Your Wedding Gown: Style Do’s and Don’ts



Do: Tie your look to your wedding location. If you're having a traditional ceremony with a formal reception, opt for a classic, gown style. If your getting married outdoors in an afternoon garden ceremony, consider a strapless sheath made of a light material. If you're marrying in the sand on an island, a tea-length gown with festive shoes is the ultimate nontraditional wedding attire.


Don't: Let your wedding style dash your dreams of the perfect gown. If you have your heart set on a fun, sexy gown but you're worried it's not appropriate for your ceremony site, consider carrying a sash for a more demure look during your ceremony.


Do: Think about wearing fun footwear. Getting married in the middle of July? Consider sporting flip-flops under your gown. If you're all cowgirl, try a pair of boots. And for a slope-side winter wedding, you've got the perfect opportunity to don a pair of furry white snow boots.


Don't: Dress more casual than your guests. If you choose to have a black-tie, formal affair and expect your guests to dress up, make sure you follow suit! Any floor-length gown is appropriate, whether decorated with intricate beading, or just accessorized with beautiful jewelry.


Do: Choose the right white for your skin tone, no matter what style you pick.

Do: Let your personality show through your accessories. Give a traditional gown a fun twist with a colorful sash or large, flashy earrings, or keep your style poised and polished with a simple pearl necklace and earrings.


Don't: Let your jewelry overpower your ensemble. If your dress has lots of intricate details already, opt for simple pieces, or even just your engagement ring.


Do: Keep an open mind when it comes to shape. Try on many different types of gowns -- you never know how they'll fit until you take them off the hanger.


Do: Pick the right undergarments. Many bridal salons recommend choosing pieces that closely match your skin tone, and there are many varieties of body-shaping products that will perfect your silhouette no matter how slinky the gown.
