Long Sleeved Wedding Dresses

Wedding Dresses and Their Traditions

There are many different traditions associated with wedding dresses but some of the most common and oldest ones are those to do with the actual colour of the wedding dresses.

You may not be aware but special wedding dresses were not actually worn until Victorian times. Up until this point, the wedding dresses were simply the best outfit that the bride owned.

It was Queen Victoria who launched the tradition of white wedding dresses. She decided that she preferred white to the traditional silver wedding dresses that previous royals had worn.

Of course white wedding dresses symbolise purity and virginity but many modern brides prefer to wear other colored wedding dresses.

There is an old rhyme that provides guidance to brides-to-be and is meant to help them decide on the most appropriate colors for wedding dresses:

Married in White, you have chosen right,
Married in Grey, you will go far away,
Married in Black, you will wish yourself back,
Married in Red, you will wish yourself dead,
Married in Green, ashamed to be seen,
Married in Blue, you will always be true,
Married in Pearl, you will live in a whirl,
Married in Yellow, ashamed of your fellow,
Married in Brown, you will live in the town,
Married in Pink, you spirit will sink.

The origins of this guide for wedding dresses are unclear but one of the funniest is associated with avoiding green wedding dresses.

Green is meant to be an unlucky colour and should be avoided when it comes to wedding dresses however it has deeper implications. Green wedding dresses are linked to grass stains and imply that the wearer has loose morals!

Long Sleeve Wedding Dress help?
I'm soo excited! I just got engaged and my fianc� is amazing :) :) so i guess i should start looking for a dress... I need some help please! Below is my body type as well as my ideal dress type. I am slim and about 5'5". I think I'm around a dress size 5 or 6 and um I would not like to show boobage, but I'm 22 so no grandma dresses please. So basically... I don't like to show skin but i LOVE girly and classy gowns. Does anyone have any links where I can purchase this type of dress: A white (hopefully poofy bell skirt type) dress but with long sleeves and very conservative neckline. The dress form is conservative but I would love it if the dress could have lots of beading/white flowers/lace to make it ornate. So basically I want something beautiful and ornate (but not obnoxious) but without showing any skin except for basically my hands and face. I also don't want to spend more than $400 if possible. I'm hoping for something around $200 or less. Any ideas? Thanks so much omg..the ones that SoCal girl found are awesome! Thanks! I definitely want something unique like that. I feel like I keep seeing the same strapless dress style at my freind's weddings and I want a different style without killing my budget. ---------- yeahh sandra knows what im talking about! the last one she found IS really nice and you could totally wear it with like a ring of white flowers on your head and a floaty veil. that'd be sweet...i am definitely getting some ideas. thanks for all of the comments p.s. it's hilarious that some people are posting quinca�era dresses but you know that just might work. some are cool looking and the prices are a lot less than wedding gowns. i don't really see a difference... -------- p.s.s..... yeah actually Cory (and SoCal girl found the same one) the vogue pattern is pretty nice. I don't know anyone who sews though..would you take the pattern to a taylor? I also like some of the ones on the julius site from SoCal..those are so different. there's one with roses that you could add sleeves to...
