Beauty? It’s in her jeans.
By Never teh BrideI’m the kind of gal who doesn’t like to be too far from a pair of jeans. Of course, I like to pair my denim with black fitted tops, fancy jewelry, and cute little pumps, so I like to think that I can make denim an integral part of a put-together look. Indeed, I believe that a sleek pair of jeans can be a part of a posh day out. But denim as wedding wear? I have my doubts. Most denim wedding dresses look like this example from Sat’n Spurs:
But jeans aren’t inherently bad. It is, as you’ll shortly see, entirely possible to wear denim at the altar without looking like some kind of hee-haw enthusiast. Here, Missyosigirl at TeamSugar proves that denim doesn’t have to be dowdy when integrated into a dress design:

In case anyone is into Western denim gowns, look in the ‘wedding gown’ section of Sat’n Spurs for plenty more.

I think this gown is adorable. I only wish she hadn’t pulled a Maria VonTrapp and made the skirt and sleeves out of old window hangings. I’m not exaggerating. My mother has those very curtains hanging in her home office. She bought them just a few years ago. I can’t decide whether to applaud this creative use of what’s available or to shutter.

TNBelle, that fabric is available as yardgoods as well. Your mom liked it as curtains, the designer liked it as a gown. I don’t quite see what the problem is.
Not to mention that “denim” comes in many colours … and prints. Many of them would make perfectly nice wedding gowns. I used a white brushed denim as a toile for one wedding dress I was making, and it looked lovely on its own.

Great point, La BellaDonna! …and one that escaped me. I’m not anti-denim, since denim can be a lot of things. I just don’t much care for formalwear that translates jeans directly into dresses

I think it’s a very pretty dress, and the bride obviously loved it, which is the most important thing. I pulled up her site, and she looks SO happy. She was a beautiful bride.

I’m not a fan. I bet it’s heavy too - considering it’s jean material. Not to mention, I bet it would be HOT…
