Generally, couples know when it's time to say "I Do". As soon as your partner agree to tie a knot together, you plan a wedding date and choose what wedding type it should be, a church wedding or a civil wedding ceremony.

When we envision a wedding plan process, it's the dress that often stands out and takes the center stage in the union of two individuals. But how it become an important symbol and why it is so important to a bride?

Traditionally, wedding dress talks about history, culture, religion and other practices, specifically to the bride's family-oriented beliefs and tradition. It also gives a deep important meaning, that wedding gown should be white that symbolize purity and virginity of the bride.

Today, in a modern-day bride — women have the freedom to choose their ideal wedding dress, regardless of their beliefs, no matter what color, fabric, shape, or style. The stereotype ends, this time it focuses to the woman's identity as an individual and being independent wife. It ends their singlehood to a new lifetime commitment, now with a partner.

Not minding the tradition, the beliefs, and the culture, whether you bought it, custom–made or passed on, it's the dress that will carry the bride as she walked down the aisle while her groom is waiting. Though white gown is still popular by choice and remain the important part in every girls milestones.

LOOM BAND DRESS

What an amazing story appearing on my Facebook timeline, a dress made of a loom band.

Yes! A dress made of a thousand loom bands by Kathryn Burnand, who does not work because of a disability but despite of her situation she decided to make a dress a go!

It was woven together with a 24,000 loom bands for almost 2 months creating an amazing LOOM BAND DRESS. Her multicolored dress with a size 4 was posted by her friend Helen Wright on ebay for a bidding war, with a starting price of £50.

Now it has been bid online at ebay for £170,100.00.

The craze for loom bands has been entirely trending here in our country, the Philippines. And almost of the kids here in my place loves to make bracelets, hair ornaments, ring etc..all are made of loom bands. But this is new, it is very unique and fashionably made.

Though she assert that the dress is not very nice to wear because it is heavy and all the plastic bands are quite uncomfortable to wear as well.
