Few Rules of Wedding Dress EtiquetteWedding Dress Etiquette Like everything else connected to your wedding, there are a few rules of etiquette regarding your wedding dress.
However many of the rules your mother may have faced no longer matter.
If you are being married in a house of worship, a min dress may not be appropriate. Nor would a strapless dress. However if you really fell in love with a strapless dress ask the shop if they sell shrugs or jackets that you can wear for the ceremony. Or maybe you could wear a shawl and use a nice pin to keep it closed.
A white gown or dress used to symbolize purity. Now it means joy, so any bride can white whether she has children or was married before. An older bride can also wear white no matter her age or previous marriages.
Also if you choose to wear a gown of ivory, pink or any other color, that is your right. Your mother, future mother-in-law or grandmother may tell you that “people will talk” if you wear anything other than white. Don’t feel that you have to cave in. My friend really loved an ivory gown, but her mother and her fiance’s mother caused such a fuss she got a white dress to shut them up.
Many designers are currently showing short wedding dresses. However, unless you are getting married in a hotel or Vegas wedding chapel, it is not a good idea to wear a really short dress.
You may have two receptions in each of your hometowns and wonder if it is OK. Many brides choose to wear a different dress at the second reception. However if you would prefer to wear your wedding gown at both, then do it.
As you can see there are few wedding dress etiquette rules about your wedding dress, so wear what makes you feel beautiful.
