Wedding Dress Tips from David Tutera!
If you are getting married, you have a lot of planning ahead of you for your wedding. However, one of the most important decisions that you are going to make is on the wedding gown you wear on your big day. There are so many bridal wedding dresses to choose from, and it can get difficult to pick out the perfect dress. While you want to go with elegant wedding dresses, it's a good idea to think about the season you are getting married in when you are choosing your dress and doing other aspects of your wedding planning. With your dress and other wedding attire, keeping the season in mind can be very helpful and can keep you comfortable and looking great for your big day. Here is a look at some great ideas for every season that will help you choose your dress, whether you are getting married in the spring, summer, fall, or winter months.
Spring Wedding Attire Ideas
Are you planning to get married in the spring? If so, let the season inspire you as you look at bridal wedding dresses and other types of wedding attire for the wedding day. Look around outdoors to be inspired by colors as well. It's a great time of year to incorporate various floral elements as well. When it comes to choose elegant wedding dresses, you can feel free to be a bit relaxed, especially if you are going to have the wedding in an outdoor location. This is a great time to go with a casual wedding dress. Go with fabrics that are light and beautiful as well for a look that spells spring. Adding a splash of color to the wedding dress is a wonderful idea too. Consider having a sash in a bright spring color or have some beautiful colored embroidery done on the dress.
Of course, your wedding dress isn't the only part of attire to consider for the wedding. For your bridesmaids, consider going with pastel colors during the spring. Come up with one color and allow your bridesmaids to go with different designs or even different hues of the color for a beautiful springtime look. The guys will look great in suits that are tan colored, or you can go with black suits and colored shirts for a spring look.
Summer Wedding Attire Ideas
Many brides choose to get married in the summer months. Choosing the right bridal wedding dresses is especially important during the summer, especially with all the heat that you have to deal with. Brides will definitely want to go with dresses that are made out of light fabrics, such as chiffon, light silks, organdy, crepe, linen, and georgette. These materials make elegant wedding dresses, while still allowing you to be comfortable and cool on the big day. Keep the dress pretty simple in design as well. You probably don't want a voluminous dress, since that will only make you hot. Go with a sheath or a shift dress that is simple and beautiful for summer. Adding a bit of color to your dress in some way is also a great idea.
For the others in the bridal party, you want to ensure that they are kept cool too. For your bridesmaids, make sure that they have dresses that are made out of light materials too. Some popular dress styles that will do well in the summer for bridesmaid dresses include eyelet, linen, and seersucker. For the guys, let them go without the big tuxes if you are going to be outside so they don't melt during the ceremony.
Fall Wedding Attire Ideas
Fall is a beautiful time of year, and it's a great time to be a bride. The good thing is that it is often a bit cooler than the summer months, which allows you more options when it comes to choosing bridal wedding dresses. During the fall, choose elegant wedding dresses that have accents that are luxurious and rich textures as well. Going with a wedding gown that is off-white, ivory, or a cream color is a great idea and will accent some of the fall colors as well. Adding on some vintage or antique lace to the gown will add texture to the dress and look incredible with the rich fall colors as well. Just make sure you stay comfortable, since the temperatures can be chilly during the fall. If you have a strapless dress, make sure you have a stole, wrap, or a capelet to keep your warm.
For your bridesmaids, go with dresses that are in beautiful and rich textured fabrics. Great fabrics for this time of year include velvets, brocades, and damasks. For the colors, go with jewel tones or rich fall inspired tones for the dresses. The guys can go with full formal tuxes, and consider shirts or ties in those rich fall colors as well.
Winter Wedding Attire Ideas
During the winter, there are many considerations to keep in mind when selecting bridal wedding dresses. The weather is definitely one of the most important things to think about. You want to ensure that you have a dress that will keep your warm enough. This is definitely the time to go with glamorous and elegant wedding dresses. Choose fabrics that are rich and heavy, such as heavy silks, satins, brocades, and even velvet. If you have a dress that is strapless or a sleeveless wedding gown, have another layer to keep you warm, such as a cape, shrug, or wrap. Go with it in white or one of the other colors you are using in the wedding.
For the wedding party, it's a great idea to go with whites. This is the time of year where having the bridal party in white looks great. Winter whites for everyone will make the wedding look very chic and clean. Christmas colors are also a great choice for weddings in the winter months. Cool colors like cool blues and silvers are excellent choices as well.
