The Great Outdoors
Napa Valley
Tying the knot in an outdoor setting? With Mother Nature providing the artistic backdrop, choose a wedding gown that complements your setting. Try these great looks for your themed celebrations.

The slim silhouette of this strapless gown has a relaxed
yet sophisticated vibe, while the delicate floral appliques
are a subtle nod to the great outdoors. And the
floor-length hemline is just formal enough for a winery
wedding (a long train would be cumbersome in the
vineyard).

Clutch, $174, Moyna;
Earrings, $36, Sogno;
Bracelet, $99, Rosena Sammi;
Hair Comb, $195, Boutique de Voile
Parisian Nights
Afternoon stroll, the famous painting by Georges
Seurat, and this ensemble would look equally
fetching at your own outdoor Parisian setting. The
allover metallic embroidery and bejeweled sash give
this Old World silhouette modern flair.

Earrings, $240, Isharya;
Ring, $9,500, Anna Sheffield Bridal
Nautical Party
This simple sheath is perfect for a wedding on the
open sea—the silk satin is lightweight and easy to
move in. A simple chignon hairstyle lets the gorgeous
too, in case the wind picks up.
Style B224, $1,750, Ugo Zaldi; Earrings, $5,065,
DeVille Fine Jewelry;
Ring, $9,500, Anna Sheffield Bridal
Beach Ceremony
For a wedding on the beach, skip the heavy
silhouette. This barely-there crepe satin dress will
keep you cool despite the heat; finish off the look
with a simple topknot and strand of pearls.
Mansfield dress, $3,300, Kevan Hall White Label;
Necklace, $440, Miriam Haskell
Day in the Hamptons
Great Gatsby-inspired knee-length number. The Art
Deco-style beading adds pizzazz to the simple
shift-dress silhouette, making it an ideal second-dress
choice for a garden-party reception.
ChaCha dress, Réva Mivasagar; Earrings, $45,
Carolee;
Ring, Tiffany;
Clutch, $260, Felix Rey
Country Club
For an outdoor wedding at a more traditional
venue, try a gown that's glamorous yet refined. The
ballgown evokes Old Hollywood imagery, while the
bow at the waistline adds a touch of sweetness.
Claire dress, $5,200, Anna Maier/Ulla-Maija
Couture;
Veil, $465, Tia Mazza;
Earrings, $45, Carolee LUX

wedding dress. How you look and feel in your
wedding dress sets the stage for the whole
experience. You want to feel your wedding dress.
Get plenty of rest the night before. Beauty sleep
can not be under estimated. Give your nails an
extra special spa manicure. Pretty hands and
manicured fingernails are part of your whole
ensemble. Use a mildly-abrasive sponge with body
wash to exfoliate your skin while showering. This will
really give your skin an extra glow. Don't stress!
Make beauty appointments extra early so you have
plenty of time to relax. Being calm, happy and
having fun actually makes you more attractive.
Your Wedding Day
Quest for the Wedding Dress
what to do with all the choices and styles.
Here are a few tips on how to narrow down
the wedding dress selection.
Dress for your body shape. For example, if
your body type is a pear shape, the widest
part of your body is below the waist/around
the hips. When selecting your bridal gown,
you want to de-emphasize the area around
your hips, and bring more emphasis to the
top portion of your body. This will help
balance your overall shape. When trying
dresses on, bring a friend or family member
to help you determine what looks best - but!
not too many. Sometimes too many
conflicting opinions will just confuse you
more.
evoke the glamour of
1920s Hollywood...
Romantic Gowns
Break in your shoes a few weeks before. You'll be so much more comfortable
throughout your wedding day.
When putting on your bridal gown, have someone help you. just to be sure you don't
ruin your hair, make-up, or delicate areas of the dress.
Finally, after you're all made up and ready to go, wear that dress like you're a
celebrity. Have an awesome wedding day.
Pick dress textures or fabrics that work for you. Be in the mood to try them
on. Sometimes, if you're cranky or tired you might not be able to accurately
judge what you like or dislike in a wedding dress. Pick a day to shop when
you are feeling good and energetic - since that is more likely to be your
mood on your wedding night anyway. Don't exclude comfort. At least not
completely. Sometimes girls are willing to sacrifice all comfort of the dress, if
it makes them look better. While "looking" good in your wedding dress is
important and the main goal, it's also important to "feel" good in your
wedding dress too. Remember it's sometimes hot outside, so being
comfortable might prevent unnecessary perspiration or irritation. Being
comfortable in your dress will actually help keep you looking your best.
