Informal Wedding Dresses
![]() |
A wedding dress and a bride's personality should be a perfect fit. The wrong dress can certainly ruin a bride's big day. For this reason, wedding dress designers create wedding dresses that are fit for a queen to dresses that are perfect for a courthouse wedding. Many brides who don't want the huge wedding with all of the hoopla decide to have small weddings where everyone, including the bride, is dressed.
Some brides just cannot see themselves in lace, beads, and yards of satin. They think the traditional wedding dress is just too much for them. They will choose an informal look. They don't even make the groom and his groomsmen wear ties and jackets. This look is perfect for a beach wedding where everyone can come dressed simply and without shoes. Now that's a party!
Brides can find informal wedding dresses just about anywhere, even in non-bridal shop. If the bride wants to wear a white dress, she can easily find one during prom season or during the summer. If she doesn't want white, she can shop in most any shop that sells evening wear or resort wear. If this sounds too informal, then going to a bridal shop is the way to go.
Most bridal shops carry informal wedding dresses. If the bride is older and wants a suit rather than a traditional dress, a bridal shop is certainly a good choice. She might find something in the mother-of-the bride section. Hopefully, the selections won't all scream "I'm not the bride; I'm the mother-of-the-bride." There is a fine line to be considered. No bride wants to be thought of as motherly at her own wedding. A pretty cocktail suit or dress would be perfect.
For a courthouse wedding, many brides wear a Sunday dress, or the type of dress most women used to wear on Sunday. If it's a first wedding, a simple white sundress would be perfect. For a second wedding, off-white or even pink would be lovely. Generally, pastels are best for a wedding if white is not worn.
An informal wedding dress is not necessarily the same as plain. A simple sheath with a little beading or embroidery can make a simple dress more like a wedding dress. In some cases the informal bride might choose to wear a simple pants suit. Some brides may hate dresses and prefer pants. A lovely white pantsuit can certainly take the place of an informal wedding dress.
Brides should consider wearing whatever makes them happy. If the wedding is informal, then the bride can wear an informal wedding dress if she wants. The day is hers and the choice is hers, also. Remember, all brides are beautiful on their wedding day.
