Wedding Hints & Helpers:
Attire
 Did
you know there are FIVE popular
styles of weddings? Before
making any clothing decisions,
you should consider these
styles: very formal, formal,
semi-formal, informal, and the
"hey we're drunk, let's get
hitched" style! These styles may
change based on current trends,
geographic areas, ethnic
preferences, and family
traditions.
For comfort, some newlyweds
may wish to consider alternative
footwear. For the Bride and her
attendants, attractive white
wedding sneakers decorated with
white beads, sequins, ribbons,
or simply white eyelets are
popular alternatives. For men,
formal looking black walking
shoes (New Balance makes these
type of shoes) can be purchased
at most shoe stores.
1. Bridal Gowns
When selecting a Bridal
gown, Brides should remember
that the back of the dress will
receive a lot of attention. A
Bride will be facing away from
her guests more than half of the
time at the wedding ceremony,
and half of the time at the
reception.
At very formal weddings,
the Bride's gown may be in a
stately white, ivory, or pastel
tint. Her veil is usually long
or full, and may double as the
train. Long gloves are sometimes
worn with a short sleeve dress.
An elaborate bouquet, simple
jewelry, and pale hosiery are
also popular.
For semi-formal weddings,
the Bride may choose a long
stately dress of white, ivory or
delicate pastel tints. The
headdress is often finger tip
length, and the accessories are
similar to those worn in a very
formal wedding.
At informal weddings, a
floor length or current
fashionable length of white or
delicate tints in simple
trainless style is sometimes
chosen. The veil is usually
short to elbow length. A simple
bouquet is often selected.
For very informal weddings,
the Bride may wear a suit or
street dress. A bridal hat or
short veil may be used, with a
simple corsage, white shoes, and
gloves.
2.
Bridesmaid Dresses
For very formal weddings, gowns
worn by Bridesmaids are often
floor length, with short or long
sleeves, elaborate fabrics, cap
or hat headdress, gloves, floral
bouquets, and shoes to match.
At semi-formal weddings,
dresses are usually not quite as
long as those seen at very
formal weddings. Fabrics may not
be as elaborate. The headdress
and accessories are the same as
those seen at formal weddings.
For informal weddings,
dresses are often street length
if the Bride wears floor length.
They may also be the same length
as the Bride's dress. A hat or
small headpiece with or without
a short veil to match the Bride
may also be included. Small
Bridesmaid bouquets are quite
popular.
At very informal weddings,
Bridesmaids often wear suits or
dresses similar to the Brides. A
hat may be worn, and a corsage
(instead of a bouquet) may be
used.
3.
Maternal Fashions
Weddings are sometimes just
as exciting for the Mothers of
the Bride and Groom as they are
for the newlyweds themselves!
At very formal weddings,
Mothers often wear floor length
evening or dinner dresses in
harmonizing colors. A small hat
or veil matching or contrasting
the dress may be worn. Gloves, a
small handbag, and a corsage may
complete the ensemble.
For semi-formal weddings,
Mothers may choose a slightly
shorter length dinner dress.
At informal weddings,
Mothers sometimes wear an
elaborate street length dress
with appropriate accessories.
For very informal weddings,
Mom may wear a street length
dress or suit similar to the
attendants with a head covering
and corsage.
