On Your Wedding Day, It's All About the Dress…
From the day we are born, and from the time that we begin to dream, we girls have fairy tale visions of when we will we wed our very own prince charming. We draw pictures and we sort out the details so much so that the vision of this special day is etched in our brain and we wonder throughout our life just how it will transpire? Just like Cinderella, we're on a time clock too. We only have so much time to plan our fairy tale wedding.
So much goes into planning for a wedding…what to choose, where to wed, who to invite, or not to invite, who to ask to be in the wedding party, what colors to choose, themes, what flowers to order, what kind of cake, will it be a sit down dinner or a buffet style reception, open bar or no bar? Where will the honeymoon be? What will I pack? How much money will we need? All of these are quite important, but not as important as it is to find the perfect wedding dress.
In my personal opinion, your bridal gown is the most important part of the wedding. How will it fit? How will it flow? Will it be long or knee length? Will it be slim fitting or layered? Will it have beads and sequins? Will there be ruffles and bows? How long should the the train be? Will I wear a veil? No one knows…but you will.
The problem with so many weddings is that not only can they get out of hand but many women are on such tight budgets and as we all very well know…with budgets come sacrifices. Believe me, I know about this all too well. At age 19, I planned my own wedding in six weeks. My problem was that my parents accommodated me so much as to how I wanted my special day that it almost seemed too perfect. I was so busy worrying about churches, and banquet halls, bridesmaids and groomsmen, flowers, the cake, the DJ and all I forgot about the most important thing, the gown. Meanwhile, my parents came to me and said the one thing that no bride ever wants to hear…"Honey, you'll have to borrow someone else's wedding dress to wear, our budget is tapped out!" I was that bride that would never know what it would be like to save my dress and pull it out of a box 30 years later for my daughter to wear, or to just go into my attic or closet and relic over it.
Let's speed ahead 30+ years. Today things are really out of hand with weddings. Myself, I don't believe in choosing a specific designer nor can every woman afford it. I personally believe in choosing a wedding dress based on the 'wow' factor and not the designer. My guess is that 95% of your guests will not know if the bridal gown you walk down the aisle in is designer or not. It should be everything that you've imagined yet at a price that is reasonable.
With the average cost of a wedding in 2014 being just a little shy of $29K the average price spent on a wedding dress was $1211. Manhattan brides spent on average and at the lower end $2877 and women in Idaho averaged $878. Meanwhile, the average cost of a high school prom has risen to an average of $1139, that is 40% higher than just in 2011. Apples for apples what does this mean exactly? It means that young women are spending more on a dress and the prom than some women spend on bridal gowns. Here's my 2 cents…Your wedding day is far more important in my opinion than a night at the prom with some guy that you'll probably forget by your freshman year of college.
Recently I entered into a new business venture, and for all of you new brides to be, your dreams of your perfect day are also our dreams. Forget about the super high price tags! Coming Soon…Simply Delicious Lingerie & Bridal will carry a variety of bridal gowns.

Do You Know What Type of Bridal Gown is Best for your Shape?
When it comes to your wedding day, you want to look exquisite. With this being said, you should know that there are a variety of bridal gowns that accentuate your body just right. Not all of us have the same shape, some of us are short, some are tall, some weigh more, some weight less. With all eyes on you on your special day, you certainly do not want to be wearing a dress that draws attention to an area of your torso that you are trying to hide or that might make you feel a bit uncomfortable. Many brides do not understand who should wear what type of gown, and why each wedding dress is cut 'just so' with each individual bride in mind.
At Simply Delicious Lingerie and Bridal we take pride in catering to each of our customers. When it comes to your bridal needs, you can count on us to assist you in determining what is the most appropriate and which gown will flow on your figure the best.
There are a number of gowns to choose from and one might ask 'where in the world do I begin finding the perfect wedding dress for me?' Lets start with your build, frame type and weight. Each woman has her own idea of how she wants her perfect day to be, and each bride-to-be wants to look breathtaking on her wedding day because after all, it's all about the dress!
First we have the A-Line dress; I love this style! This gown is personally one of my favorites. It has a much fitted bodice throughout your waistline that flairs out a bit and flows to the ground. In retrospect, it has been said to resemble an uppercase letter "A." This type of dress is great and works on all body types.
The Ballroom Gown; I call this the Cinderella gown, others may call it the ball gown or a princess style dress. Why? It resembles that of a beautiful gown worn in a fairy tale. This dress flairs out at the waistline and has a full skirt. Although this is good for most body types the pear shape gal will find that it is the most appealing to the eye on her figure. I would not recommend it for a shorter woman who may be petite as this style may just be a tad bit overwhelming on her tiny frame.
The Mermaid Wedding Dress; This gown is for a slender type figure. It is sized and fitted on each individual body from a woman's chest to her knees. I highly recommend this for the woman with the hourglass figure who desires to show off her girlie figure! This is not recommended for women with the apple figure or plus size figure.
The Mini Wedding Dress; This is a beautiful dress and falls just about the knee. It's not recommended for plus size women. If you are planning on doing a whole lot of bending over at your wedding I would advise you not to choose this gown or your family and friends will be viewing England, France and a whole lot more!
The Trumpet Bridal Gown; This is an exquisite cut in my personal opinion. It falls somewhere between the A-line cut dress and the mermaid gown. If you have a small waist, this may be the perfect bridal gown for you. The petite gal with an hourglass torso would be a great fit for this gown. I wouldn't recommend it for you pears and apples as it clings to the stomach and hips.
The Sheath Gown; Appealing is this beautiful gown as it flows straight down from the neckline to your toes. It is designed more so for the woman who carries a narrow and thin frame. If you are carrying around extra inches then this isn't the route to take for your wedding dress as it will truly accentuate the areas that you don't want seen.
The Tea-Length Bridal Gown; This is a great dress for women of all sizes. The skirt falls between the ankles and the knees. It is classy, elegant and stunning.
With this blog article comes the news that we at Simply Delicious Lingerie are expanding into the bridal gown industry. We are in the process of rebuilding our website to showcase not only our beautiful lingerie rather bridal lingerie, bridal gowns, and a bridal trousseau as well. Check back with us soon to view our exciting new store where wedding dresses are priced from $98 and up.
