Tips On Choosing Your Dream Wedding Dress, Veil, and Tiara
When buying a wedding dress, veil, and tiara, make sure they all match perfectly. Begin with the dress and have it customized to fit you properly. Whether you want a vintage style dress, contemporary designer dress, or something totally unique, it should suit your tastes and body type. Choose a veil and tiara that match the dress. Read on for some tips for looking great on your wedding day!
Look through bridal magazines for some ideas on a wedding dress. You can also look at images on the internet for some inspiration. Decide whether you want a vintage dress, designer gown, or something that combines both styles. If you want a designer gown but the price tag is more than what you can afford, look for a designer-inspired dress.
Another option is a custom wedding dress. You can have one modified to fit you. If money isn't a problem, have a new dress designed and tailored just for you. If money is a problem, buy a vintage gown and try fixing it up yourself. Have a relative or friend help you put an outfit together. Look at pictures of vintage dresses for some ideas on how to customize your own.
Keep in mind that alterations are almost always needed, even if you buy a brand new wedding dress. Ask the seamstress to measure you to determine how much modification is needed. If you want to order online, print out pictures of the dresses you like and take them to a local shop. Ask if any of them can be altered to fit you, and if so, how much the tailoring service will cost.
Don't forget about the headpiece and veil. The accessories depend on the style of the dress. Veils come in a variety of lengths and styles. You wouldn't want a long veil if you're wearing a short, simple dress at a beach wedding. Likewise, you wouldn't want a shoulder length veil if you're wearing a ball gown with a long train.
As for the tiara, you will find many, many styles. A bridal tiara can have pearls, Austrian crystals, Swarovski crystals, flowers, etc. It can be gold, silver, or colored. Whichever one you choose, make sure that it matches the wedding dress and veil. Also, don't be afraid to spend money on a good tiara. A cheap tiara will only tear apart before you make it down the aisle.

Question for the Muslim sisters about wearing silk dresses & veils?
Would you feel comfortable wearing a long silky very modest dress with a matching veil in public? I guess what I'm saying is do you feel like silk fabric is a little to intimate? The Muslim brothers may answer this too because I would also like to know what they think about a muslim woman wearing silk fabric in public.
Historical Perspectives On Islamic Dress
©1996-2008
womeninworldhistory.com
In December 2001, Nicholas Kristof reported in the New York Times that although Afghan women were no longer require to wear the burqa, they did so anyway. And that "accosting a female stranger to interview her is a shocking breach of protocol... 'We obey our husbands...that is our culture' said a 23-year-old." Most husbands, he wrote, believe the Pashto phrase: 'A woman belongs in the house - or in a grave.'
This age-old belief is not exclusive to Afghan culture but, in varying degrees, historically can be found within the ideology of many cultures, including those in the West. In the Muslim world in some areas it is reinforced by the belief that the honor of the family resides in the conduct of its women. Honor depends on a woman remaining chaste; should she be violated in any way, the men of the family risk being seen as weak and perhaps even being ostracized. Thus, in order to be respected by men, and protected from them, in public a woman should not flout her looks. Of equal importance is the stated Qu'ranic principle which requires women to dress modestly in public. Although definitions of what this entails vary regionally, many Muslim women cover themselves to some extent in deference to their religion.
Women activists in the Muslim world are less preoccupied with what women wear than with securing other freedoms such as access to education, better health care for their families, or wider opportunities for work. Commonly they argue for women's rights under the supposition of a culture-specific struggle, focusing on the implementation and activation of human rights claimed to be granted by Islam. Feminist consciousness and action may indeed exist in greater measure with the wearer of Islamic dress than with one who wears up-to-date Western style clothes!
Rather than offering unasked for advice, non-Muslims might educate themselves with regard to local customs and religious belief, and offer support when it is requested by people within the culture itself. Following is an excerpted essay from a section in the curriculum unit Women in the Muslim World. The essay provides an historical look at Islamic dress. The section contains primary source accounts on the topic from a variety of times and places.
ISLAMIC DRESS
Most Muslim women today do not wear a full face veil. It is more common to see women in hijab, loose clothing topped by a type of scarf worn around the head and under the chin. Women don't share a common style nor have the same reasons for wearing hijab. For many it reflects the belief that they are following God's commandments, are dressing according to "the correct standard of modesty," or simply are wearing the type of traditional clothes they feel comfortable in.
