10 Tips on Finding the Right Wedding Gown
In addition to the budget, here
are other preparations when you will look for wedding dresses that fit the
personality and theme / party concept.
Wedding preparations have already
begun. Surely the couple has prepared some important lists to remember and do.
For women, finding the right dress is a long-awaited activity. But beforehand,
make sure that you have done the following 4 (four) main things:
·
Do a wedding dress survey well in advance of
purchase. Ideally do 8 or 10 months before Day H. When the ideal wedding dress
has been found, there is still time to keep up with your body condition. The
search for a wedding dress done long before Day H avoids the bride and groom
from shopping and makes spontaneous decisions without careful consideration.
·
Define the budget first. If you like wedding
dresses that exceed the budget, try to consult with the designer or the seller,
whether there is a similar dress or the dress is revised so that it can reach
the appropriate budget.
·
Customize your wedding dress with the location
of the event / wedding party. For example a party held on the beach of course
the wedding dress is chosen in contrast to the party held in the ballroom. Meanwhile,
bride should also pay attention to the dress that will be used for wedding
ceremony. Perhaps the location of the wedding ceremony suggests to dress
modestly, so it is not advisable to use a dress with open or short shoulder
model.
·
Make your wishes clear. Believe it or not, the
theme of romantic, classic, elegant and glamorous dresses has their differences
and advantages. So convey your desires in detail to the designer or the seller,
including about your personality and style / taste in everyday dress.
From its history, the development
of this style of wedding dress not only includes a change of orientation in
terms of dress style, but also norms and customs that will later form a culture
that culminates in civilization. Especially the contradiction between Eastern
and Western cultures is an interesting factor for the language of hegemony in
this phenomenon. This phenomenon becomes a commodity in the modern era as now,
plus the role of media that participate in spreading the virus capitalist,
fertilize this. Many media specializing in the development of fashion and
lifestyle. The emergence of such media makes people think it's natural for
their awareness in how to dress. The fairness that is formed, both in the
subconscious and conscious, is a testament to the power of hegemony built by
world-renowned clothing brand manufacturers.
As previously described on style,
Nicos Hadjinicolaou describes the style or 'visual ideology' as 'a special form
of the overall ideology of a class' (Walker, 2010: 169). If one can understand
the reason for the statistic change over time, he also acquires the key to the
laws of cultural evolution. Hadjinicolaou's statement is in fact about the
right target when placed on the development of the wedding dress as one of the
fashion artifacts. Through the exposure of history to its development in the
era of globalization as it is today, the trend of wedding dress is still a lot
of romanticism featuring a rich fairy tale of detail. Although in Indonesia
alone, some individuals still choose to wear traditional clothing each area to
wear during their wedding reception, but not a few who added a Victorian-style
white wedding dress as one of the costumes worn during their wedding reception.
The value of internationalism
seems to be an inherent part of the lightweight design and the touch of a
transparent cloth complete the design collection that is now issued by the
designers for Viktorian wedding dress. Classic colors such as ivory and
champagne are still a favorite, while the silhouette of the dress leads to a
bolder cutting. Even for those who are less daring to wear an open shirt
because the impression of sexy can modify it in a closed silhouette that is far
from the impression of indulgence? The latest modification that is now a trend
is to combine Viktorian style wedding dress with the use of veil or Middle
Eastern style (Arabic / Turkish) or which is now widely referred to as a Muslim
wedding dress. Although there is a change but the impression of classy and
graceful still attached to each design. Similarly, for those who want to cut
the dress to be shorter or not balloon, all can be created as the wishes of the
bride.
From all this it is understood
that, even if the style of Western-style white wedding dress is hegemonious to
all women in the world, but they can still intelligently choose not even
hesitate to modify the style of the dress to fit their hearts and minds. This
modification means, from the main style of Viktorian wedding dress, can still
be added or reduced in terms of model, size, shape, ornament, and various other
design creations. This is because of course the fashion or fashion world will
always experience change, but there is no system that will continue to affect
other classes of society to accept moral values, political and cultural. This
concept assumes a simple concern by the majority of the population for a
particular direction proposed by them with power. The world's leading clothing
manufacturers are not just hegemonies society. They form a system called conglomeration.
They work with the media, to spread the mindset. Media is the most appropriate
tool to spread the thinking of clothing manufacturers in the hegemony of
society. Today there is a growing media specializing in the development of
fashion, and most of them have high penetration rates to different parts of the
world.
