The Elements of a Wedding Gown

When I was a little girl my grandma would let me help her make cookies.  We would add the butter, eggs and sugar.  This had to be well mixed before we move to the flour, baking powder and finally the vanilla could be put in the bowl.  If we were making oatmeal cookies we added oatmeal, sometimes raisins or chocolate chips.  If we made sugar cookies I got to sprinkle on the colored crystals or decorate with icing from a bag she had cut the corner off as I would pipe lips, eyes and noses on.  We had little candies in many colors and shapes to add not only flavor but visual interest.

The elements of a wedding gown are much like cookies.  The fabric can be satin, taffeta, organza and chiffon.  There might be lace, embroidery or bead work.  Three dimensional flowers and fabric detail may be added.  When you are standing, looking at yourself in the mirror, in the gown of your dreams you will have the perfect combination of fabric, cut, detail and bling.  These are known as the design elements of a wedding gown.

Rouching is an interesting element that we see so much of but never grow tired of because it’s style is as varied as one’s imagination.  Folds of fabric are laid atop the base dress.  Nimble fingers of the designer fold and pin and then stitch with quiet perfection.  The direction of the folds carries the eye of the beholder across the body creating a visual masterpiece.

Embroidery is stitched, usually drawn on the fabric and then carried out by a sewing machine guided by a meticulous operator at a hummingbird style rate that is difficult for the human eye to see.  The operator’s fingers stay close to move the fabric in just the right position at the correct time.  It is fascinating to watch.

Hand cut lace applique is artistically placed in a pre-determined pattern to draw the eye and create elegant patterns atop satin or taffeta.  There are many different styles of lace that will be covered in an upcoming article.

Most of my customers are so surprised when I ask them “Do you know how they get this magnificent bead work on your dress?”  They wonder if there is a bead fairy or a wonderful machine that puts them there.  “I say, they put them on the dress by hand, one at a time with a needle and thread.”  I have been around the making of wedding dresses since I was a little girl but when I first started buying ready-made gowns more than 30 years ago the beads were glued onto the fabric and lace.  This made great problems when it came time to launder the gown because the beads would often come off sometimes leaving dots of glue in the wrong places on the fabric.  The best beadwork is a combination of Swarovski crystals, beads, pearls and sequins.  Glass beads will be more sparkly and will hold their sparkle through time.  Nowadays, many companies are resorting to plastic beadwork because it is cheaper and glass beads must be handled more carefully.

The placement of the embellishments is also an element of your wedding gown.  Select the cut, then the fabric, lace, beadwork, embroidery and all other elements of your gown.

The color and size can be the last choice you make when you shop with ample time that your gown may be ordered.  It can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months for your gown to be made for you.  The more time you allow yourself, the more choices you will have.  Your wedding gown is the most important dress you will ever wear.  Take time to do it right and find a bridal salon where you feel that your long term happiness is most likely to be achieved.  At The Gallery by Lynette we want you happy in the store, out the door and door the aisle and that means we are here for you no matter what.

Shop for your Gown First!

If you need a pair of shoes you can fully expect to shop in a store and buy what you want, when you want, in the size and color you want.  If you are hungry you can go to any restaurant or fast food place and get lunch now.  But when you are shopping for your wedding gown, the most important and memorable item of clothing you will ever wear, you must plan ahead a little more.

The other day we sold a dress to a bride to be.  We had the dress in ivory but she wanted it in white.  No problem, we can order it.  When we called our supplier we were told that the gown would not ship to us until the second week of February 2012.  Yes, that is right, nearly 16 weeks from now.  Why that's crazy you might say.  Well, maybe it is but that is how it works.  Some of our collections are available in 6 to 10 weeks on a special order but occasionally, a popular style or one with extra special and intricate detail will require more time.

After all, this is a very important dress.  Doesn't it make sense that you would plan ahead?

At The Gallery by Lynette we have been serving bridal families for more than 30 years and have every service you would need to outfit your bridal party perfectly.  It begins with the dress and no matter when or where you are getting married the most important thing to consider is that you want to look and feel your most beautiful on your wedding day.  Because you don't wear a wedding dress often you might need some professional help finding the right one.  At The Gallery by Lynette our consultants are experienced in the basic silhouettes and which ones look best on your body type.  Once you know your best silhouette they can help you select the right details and fabrics from the hundreds of gowns we have in stock.  We don't have to use high pressure selling.  That is for when a store can't give you exactly what you want.  We know what is available and our design department can change details and make your gown fit you like a glove.  We are very different from other bridal shops.


Shop for your gown as soon as you know you are getting married even if you don't have a ring or a date.  The longer you allow before your wedding, the more choices you will have and the better the outcome especially if something has to be tweaked.  Don't worry if you plan to lose weight.  We can allow for that and you couldn't lose so much weight that we can't alter your gown perfectly.


Don't listen to some of the so called " bridal store experts" who tell you it's too early to shop.  Don't listen to them when they tell you what you should like as you desperately try to get them to listen to what you want.  It's your dream and your day.  Come to The Gallery by Lynette and lose the stress.

When you purchase your gown at The Gallery by Lynette you may be eligible for our new Diamond Savings card that will save you more than $900  in free stuff and discounts on the things you will need anyway such as half priced bridal jewelry and $50 off your veil.  Give us a call today 801-773-7435   Click here for  hours.  More info at www.lynettes.com
