When you’re invited to a wedding ceremony, unless you are the bride, you are either part of the wedding entourage or just one of the special people chosen to witness such a memorable event. If you are part of the latter, then, you’d also definitely feel the pressure of finding the perfect dress to wear on that special day. Well, girls will be girls, right?

But will you go and rummage your closet for the perfect dress or would you spend money on getting a new frock? More ladies would opt for the latter. You’ll take your friend’s or your family member’s wedding as an excuse for scouting for evening dresses.

But out of the many designs of evening dresses available, both displayed in your favorite shop or on the Internet, how do you know which one to pick? Here are a few suggestions.

Get into the Motif

Guests and visitors who are not part of the entourage need not “take part” of the wedding motif. However, since you’re already there, why not be in line with the motif? It’s another excuse to buy a new dress, right?

Upon receiving the invitation, you’d immediately ask for the theme or the motif of the wedding. This will surely excite you, especially if you don’t have a gown that fits the theme, because you are setting yourself to another evening dresses quest. You can ask your girlfriends, or you boyfriend, to go with you in search for the perfect dress on a Venetian-red-wedding ceremony, for example.

Go for Comfort

Needless to say, you must also come to the party feeling comfortable about yourself and about what you are wearing. Therefore, this must be one of your criteria, if not the most important criterion, in looking for the best evening dresses.

For example, if you are not comfortable with going bra-less or using strapless bra, then don’t choose a strapless evening gown. Otherwise, you would look funny with your bra straps visible. If you’re not comfortable with a short dress, then don’t get one just because that gown looks fabulous on you. You run the risk of constantly pulling it down during the entire ceremony.

Comfort is not only applicable to evening dresses. See to it that you’re comfortable with your shoes as well. It’s a no-no to wear your new shoes for the first time during the wedding, or any special occasion. You’d end up having blisters and limping while walking to the reception.

As there are traditional activities that are carried out during the reception, the need for wearing a comfortable evening dress and a pair of shoes is paramount.

Kate Middleton’s gorgeous royal wedding gown has placed the spotlight on beautiful bridal lace. Long a favorite of brides, royal or otherwise, there is nothing quite like exquisite lace for a wedding gown. Get inspired with romantic lace wedding dresses.

The royal bridal gown had lace on the bodice and skirt, but it was the sheer lace sleeves that left people gasping. Without a doubt, long lace sleeves are now the hottest wedding trend going. Happily, many bridal designers already offer many elegant gowns featuring those gorgeous sleeves, so you won’t have to wait until next season to find a similar dress to Kate’s. Priscilla of Boston has several stunning gowns with lace in their collection. One of the loveliest is actually a silk ballgown with a removable lace jacket. That is an excellent option for brides who wish to have the look of the lace sleeves for the ceremony, but want a strapless dress for the reception. Pearl bridal jewelry would be the ideal accompaniment to the classic lines of the Priscilla lace gowns.

Designer Elizabeth Fillmore is another to offer a wedding gown with lace sleeves. She shows a dress which has all-over lace in a soft fluid style. The sleeves are to the elbow, rather than full length, and the vibe is far less formal and traditional than some of the other lace gowns. Elizabeth Fillmore’s lace dress is more vintage-romantic than princess-grand. It would be lovely for a bride getting married in an historic mansion, a beautiful garden, or even a wooded clearing.

For brides who really do want to feel like a princess on their wedding day, the Legends by Romona Keveza may have just what you are looking for. She has a gown in her collection which is a cross between two of the loveliest-ever royal brides: Kate Middleton and Grace Kelly. The gown features a v-neckline, similar to Kate’s gown, and has a very flattering cummerbund style waist. The lace used is very delicate and feminine. Pair this gown with an opulent set of crystal and pearl bridal jewelry and a lace edge veil.
