About Non-Traditional Wedding Dresses
Did you know that you don’t have to wear a wedding dress to get married? Just because it’s tradition to wear a long white dress doesn’t mean you have to follow suit. Unconventional brides have been charming the wedding world with their gorgeous wedding day wardrobe choices.
A non-traditional wedding dress is usually worn to complement a non-traditional wedding at which the couple decides to do things differently to showcase their personalities. Another scenario in which a bride may not wear the classic wedding gown is a second wedding. She might choose to wear a skirt and blouse, a jumpsuit, or simply a more mature dress.
What makes a wedding dress non-traditional? There can be many factors. The color and silhouette are typically what people recognize as classic or alternative; think of the standard white princess ball gown.
However, patterns, details, length, and shape can also make a wedding dress non-traditional. Some brides choose to really show off their originality and forgo a dress altogether, opting for pants and a top, a two-piece skirt ensemble, or even a swimming suit!
Just because your bridal wear isn’t conventional doesn’t mean you can’t pay homage to tradition. Wearing a veil can be a nice nod to classic wedding customs. Brides can still wear jewelry, heels, and other popular wedding accessories. You do you!
