I, for one am not a girl to wear a full length pretty wedding gown. I don’t wear dresses and rarely wear a skirt, so why would I want to wear a dress to get married in.

So think about what you wear.

The typical dress that we think of when someone mentions wedding gowns, is white full length with or without a train trailing behind. We also tend to think of beautiful flowers, lace, embroidery…. But this style may not be for you.

Today it is just as acceptable to wear a colored dress as it is to wear white. The modern bride may also consider wearing a tea length style rather than a full length wedding gown. It is even acceptable to wear a suit or trousers. If you are a plus size bride, or even an older bride, you may prefer to wear a simple tea-length style dress to show off shapely legs whilst hiding any excess pounds you carry on your upper body. A simple shape with a lace jacket can look particularly stunning.

If like me you, you want to hide your legs and don’t like skirts, wear trousers. A simple classical suit in white can look amazing with a corsage of flowers on the lapel. You don’t have to feel you are copying the boys, why not wear a corset underneath if you are happy to show off a little cleavage and flesh.
