The Perfect Fit for Your Sunny Wedding Day

Planning a summer wedding? Find a bridal gown that captures the breezy feel of a beautiful summer day. Try these ideas while searching through wedding dresses to find the perfect fit for your big day.

Show Some Skin
Sleeveless gowns can be worn in cooler weather, but generally involve having to shop for a wrap or stole to complete the look. Mild weather affords you the chance to wear strapless and backless dresses comfortably. When shopping for your summer wedding dress, look for bridal gowns with delicate necklines and thin straps or no straps.

Choose the Right Fabric
Whether your summer wedding will be casual or formal, avoid heavy fabrics and fur embellishments. Airy silk, organza and tulle have a lighter feel and drape beautifully. While satin shouldn’t be ruled out completely, you should avoid satin with a heavy feel or long sleeves.

Less Is More
For summer weddings, bridal gowns should express a carefree feeling. Shop for a romantic, flowing gown with limited embellishments. Formal weddings taking place in the evening give you a little more wiggle room. If your wedding is very formal, you can shop for designer bridal gowns with elaborate features.

Beach Wedding Dresses
When getting married on the beach, shop for a casual bridal gown. While many brides choose a tea-length bridal gown, this is not mandatory. Take into account weather and your ability to move in the dress—and remember that you’ll probably be barefoot or in flats.
