What color is your formal gown for your next cruise?

[love2vacation]

I thought it might be fun to see what colors are the most popular for gowns for upcoming cruises. There are a lot of great colors in formal gowns this spring, what did you choose?

1st night: Midnight blue silk chiffon tea-length with v-neckline, asymmetrical hem, cap flutter sleeves, and small appliques of iridescent beading.

 

2nd night: Sleeveless A-line chocolate brown satin cocktail dress with cream and turquoise border print, v-neckline, turquoise ribbon sash.

I'm most likely bringing my purple gown (5 day - one formal night). My mother is trying to talk me out of it! :(

[Amarna01]

I have a long red gown for the first night, and a short black dress for the second night:D

[agabbymama]

I have a gold & offwhite brocade jacket to wear with an off-white floor length satin skirt for the first formal night.

 

A black brocade jacket with black palazzo pants the second formal night.

Why?

[jkudzu]

One is navy blue with sequins and the other is royal blue. Both are short.:D I wore black last year.

[dreamtravel]

I am taking two dresses for 2 formal nights. One is a black and has that halter top style on top. The other is strapless and it's gray with black lace on top.

Haven't found my dress yet, I want something that is elegant but at the say time will knock my husband's socks off! We are celebrating our 25th at the supper club and I really want to look good. On our last cruise I wore a long red halter satin gown and he was pretty impressed with that so I want to find something that is equally nice. He thinks I should go with a blue colored halter gown but I was thinking about off white, any ideas on what I should look for?

[eltigre]

1st dress is a halter royal blue floor length with a bit of glitter at bustline & chiffon overlay. Black shoes & purse. Diamond stud earrings & necklace for this one.

 

2nd is black palazzo style pants with slit up left leg & red satin top 3/4 length sleeves & red shoes & purse. Garnet earrings & necklace for this one.

 

Also have a silver & black real sparkely(?) sleeveless top to go with pants for 1 night.

Both are very pretty, and will be fine! :)

 

Good for you -- I didn't wear a matronly "mommy of the bride" dress either! In fact, my midnight blue formal is a "daughter's wedding" dress, too! :D

[clcurry]

I have a sparkley halter-style cocktail length black dress. The halter straps are black sheer with little sparkles on them.

 

I also have a long bright red dress with spaghetti straps and a slit up to the mid thigh.

 

However, I am not sure I will wear either as we might opt to dine in the alternative restaurants for formal nights (but I might still wear my dresses there!).

[anniversary cruiser]

I have a silk strapless calf length dark red dress for the first night bought from Monsoon in the sale and a sparkly red halterneck backless number for the second bought from E-bay haven't decided on the shoes/sandals yet - I don't get much chance to dress up these days so am really looking forward to it.

I think your dresses are fine and I think your daughter is a beautiful bride! (takes after her mother, obviously ;) )

Used to wear really pretty dresses in all shades of blue and silver. On my last cruise (January 2007), I bought two beautiful outfits . . . both black and both have those fly away pants. One top is short and sort of a tuxedo style with black beads . . . . the other is a three piece with a solid black top over the black fly away pants and then a long (below the knees) fly away material jacket emblished with very subtle sequines. Bought both in New York on a lark (don't ever let a girlfriend take you to New York for a play and then just "wander through" the shops). :p Whatever . . . I've worn each once before on my January 2007 cruise and plan to wear again on my cruise next month!

[Silvery Seas Cruiser]

First formal night: Black palazzo pants with a silver and black jacket and matching shell.

 

Second formal night: Black cocktail length dress with filmy black chiffon and beaded tunic over it.

 

I have silver and black shoes to go with both of these outfits.

You know . . . I was wondering about that. I have a beutiful pair of strappy black heeled sandals and a pair of really pretty strappy silver heels . . . still up in the air over which pair to take. If I take my silver heeds . . . I get wear my really cute dangling silver earrings but if I take the black ones . . . it just a pair of cure black starburst earrings . . . much more conservative. Hum?

I'm taking brides' maid dresses I wore this year!! I paid a fortune for the darn things, so I'm going to wear them on the cruise, darn it!! I paid more for one of these gowns than I have probably spent on all my other formals together!

 

One is a pretty mossy green strapless ball gown with a sash; the other is a deep aqua/teal that's sort-of strapless with a chiffon halter that starts at the high waist. They're pretty- I don't think they scream "bride's maid" or anything. I'll just have to have them pressed when we get onboard.

[Chigirlcruzin]

First formal night - Teal with black mesh overlay halter cocktail dress

 

Second formal night - Black and Ivory halter gown

[Kristina685]

I'm most likely bringing my purple gown (5 day - one formal night). My mother is trying to talk me out of it! :(

 

Bring that purple dress!! I'm bringing mine too! :D

 

First formal night: Aqua-ish Green with black jewelry and black shoes

 

Second formal night: Purple with gold shoes and MODERATE gold jewelry...I don't wanna blind anyone :D
