A Closer Sneak Peek at Blue Wedding Dresses

A bride is supposed to wear something blue to her wedding. So why can’t it be the dress? Many women are moving away from white and going for blue wedding dresses instead.

The biggest reason for this is that blue looks great on many women. So for women who decide that they don’t want a dress like everyone else’s, it is a logical choice. Another thing is that there are so many shades of blue that it is easy for women to find one that they like.

Very light blues are some of the most popular since a lot of women still want their wedding dress to be a light color. Baby blue and sky blue look light and pleasant, and add a lovely glow to any bride. Dark blues are dramatic and seem to charge their wearer with vitality. Light blues seem to be popular in the warm months and darker blues in cooler times of the year.

Blue wedding dresses have actually been very popular through history. Blue was a color that was difficult to make up until fairly recently, and so blue fabrics were generally reserved for nobility and the very wealthy. This made blue a very desirable color for wedding gowns.

Also, blue was a color associated with the Virgin Mary, so many women wanted to wear it on their special day. It was the color of purity, eternal love, and fidelity, making it a very powerful symbol. This is actually where the tradition of wearing “something blue” came from. Women felt that if they wore something blue their husbands would be forever faithful to them.

So, blue wedding dresses are actually very traditional if you go far enough back in history. There is a lot of symbolism to blue, and now that there are so many blue fabrics available, it is easy to see why women are gravitating toward this color again.

If you like the idea of your wedding gown being blue, you can look around at some specialty wedding stores. Blue is not as unusual as some other colors for wedding dresses, so you may find a selection of blue gowns at large dress stores as well.

Finding blue wedding dresses might be a little tricky, especially if you are looking for something in particular. If you find you are having trouble finding the perfect dress, try some different methods. Looking at blue evening gowns is one idea, or you can have your dress custom made. Looking for used wedding dresses is an idea many women have. Sometimes wedding dresses of different colors are sold after the wedding.

By wearing blue wedding dresses, brides show that they have their own ideas and are willing to do things that aren’t necessarily traditional. Blue is a fantastic and traditional color that you can wear if you love the symbolism and history it carries, or if you just like the color. It’s your big day; wear what you love!

Sky Blue Sky [CD/DVD] $19.98 In 1999, Wilco willingly abdicated their position as one of the leading acts in the alt-country movement to dive head-first into the challenging waters of experimental pop with their album Summerteeth, and moved even further away from their rootsy origins with Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and A Ghost Is Born, winning the group a new and enthusiastic audience along the way. So it might amuse a number of the band’s earlier fans that in many respects Wilco’s sixth studio album, Sky Blue Sky, sounds like the long-awaited follow-up to 1996′s Being There — while it lacks the ramshackle shape-shifting and broad twang of that earlier album, Sky Blue Sky represents a shift back to an organic sound and approach that suggests the influence of Neil Young’s Harvest and the more polished avenues of ’70s soft rock. Sky Blue Sky also marks Wilco’s first studio recordings since Nels Cline and Pat Sansone joined the group, and they certainly make their presence felt — with Cline, Wilco has its strongest guitarist to date, and while his interplay with Sansone on numbers like “Impossible Germany” and “Walken” lacks the skronky muscle of his more avant-garde work of the past, it’s never less than inspired and he works real wonders with Jeff Tweedy’s lovely melodies. Sansone’s keyboard work also shines, adding soulful accents to “Side with the Seeds” and Mellotron on “Leave Me (Like You Found Me),” as does Mikael Jorgensen’s piano and organ, and overall this is Wilco’s strongest album as an ensemble to date. Tweedy’s vocals boast a clarity and nuance that reveals he’s grown in confidence and skill as a singer, and the songs recall Summerteeth’s beautiful but unsettling mix of lovely tunes and lyrics that focus on troubled souls and crumbling relationships. Between the pensive “Be Patient with Me,” the lovelorn “Hate It Here,” and “On and On and On”‘s pledge that “we’ll stay together” squared off against the resignation of “Please don’t cry/We’re designed to die,” Sky Blue Sky isn’t afraid to go to the dark places, but Tweedy and his bandmates also find plenty of beauty, inspiration, and real joy along the way, and the album’s open, natural sound is an ideal match for the material. Sky Blue Sky may find Wilco dipping their toes into roots rock again, but this doesn’t feel like a step back so much as another fresh path for one of America’s most consistently interesting bands. [Sky Blue Sky was released in a special edition with a bonus DVD, Wilco: Shake It Off, which features interviews with Tweedy and his bandmates as they discuss the album's genesis and the more direct approach of the Sky Blue Sky sessions. Shake It Off also features live performances of eight tunes from the album recorded during rehearsals at Wilco's practice and recording space; the arrangements follow those on the album fairly closely, but the playing is dynamic and fiery, and they complement the slighter cleaner takes on the CD quite nicely.] ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Performers:
