a cup of tea afterwards provided by the minister's wife.) Also remember that some religious traditions really frowned on ostentation and special outfits for such occasions, so a Quaker wedding dress probably just was a good day dress.

Wedding colors?

Q. My boyfriend and I are planning on having a Spring wedding, and I really do not know what to have for the colors for the wedding. I know that I want something elegant and beautiful but I really dont know what to use for colors. My boyfriends favorite color is black and even though I dont want that to be a color in the wedding I want to tie it in, in little ways if I can with the other colors I choose. I need suggestions on color schemes. Thank you.

Answer
With it being a spring wedding, the bridesmaids could have tea length dresses in possibly white or cream with a black sash around the waist. A light pink would also be nice with some black piping around the bodice and bottom edge of the dress.
