Do’s of Informal Wedding Dresses
DO feel free to choose an informal or simple wedding gown
if you’re planning a tropical wedding ceremony. Affordable
sundresses in white or ivory for the bride often create a casual
and elegant setting for a tropical wedding affair. Just be sure
the dresses of your attendants or the outfits of the male
attendants don’t outshine the bride! After all, you might melt
in the Hawaiian sun if you plan to wear a formal bridal dress
during your sand nuptials. Always think of your wedding ceremony
destination when choosing your bridal attire. We recommend
One Stop Plus for this item.
DO plan to change into inexpensive or more casual bride
attire for your wedding reception. This is your chance to get
more colorful, if you wish. If you prefer pants to dresses,
choose a lovely full figured dress for the ceremony and change
into one of your soft colored pants suits for the reception.
Look for suit jackets which hit right at the hip bone, for the
most slimming look. If the weather is warm, consider a
sleeveless jacket or tunic suit, paired with sparkling flat
sandals. While weddings ceremonies can be traditional, the
reception is the time to relax and enjoy yourself! We
recommend
Sydney's closet for this item.
DO dare to go for a shorter informal wedding dress.
Traditional wedding gowns often hit the floor, with trains which
run for miles down the back of the dress. However, these gowns
can be a work out to carry around during a ceremony and
reception. If you want a more informal look to your big day, go
with a shorter style of dress. Just be sure to keep the length
between mid knee and mid calf for the most flattering look for
large size brides!We recommend
Igigi for this item.
DO consider buying a used dress, to
save money. Vintage and antique dresses can often be found in
large sizes at various wedding consignment stores across the
country. Not only can you save money, but you can often find
interesting dresses from many years ago which can add a charming
appeal to your wedding attire. To save time, call ahead to
various consignment stores and wedding outlets to ensure they
carry your full figure size.We recommend
Igigi for this item.
Don’ts of Informal Wedding Dresses
DON'T be afraid to wear white or ivory! No one says your
wedding dress must be white or ivory. However, many plus size
women rarely veer away from dark colors like black and navy. Use
your wedding day as an opportunity to break out of your dark
colored rut and try a lighter color dress. You’ll feel great and
look like a glowing bride! We
recommend
Igigi for this item.
DON'T forget about your shoes! The easiest way to make an
informal wedding dress look elegant and wedding-ready is by
choosing the right accessories. Even if you want a more informal
look, don’t skip out on beautiful jewelry, shoes and hair
accessories. After all, you want to remind people you are the
bride…not just another dressed up guest! If your dress is long
and you want to stay cozy, choose white or ivory ballet flats
for your big day. However, if you chose a shorter style, show
them you’re sexy with hot heels. We recommend
Roaman's for this item.
DON'T be overly daring with an informal wedding dress.
Sure, it’s your big day but you want to keep it classy and not
regret showing too much skin in years to come. To flatter your
figure the most, it’s not all about showing skin. Instead, it’s
about showing off your “good areas” and concealing your “bad
areas”. Accentuate your waist and bust by wearing a casual dress
with a ribbon around the bottom of your bust area. Or, show off
your shapely calves by wearing a dress which falls just at the
bottom of your knee. We recommend
Sydney's closet for this item.
