Destination Wedding Dresses 2011

Opting to have your wedding away from where you actually stay can be a huge decision because a lot of planning can go into such a wedding, but if you have made the decision then you should get caught up in the romance and adventure of a destination wedding. Buying a wedding dress for a destination wedding is no different from buying a normal one. The destination wedding dresses 2011 trends will tell you that. But, there are certain tips to keep in mind while picking out a wedding dress for a wedding away from home.

Choosing Destination Wedding Dresses

If you are getting married away from your hometown, then there are already several things that you will have to pay attention to. Add to this the stress that can come from choosing the perfect wedding dress that reflects the beauty of the place that you are getting married at. There are many things to keep in mind while choosing the perfect destination wedding dress. We give you some tips that will make your job easy.

    * While picking out the wedding dress, you need to be sure about where you are getting married and be acquainted with the seasonal conditions of the place. You do not want to wear a wedding dress that you freeze in if you are getting married in a town in Alaska.
    * It is also important to pick out the wedding dress according to the time of the day when you are getting married. If it is a morning wedding, then pick out a dress with lace and ruffles. For an evening wedding, choose a gown that has embellishments and a slight, subtle shimmer.
    * Another thing that will help you pick out a wedding dress for yourself is the kind of landscape of the place that you are getting married at. Depending on whether you are getting married on a beach, a manicured garden, a castle, or a sand dune, you will need to pick a dress accordingly which fulfills all the basic functionality needed from it. Wearing a dress with a long trail may be completely out of place on a beach where it will trail on the ground and end up getting dirty.
    * You also need to pick out a fabric that is comfortable in the climate of the place that you are getting married in. If the wedding destination is a tropical zone, then opt for a natural fabric that will allow you to breathe in. Of course, if you are getting married in a destination that has extreme temperatures, then you need to get married in a fabric that keeps you warm.

Once you have chosen your wedding gown, remember that you need to travel with the same to your destination, unless of course the boutique you have bought the gown from can ship it for you. If that is not possible, then you may have to buy a seat for the dress on the flight that you are taking so that it does not get crumpled in the overhead compartment. You will need to ensure that you can find a professional cleaner where you are getting married. If you need to steam your dress on your own, then all you need to do is to close the bathroom door and allow the hot water to run to steam up the bathroom. You can hang the dress in the bathroom to steam it. This will ensure that the dress does not retain the rumpled look that it may have from the traveling.

Trends for Destination Wedding Dresses in 2011

If you check the latest trends for wedding dress patterns, you will notice that there are many designs that you can actually opt for. Once you have kept the factors mentioned above in mind, there aren't many restrictions on you to buy a specific type of dress. Some of the most popular trends for destination wedding dresses 2011 are mentioned below.

Layered Gowns
This is a huge trend amongst brides nowadays. The fairy tale wedding has taken center stage again and more and more brides are opting for a princess style wedding dress. Opt for graceful layers that fall gently to create a cascading vision. Allow the skirt to be made of a material that falls well and has a soft, ethereal look about it.

Strapless Gowns
It was Victoria Beckham who can be credited with making this type of gown such a hit for weddings. It remains a popular choice this year as well and if you are opting for a tropical wedding, this may be the dress to try. For a beach wedding, especially in the day, this could be the perfect way to show off your sun kissed shoulders and let the warm breeze caress your shoulders.

Gowns with Embellished Backs
Taking a cue from Pippa Middleton's bridesmaid dress, focus on the cut of the back of your dress. Allow simplicity and subtlety talk for the dress otherwise but go in for a deep cut in the back. Alternatively, you can also opt for a halter neck dress or a dress which has a lace cover on the top of the dress.

These are just some of the more popular designs for wedding dresses in 2011. As long as you keep the theme of the wedding in mind and understand what is needed from the dress for a particular location, you can experiment as you want for your wedding dress.
