Traditional & Custom Wedding Ceremonies

As you think about and shop for your wedding dress, it is important to keep in mind the style of wedding you are planning and to choose a dress accordingly. Following are the traditional guidelines for matching your dress style to your type of wedding:

Very Formal or Formal Wedding

The dress for the very formal wedding is floor length, in satin, lace, or peau de soie, and worn with a long cathedral or chapel-length train. The veil is usually full length and may be decorated with lace, beading or silk flowers. Long gloves may be worn with short-sleeved or sleeveless dress. For a formal wedding, the train is chapel length or a sweep train and somewhat less elaborate than the very formal. The veil is usually hem-length but a fingertip or shoulder veil or even a hat is appropriate. White kid, lace or fabric gloves are a nice accessory for a short-sleeved dress.

Semi-Formal Wedding

The dress for a semi-formal wedding is usually elegant and short or simple and floor-length, traditionally without a train. A street-length dress is complimented by a short veil, a long dress by a longer veil, if desired. The veil may also be replaced by a hat or flowers in the hair.

Informal Wedding

The bride in an informal wedding may choose to wear a street-length dress, a silk suit or jacketed dress in white, or any color other than black.
