The Two Piece Wedding Dress Is Becoming More And More Popular Every Year!

Two Piece Wedding Dress

The conventional wedding gown is a single piece garment. However, as more and more brides look for a different look, the two piece wedding dress is fast becoming a common sight in weddings today. There are many different forms that a two piece gown can take but the classic one is comprised of a beautiful bustier or halter-tops and a bottom skirt with the specific design dependent on the bride's taste.

Apart from an attractive look, having two separate pieces for the top and skirt of the wedding gown also has a functional role - it is easier to fit to the bride's specifications. Since the bottom and top are two different pieces, the dress can be tailored to fit the exact size of the bride with adjustments being made to each piece separately. The two piece dress also has a better finish when the bride wants to wear a skirt or top that has special significance but that would look odd if worn with a single piece wedding gown.

A simple satin halter-top works best with a skirt having elaborate designs. In the same way, an ornamented or embroidered bustier fits in well with a plain skirt. The idea is to balance the bottom and top and avoid too many designs that crowd the gown. A two piece wedding dress does not have to be the classic skirt and top.

You can still achieve a two-piece wedding gown by using a colored sash that creates the illusion of a separate top and bottom. The sash may be tied around the waist in a beautiful bow or done using a simple knot then letting the ends slightly flow. Note that the sash must be of a different color in order to bring out the break. Many brides that go for a sash will base their choice of color on the overall theme color of the wedding. Another approach is going for a color that matches the groom's tie.

You can also achieve a two-piece wedding dress by using small delicate jackets or boleros. When worn and matched well, the bolero adds a unique sophistication to the wedding dress. You can have an added touch of class by using silk or velvet for the jacket. Like any other two piece gown, the bride can choose from any one of the different design patterns available from simple to delicate lace patterns. They too can also be in a different color from the dress to contrast or complement the rest of the gown.

The bolero jacket and in particular those made from delicately woven lace provide and eye catching and stunning finish to a great part because of the touch of Spanish style traditionally associated with this jacket. The boleros are ideal for outdoor weddings especially when the weather is cool or chilly. In any case, if required, the jacket can quickly be removed during the occasion without taking away the elegance of the wedding dress.
