“Just around the corner in every woman's mind - is a lovely dress, a wonderful suit, or entire costume which will make an enchanting new creature of her.” - Wilhela Cushman. It is the dream of a girl to transform herself from the girl next door to a woman on the day of her wedding. Whether it is a love marriage or an arranged one the bride surely has to stand out as the queen of the day. After all it is her big day and the wedding dress should reflect her personality, mood, and also the surroundings, especially if it’s a destination wedding. Destination weddings have about them an aura of romance and adventure, a desire to break free of the traditions and follow your heart.

| Destination weddings usually do not take place in a church and are therefore, quite informal in nature. Instead of traditional heavy attire, most brides prefer to wear light weight and easily manageable wedding gowns that mingle very smoothly with the décor of the wedding ceremony.

A wedding is an once-in-a-lifetime affair and therefore, it has to be a grand one to be remembered forever. The bride’s dress is the most important part of the wedding ceremony. It enhances the beauty of the bride and makes her feel special and wanted. In spite of all these the dress should in no way compete with the beauty of the surroundings, rather it should complement it. After all it is one of the purposes of a destination wedding that the guests should bask in the warmth of natural beauty besides admiring the beautiful bride.
The choice of the dress will vary according to the destination. Strapless gowns with low cut backs are a rage these days. Flowers can add magic to a bridal dress.

But if the décor is a flowery one then it is no use for the bride to carry a heavy flower bouquet. Even a cute little orchid tucked behind her ears could make her a show-stealer. A light wrap may be a necessity to gently cover the skin from the sea breezes when the ceremony is taking place at a beach. A short train would be a more practical idea instead of a traditional long train which can become unmanageable during a ceremony out of doors such as at a beach.
The wedding dress acts as a representative of the love shared by the couple. In the words of Douglas William Jerrold, “After all there is something about a wedding-gown prettier than in any other gown in the world.” In 1840, Queen Victoria wore a white wedding gown at her wedding with Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg, and set the trend for the women of that era to wear white at their wedding. White stands for a pure heart and innocence. Pastel shades and gold threaded dresses were very popular. The colors black and red were not considered appropriate to be used at weddings as black stood for mourning and red was more associated with tarts.
Stylish accessories that blend with the natural beauty and traditions of the locale add a touch of glamour to the bridal dress. Crystal brooches, ornamental bands, pearls can make the bride look simply gorgeous. These are some great ideas for a destination wedding dress.
