Informal Wedding Dresses

Not everyone likes a grand wedding or an elaborate affair to mark his or her special day. Some couples prefer a quiet, low-key ceremony enjoyed only with near and dear ones. If you fall into this category you will no doubt want a simple yet beautiful wedding dress to wear to your day.

Informal wedding dresses do not have to signify a less special or less spectacular than usual one. If you are the kind who likes an understated look and believe in minimalist enjoyment or you're working on a budget, you can choose from a host of ideas for an informal dress without compromising on your personal style or elegance.

There are a number of informal styles such as beach dresses, sundresses, traditional gowns and party-wear.

The first mark of an informal dress is the minimal adornment on it. There should be only token beading, pearls, sequins and lace on the dress. Only some basic embellishments should be used to highlight the cut of the dress.

Informal dresses can be made using regular fabrics such as cotton or linen. One can also use traditional silks and satin.

Informal wedding dresses differ from the formal ones in terms of length. These are usually shorter, with knee-length or calf-length styles being the most popular.

These dresses usually have a restrained skirt, more free-flowing and less full and structured. It is the archetypical gowns that have the billowing princess-style hoop skirts. Informal dresses have skirts that usually skim the body curves and have minimal radius.

In an informal dress the train is usually only a token element. Most brides opt for a very short one and a light veil.

When it comes to choosing an informal wedding dress you can experiment with the color and pick up patterns and prints that step away from the traditional ivory.
