Floating on Air

By Joan Mills

Bridal Designs

Soft flowing gowns are the choice of summer brides as they walk through beautiful gardens or stand by the seashore. Sheer fabrics in tulle, silk chiffon, and other delicate fabrics float in the breeze as the brides walk down the aisles. Entire gowns are made of very light and airy fabrics. To draw attention to the waistline, many gowns are designed with a sash to match the color of the bridesmaids dresses or laced up the back. Most are strapless, but the one-shoulder look is a fashion favorite.


BRIGHT LOOKS FOR BRIDESMAIDS

Some brides may prefer to have all her attendants in the same dress, however designers are offering a choice of designs that are in the same color but with different necklines that will be most flattering to their figure. The colors and fabrics are very fashion forward with sheers of chiffon in berry colors of purple, raspberry, plus tangerine and apple for the short and long bridesmaid dresses.
