Informal Wedding Gown Dress


Informal Wedding Dresses

The reality of informal wedding dresses is that when you choose a more simple look for your wedding outfit, you automatically become the star attraction - and not your gown!

One of the biggest bridal fashion faux pas is that brides go overboard for decking themselves out for their special occasion! If your goal is to be the most stunning and lovely creature that your groom has ever beheld, then you will certainly wish to keep your bridal gown and accessories informal and simple, drawing the focus onto yourself, and not your bridal outfit.


There are so many awesome and impressive informal wedding gowns from which you can choose, for your understated and elegant entry into your wedding ceremony.

If you wish to get married in a National Park or a lovely city park location, then you should keep the length of your informal wedding gown short, and certainly not any longer than just above ankle length. You should definitely forgo a wedding dress train when doing an outdoor wedding ceremony, as the fabric of the train can become soiled or ripped.


If you have decided upon a waterfront or beach bridal ceremony, then you may wish to leave off long sleeves from your dress, and instead choose short sleeves or beaded straps.

You also have quite a bit of choice for the materials and fabrics that are conducive to an understated wedding gown. I have seen darling crocheted or knitted lace dresses that were very pretty, and yet had that enticing informal flair to them.

These brides either made their wedding ensemble themselves, or a beloved grandmother, aunt or even their mother spent time lovingly stitching one for the beloved bride. These informal gowns end up becoming cherished family heirlooms.

As far as adding accessories and headpieces to a informal wedding dresses, I have seen some very impressive results from the traditional free form wire and bead or semi precious stone and fresh water pearl tiaras, for accenting the bride's gown.

These unique and one of a kind wedding headpieces are a very pretty option to wearing a traditional veil. You can still wear a bridal tiara while dancing, without snagging a veil. You can also accent an informal bridal gown with simple flowers or even tastefully arranged ribbons in you bridal hairdo that will still give you a fresh and pretty look.

Differences in Wedding Dresses




Starting from the time that you reach your teenage years through your puberty stage and gradually until you turn to be a young adolescent, you will have definitely thought about marriage at least once in your life. It is just natural to do so and there is no need for you to be ashamed even if you are a very conservative person. This is because marriage is considered to be one of the most memorable and important events in one's life.


Since marriage is something which is sacred and is supposed to be a once in a lifetime experience, it is always celebrated in a remarkable manner. This is especially true if the families of the bride and groom are exceptionally wealthy. In this kind of setting, there would definitely be a lot of guests and of course a grand party after the wedding. However, you will notice that the focus of the whole wedding ceremony and the party (if the bride does not change to casual clothing) will be the wedding gown which is worn by the bride. This is due to the fact that wedding gowns signify a huge part of marriage itself and has become a wedding symbol throughout the years.

Asides from being a symbol of marriage, wedding gowns are also highly prioritized in a wedding arrangement for it has been a tradition to make the bride look her best during the ceremony. And you can only do this by making her wear the most elegant of wedding gowns.

There are a lot of variations of wedding gowns in general. This is due to the fact that culture plays a major role in the designs of these bridal clothing. Some of the aspects of the gown design which mostly varies due to cultural beliefs are color, length and pattern. A perfect example is the traditional wedding gowns of the Vietnamese brides which is called the Ao dai. The Ao dai is usually in red color. It also has an oriental pattern which is mostly seen in the front part extending from the chest area to the thighs or feet. The red color of this bridal dress is in line with how the Vietnamese culture sees it as a sign of good luck and prosperity.

In the Asian countries with Eastern culture such as China and India, the wedding dresses are similar to the Ao dai of Vietnam with regards to the significance of the red color pertaining to good luck. However, women these days from the said countries mostly opt to wear a color other than red for their traditional wedding dress. White Western wedding dresses are also becoming a more popular choice for the young Chinese brides to be. This is proof that globalization has indeed become something that has influenced numerous people from all over the world.

Other countries such as Japan have weddings wherein the bride will wear three or more dresses. This is done throughout the ceremony and after which the bride will wear a kimono which is a popular Japanese traditional dress during the celebration proper.

For Javanese people of Indonesia, they wear a kebaya which is a sort of traditional blouse with the batik. In the Philippines, the Baro't saya is the traditional wedding attire for women which is partnered along with the Barong Tagalog for men.

Nowadays though, there is a rising demand for bridal gowns which are customized to fit the personality of the bride. These wedding dresses are mostly casual and give a unique touch to the ambiance of the ceremony itself which is a very creative way to differentiate your own wedding.
