Which Wedding Dress Colour Suits You?

July 26th, 2011 Raymond No comments

Here’s an article from the Web. I’ve been spending too much time surfing. Check this out.

White wedding dresses have been the tradition since the 16th Century, and popularised by Queen Victoria, who chose white over silver for her wedding dress, which was the norm for Royal brides. Before that, brides simply wore their very best dress, in the colour of their choice. White is meant to symbolise purity, though there are almost endless variations of ‘off-white’ colours such as ivory, cream and buttermilk.

Wedding Dress Options for Unique Brides to Be

January 12th, 2011 Raymond No comments

Spotted on the Web. I found this interesting. Have a gander.

Rules are meant to be broken, or so they say. How about long-established traditions? Brides have been wearing white wedding dresses in overwhelming numbers since 1840. That was when Queen Victoria married Prince Albert in an elaborate white gown. Since that time, white wedding gowns have come symbolize purity, innocence and chastity, at least in the West.

I hope this article works for you. I keep looking for good stories. You can check the source to read it all.

Is a White Flower Girl Dress Too "Wishy-Washy"?

May 31st, 2010 Raymond No comments

Here’s one from the Web. I really spend too much time surfing. Have a gander.

Isn’t a white flower girl dress a bit too basic? Shouldn’t a flower girl get to wear something with a print or pattern instead of something so simple and plain? Interestingly enough most people are not aware that the flower girl dress is white by tradition since the Queen Victoria’s marriage to Prince Albert.

I hope you find it interesting. I keep looking for good stories. You can see the entire article if you’re interested.

Wedding exclusive (BusinessWorld Online)

March 14th, 2010 Raymond No comments

Discovered this in BusinessWorld Online. I find this stuff nteresting. Have a look.

The newest trend to hit the wedding market, apparently, are eco-friendly weddings — although the Filipino bride may still prefer to don the traditional white popularized by Queen Victoria and modernized by Coco Chanel, everything else is green.

Does it help? I found a bunch of articles about this. See the entire article if you’re interested.
