If you think that bargain wedding dresses bought online can't be flattering and that they all suffer from being shapeless and ugly then you're really far off the mark!

Regardless of which type you may be looking for, the upper half of wedding dresses that work best in the warmer months are almost always very lightweight in structure. Long sleeves are exchanged for halter style tops, narrow straps, or cap sleeves.For 2011, we're seeing lots of elegant beading in the dress bodice. Beading catches and refracts light which can cast off a very soft glow in the right setting.

The intricate and detailed bodice work in today's summer cheap evening dresses collections can make you feel like a princess. The look is very rich and flattering but doesn't have to cost a fortune, either.While the top portion of a summer wedding dress may be more lightweight and made of less material, it's really the fullness and length of the skirt that is chosen to match the formalness of the location.

It led to phrases such as 'married in green, ashamed to be seen!' White custom made wedding dresses were made popular by Queen victoria, who broke the tradition of royalty always marrying in silver.Although green was definitely a colour to avoid, and silver was the hallmark of royalty, there were many other colour associations with wedding attire
