Asymmetric neckline dress by Heirloom Couture: Yay or Nay?

dress of the day 011009.jpg

Asymmetric styles are one of those fashions, which come and go over the years.However, its quite rare to see this design on a wedding dress as many designers opting for a strapless or sweetheart style.

This frock by Heirloom Couture is gorgeous with a satin bodice and fairytale tulle skirt but I'm not sure about the asymmetric design so I want to hear from you. Do you think this style works and would you wear a dress with this design? Vote and leave your comments below.

Gothic wedding dress. Yay or Nay?

gothuweddinghome.jpgWhile on my search for dresses with subtle tones of colour I stumbled across this. It's, as you can see a black gothic style dress.

Now I quite like this dress, it's different and would be fun for a posh do, but maybe not for a wedding dress, so I want to hear your opinion.

Is this a Nice dress with a difference or a Frock Horror.

Vote below and let me know.

YAY OR NAY: Short wedding dresses

short-wedding-dresses.jpgShorter skirts are being hailed as the big bridal trend of 2009, with many of the big designers from Alfred Angelo to Vera Wang bringing out beautiful dresses to tempt daring brides who don't mind showing a bit of leg. But what do you think: do frocks like Suzanne Neville's 'Antoinette' turn your head from traditional length gowns or will it have to be a a full-length floor-sweeper for you?

Vote below, and tell us why in comments (would you go for the look if only you had the legs?)

Something blue: would you get married in this dress?

maggie-sottero-estella.jpg'Estella' is a stunning Maggie Sottero gown with everything you'd want in a girly and traditional dress. There's only one fundamental difference between this one and most of the designs you'll see in that category: it's blue!

This isn't the first time that Maggie Sottero has messed around with colour, as her lavish crimson 'Fiorenza' gown is one of the most popular red wedding dresses out there at the moment. But blue is even more of a statement, and it's not a shade I've ever seen on a bride. I think I rather like ti though: the shade she's gone for is a wonderfully delicate forget-me-not tone that could really bring out your beauty. Would you get married in this dress?

YAY OR NAY: white weddings in the red

deep-debt.jpgIn the past year, the number of people borrowing to pay for their wedding has risen by a mammoth 43 per cent, giving the phrase 'something borrowed' a whole new meaning. It's a figure that is even more surprising when you consider that this is the same year in which we've all been made painfully aware of the dangers of taking financial risks.

Around 13,600 people borrowed a total of £113 million to pay for frocks, booze and venues, but will you be doing the same when it comes to your big day? Remember, you can do the entire deed no-frills style for just over £100...

YAY OR NAY: Gingham wedding dress

candy-anthony-ginham.jpgI actually think this idea sounds a lot worse in principle than it actually is: this dress is pretty as a picture, right? But even so...it's gingham. Do you really want to be channeling raggedy-Ann on your wedding day? I don't know! I don't have an imminent wedding to help me answer that question, which is why I'm putting it to you, dear reader. What do you think? If you come out as a yay-sayer, the dress is by retro wedding specialist Candy Anthony.

YAY OR NAY: bridal tiaras

tiaras.jpgTiaras seem to be one aspect of bridal fashion that really do divide people, with some brides seeing them as an essential accessory while others baulk at the idea of the sparkly bits of headwear, opting instead for a full or mini veil, fascinator - or nothing.

Personally, I don't like tiaras, as I gave up on the idea of being a princess when I was five (miaow!). But I've known grown women who seem to be otherwise mature and sophisticated adults go crazy for a well-made tiara and pay good money for it. Where do you sit on this one?

Take part in more Yay or Nays!
