A Christmas Sparkle

To all you lovely brides who are starting the preparations for your wedding next year, what better than to start looking now just as Christmas is around the corner. It will definitely give some festive inspiration for all those white weddings.

It is always important to keep in mind that once the bridal gown has been chosen the process of making the dress and the delivery can be between 3-4 months, and to include alterations you are looking up to 6 months. However, these are minimum guidelines to follow and having worked in bridal boutiques myself it is always advised to start looking 12 months before hand. Different wedding dress designers can vary in delivery depending on the high demand of orders and it is always best to have time to spare in case there are any delays to ensure a relaxed wedding journey. You are choosing one of the most important items for your wedding day, so it is never too early to start!

If you are having a winter wedding this Justin Alexander (8799) bridal dress is perfect! With the delicate details of the beaded embroidery adding the extra sparkle for the festive feel, it provides that eye catching look that every bride wants.

The style of the wedding dress is ball gown and holds a similar shape to the A-Line where it is fitted around the waistline area and is separated by the feature point of the sparkle belt, this divide complements your figure beautifully. Whether you are petite, tall or the larger lady this style suits all. This type of gown can also have layers or a hoop added if you want to create more volume for a dramatic look.

If you are currently unsure about which shape to choose we have more detailed information on our website which you can find here!

The neckline is 'portrait' which is similar to a 'sweet heart' neckline shape but it is wide and provides a soft scoop from one side to the other across the chest, and it is made up with more fabric creating a ruche effect. This style is off the shoulder and features an illusion neckline which is a semi-transparent panel to provide a modest look whilst looking elegant for the modern day bride.

The fabric is made from chiffon giving it that light soft fairy tale feel and it flows beautifully for that winter wonderland wedding.

If you are getting married in the winter season boleros can always be added to complete the look. These are short jackets usually made from either a sheer fabric, lace or fur. If you want a veil with this style of wedding gown the fingertip veils work perfectly ensuring the detail of the dress is not taken away.

If you are getting married in any other seasons, even if it is on a tropical beach this style of dress still works wonders with its lightness and sparkle. It can be incorporated with the wedding theme to tie in all in together for the bride and groom.

The gown is available in Ivory/Silver and White/Silver.
