- white variations of colours (cream, ivory etc)
- more modest than most garments
- possibly floor length
- some form of embellishment (ie beading, lace, embroidery)
- luxury (something you spend a lot of money on), fabrics are higher class
- symbolic tradition
- element of expression with woman who wears it- carefully articulated, "brides get judged on that day"
- want to be timeless- nothing too trendy!

These are some images of wedding dresses that are aesthetically accurate to the codes of today in terms of bridal attire. Decorative techniques are difficult to find images of so I have researched haute couture techniques in my 2D folio and am referencing those in my prototypes so far, these are images of inspiration particularly for my third wedding dress as I am going to use a collaging technique to come up with the silhouette and pattern pieces simular to that used by modern artists such as cubists and futurists.
A more deconstructed/less traditional shape:
Excess useage of tulle is very interesting:
