Irish Wedding Dresses

A lot of my friends tease me about my obsession with all things Irish. Ireland does not even fit in my ancestry, you see, yet I can not get it out of my mind. I love Irish necklaces, Irish music, and Irish beer. Most of all, however, I love Irish wedding dresses. I can not get enough of them. I have been to Irish weddings, and they took my breath away. All of the women looked as beautiful as medieval princesses, and the men acted like princes. If I ever get married, I want to wear an Irish wedding dress. I do not care what my friends say.

I have been looking at wedding bridal gowns for several months now, and comparing the different styles. This is how I came to my current obsession with Irish wedding dresses. Up to that point, I wasn't even aware that such a thing as an Irish wedding dress existed. I figured that all styles of weddings had basically the same bridal wear.

Boy was I was I mistaken!

The Irish wedding dresses look nothing like the traditional western style that I am used to seeing. They are more decorous, more ornamental. The look is at the same time more down to earth and more ornate. Many Irish wedding dresses convey such classical elements as corsets, often neglected in modern American wedding dresses. They really do flatterer a girls figure, especially if she has curves like mine. Even the Irish plus size dresses look fantastic, and the mother of the bride dresses turn an old woman into a girl!
