With effervescent enthusi- asm, the new brides are boldly mixing tradition and innovation in dynamic proportion in what are rapidly becoming wedding “state- ments”. Glittering, yet steeped with romance and nostalgia, it’s all pos- sible for today’s woman who knows what she wants,and perhaps even more importantly, knows how to get it. Weddings are no longer planned, they are carefully orches- trated with a keen eye for the ele- gant detail, the crowning touch. And nowhere is this more apparent than in the choice of the newest bridal accessories. Before beginning to collect what will become treasured keepsakes in the years to come, it’s fun to see where these traditional items got their start. The Bridal Gown â€" Usually white for first-time brides, the wed- ding gown was regarded as a sym- bol of the bride’s purity. Since marriage was considered a union between two families, it was essen- tial that the bride be an “honor” to both her family and her future hus- band’s family. As purity was pri- mary, great care was taken to pre- sent the bride as a sheltered and unspoiled “treasure”. The white dress became the symbol of her innocence. The styling of the bridal gown as we know it can be attrib- uted to Empress Eugenie, the bride of Napoleon III. As a leader of fashion, she were what was to become a world-wide trendsetter as she wed the French leader, who ruled France from 1853 to 1871. Her flair for fashion is echoed every time a new bride walks down the aisle with the dignity befitting an empress. The Garter â€" The inclusion of this lacy accessory stems from the era when garters were used to hold up silk stockings. In old England, it was considered fair sport to try and steal the bride’s stockings and garters before the ceremony. In order to prevent this, bridal couples began to throw the garter willingly to all unattached young men pre- sent. Even today, the bridal garter is a trophy to be treasured. lowers are important because they tie everything together â€" the church, the reception, the members of the wedding party â€" with one unified look.

Brides are interested in gowns offering some sequin/bead detail on the bodice and full skirts with little or no train. Consultants are seeing many more first time brides choosing ivory gowns, says Brown, since white does not flatter every bride. Prices for bridal gowns range any- where from $400 to $2,000 and should be ordered approximately three to six months before the wed- ding.
