The Best Wedding Dresses for Every Season
No matter what season, country or weather you’re getting married in, you’ll want to pick the right wedding dress – after all, you want to be comfortable, appropriate and beautiful on your special day. Before you go shopping, think about the season you’re getting married in, current trends and fashions, your own style and preferences, your color scheme and the general temperature and location you plan on getting married in.
The perfect bridal gown has to do more than merely make the bride look like a princess, it also needs to suit the season, fit in with the venue, and personify the overall theme of the wedding. While venues and themes will vary, there are certain details which are always appealing when in season. For a spring wedding, think romance and flowers. A floral lace is lovely for an ultra-romantic bride. If your style is more dramatic, opt for an over-the-top three-dimensional floral applique all over the skirt of a strapless wedding gown. It is a haute couture style that will make you look like you just stepped out of the pages of a magazine.
For summer, hopefully the sun will shine and summer is a great opportunity for an outdoor wedding. Get on trend with a short, retro style wedding dress to keep cool in, especially if you’re getting married on a beach. Or how about a flowing Grecian style to get in touch with your inner goddess? Or a cute and simple empire line gown with bare feet to really channel that flower child look. Don’t forget the sun cream – starting off your honeymoon with sunburn is not a good idea! Similarly, before your wedding, make sure you don’t have too many strap marks or tan lines if you’re wearing a strapless dress. For color, anything goes in the summer, but if you’re feeling bold, go for bright, sunny colors and make a statement with your accessories. Oversized shades and stunning shoes are both fair game – have fun in the sun for your summer wedding.
The best wedding gowns for autumn are warm and rich in color and style. The crisp white dresses of summer are out, replaced by soft ivory, rich cream, or even dramatic golden hues. Custom bridal jewelry in warm colored Swarovski pearls or crystals will complement the rich hue of the wedding gown. Sumptuous fabrics like silk satin or taffeta are gorgeous for autumn brides. Slubby silk dupioni is ideal for the rustic elegant barn weddings which are so popular in the fall months. Beaded or embroidered vine motifs are beautiful embellishments for fall wedding dresses.
For winter wedding, there are a myriad of themes for weddings reflecting the snowy season. Whether you choose traditional Christmas colors of red and green, or opt for more subdued and stylish silvers and blues to represent the frosts and skies of winter, a winter theme is likely to be talked about for years to come. Glowing candles and sparkling fairy lights can also become wonderful centerpieces to emphasize the warmth of family and community that brings people together at a wedding. Custom wedding dresses can fit into the color scheme, or feature motifs such as a beautiful, unique snowflake for a one-of-a-kind bride.
Choosing a wedding dress can be the highlight of planning your wedding. It is important to understand that you will not chose the first wedding dress that you see, and that it may take some time to find the perfect wedding dress. It is equally important that you do not stress during the process of choosing a wedding dress. You will know immediately when you see the right one.
