Informal Wedding Dress
An informal wedding dress is an option. Many young girls dream of getting married in a formal wedding dress with all of the bridesmaids and groomsmen dressed up and her father walking her down the aisle. Today many women are unhappy with the idea of a formal affair and thus the need for an informal wedding dress appears. Men are choosing to forego the tuxedo for a simple business suit too. Garden weddings are on the rise while some couples choose to have the wedding and reception in the same place. The need for informal dresses is out there and designers do accommodate.
Is It Appropriate?
The type of informal wedding dress you choose will depend upon the rest of the wedding formality. Sometimes a wedding will have only the father of the bride and best man standing with the couple as they take their vows. Other couples may choose to have the full bridal party. Be sure that whoever is standing with you is dressed to make your informal wear. The setting also matters. For example, weddings on the beach are more common in many areas today and an informal wedding dress may be appropriate.
Shopping in the Local Store or Online Retailer
 |
In most cases you will find more of a selection of informal wedding dresses when you shop online. The reason this may occur is because many local stores still have not adapted to the changing trends in weddings and still provide for what they feel is the dress of choice for the majority of brides, and this may be true in many regions. Fortunately, within the online community, there are more people looking for informal wedding dresses and the retailers have the capacity to cater to the needs of a global community. |

Choosing the Right Length
 |
You may bounce around the idea of length but the informal wedding dress can fit into anyone's needs. Most brides choose this type of wedding dress because they are uncomfortable with the idea of wearing a long gown if they are getting married during the hot summer months, for example. A waltz length informal wedding dress will fit the bill perfectly. |
