La Prima Bridalwear - Stylish Plus Size Wedding Gowns

This week we’re in love with this gown by La Prima Bridalwear. Having seen many brides try it on in store we can tell you that it looks absolutely fantastic, and our brides seem to think so too as it’s a popular choice at our London and Midlands outlets! This style is the 9001 from our special range of plus size wedding dresses, available in sizes 16-30 and priced at just £399.

From its delicate sheer straps to the detailing on the skirt this gown is a stunner from head to toe. A classic A-line wedding dress, the 9001 style has a classic, chic, flattering look while incorporating special details that make it really stand out. Our favourite aspect is how the flowing skirt extends into a short train, topped with embroidered tulle that makes each step into a sexy, feminine swish!

We predict that short, full trains like this are going to be right on trend for 2013 and 2014, offering a traditional look without being cumbersome. Perfect for a graceful walk down the aisle as well as a good old boogie on the dance floor!

Destination Wedding Dresses

If you’re getting married abroad, especially in a hot climate, you may have to think carefully about what kind of wedding dress you choose so you’re not overheated and uncomfortable on your wedding day! There are a few great options for destination wedding gowns, from short wedding dresses to specialist fabrics that keep you feeling fresh and cool - here are some ideas to help you find your perfect dress for your wedding abroad:

• Avoid heavy ballgowns and full skirts. Traditional wedding gowns with full, layered skirts will be both heavy and thick, comprised of several layers of fabric that will make you feel hot and exhausted in a warm climate. If you’re desperate for a full skirted gown, choose an A-line wedding dress that can be accessorised with a thin underskirt to give you the volume you want without the heaviness.
• Choose a tea length wedding dress. Short wedding dresses are perfect for summer weddings and destination weddings and look cute and youthful. There are some great vintage-style tea length wedding gowns available from the Viva Bride collection and other designers in store at the Wedding Dress Factory Outlet. So choose some stunning shoes, show off your legs and enjoy the freedom and lightness of a shorter wedding gown!
• Opt for light and floaty fabrics. Grecian wedding gowns are often made from thin, flowing fabric and will give you a sophisticated look without feeling too hot. Conversely, tight-fitting and figure-hugging sheath gowns will have the opposite effect in warm weather! Viva Bride offer a specially designed range of destination wedding gowns in delicate chiffon to keep you cool on your special day.
• Think about accessories to stay cool. Pretty lace parasols can keep the sun off while adding a chic vintage look to your outfit, or why not go for a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses like Audrey Hepburn? It’s a good idea to choose lingerie and underwear that is made from natural fabrics to reduce discomfort and sweating in hot weather!
