Women's Wedding Attire

At weddings, it seems that everything centers on the bride's attire. Follow these simple rules to make sure you have the perfect attire for your big day.

For formal weddings, it is customary to wear a long white or off-white dress. The dress may be shorter for semi-formal ceremonies, though. Whatever the bride wears, the bridesmaids should be matched accordingly - the formality of her dress will dictate how formally the rest of the wedding party should be dressed.

If the wedding ceremony is to take place after 6 PM, the wedding tends to be more formal. This may not change the cut of the bride's dress, but should dictate the sort of fabric used.

Accessories, too, are dictated by the style of gown. If the dress is short-sleeved, long gloves should be worn; if it is long-sleeved, gloves may be worn at the bride's discretion. The bride's shoes should also match the gown. A long veil should be worn attached to a headpiece, such as a tiara. And don't forget the blue garter under the gown!
