Gowns, gowns, gowns!There is a crazy undertone to the world of bridal fashion. For example, I really like this lace and silk dupioni gown from Justin Alexander Couture even though it looks like a blancmange: And what is up with the weird hats and veils? I can’t say I like this Platinum for Priscilla of Boston number–the silk and organza diamond leaf skirt looks like the bottom half of a parade float–but check out that hat. Yow! This model, resplendent in a beaded, embroidered princess silk satin trumpet gown from Lazaro, is doing her part to ease the pre-wedding jitters of brides all over the world by...

Now how to get your gown back into mint condition and have it stay that way? Gown preservation is the way to go. Don’t let months pass by because before you know it stains will be harder to get out, invisible stains will appear due to sugar and salt spills, yellow...

gown friday!if you have noticed much at all here at weddings fresh, i am drawn to modern classics and fashion that transcends the minute to minute whims of the runway and creates an elegant timelessness (hopefully to keep from those moments of looking back at your wedding album and wincing every time you see yourself in your gown). well, i believe that angel sanchez is an example of such a designer. his gowns are so...well, i guess dreamy! the details and embellishments in each piece, along with hints of vintage inspiration, keeps each gown from ever being plain or boring. and as if i need to continue: i ...

THE CUSTOM GOWNChances are if you're looking for a wedding gown you're browsing online. Maybe you've narrowed down your search--decided you like the evening gown look but not absolutely, positively, 100 per cent sure an A-line is out of the question. Next you get up from the computer and go out shopping. You hit every salon within a twenty-mile radius, go through racks of gowns in fabrics you never knew existed. You try on a few in every shade and texture of white imaginable. And while you feel you've had a crash course in bridal, still, nothing out there's really grabbed you. Then . . . a week or two later ...
