Wedding dresses are an individual’s choice, but sometimes what you believe would suit you, isn’t always the case.
Delbu’s Wedding Dreams offers well-tailored wedding gowns to suit all brides, no matter the look they are after for their big day.

“It is individual to each bride and what she wants,” Delbu’s Wedding Dreams owner Debbie Grove said.
“Sometimes brides come in thinking they want one thing and in turn leave with a totally different look, as they have changed their minds to the look they are after.
“They can start trying on layered, puffy wedding dresses and end up going to a more slinky, smooth dress.
“We are seeing garden weddings and more traditional church weddings.”
Debbie is seeing two trends emerge this year in wedding gowns.
“There was a move towards puffy sleeves, but that wasn’t popular even though brides came in thinking that was what they wanted,” she said.
“Wedding dresses are now being made with detachable sleeves.
“The sleeves can be detachable from either the shoulder or the elbow.”
This means that a bride can wear a gown with sleeves for the more formal part of her wedding, the ceremony and photos, then remove them for the fun, more relaxed part of the day.
The second trend is 3D wedding gowns.
“3D dresses are popular, which are embroidered with motifs that stick out from the gown,” Debbie said.
“For example, the petals and flowers on a dress waving in the breeze.
Perfect for a bride who wants to stand out on her wedding day, 3D floral wedding dresses have unique textures and embellishments that add accents, drama and visual interest to a bridal gown.
This makes 3D wedding gowns ideal for a garden wedding.
