Non Traditional Wedding Dresses

 

-- Non Traditional Wedding Dresses --





Not interested in wearing a traditional, white wedding dress? No worries! For today’s modern bride, there are many non-traditional versions of the wedding gown!

You can be completely non-traditional and show up to your wedding day in an unconventional outfit like a black dress, or you can just add a few contemporary touches to make your gown unique. Remember to check with the ceremony venue and officiator before arriving in anything too risqué!




Top Tip!

Before you buy anything online, be sure to check out the wedding dresses being offered on eBay. You can often find new or lightly used dresses at a fraction of what they cost in stores:





Suit Yourself!

For a classic look, you may wish to wear an elegant white or cream colored pantsuit to your big day. Look for a suit made of silk or a soft cashmere blend. If you’re not comfortable wearing a dress or have found a pantsuit you love, this can be a beautiful alternative to the traditional gown. Or, wear a formal skirt and jacket suit. Pair it with a veil to look movie-star chic.



















Sexy Siren

There’s no reason you need play demure on your wedding day if you’re more comfortable showing off your assets! Wear something that’s cut short and sweet to show off your legs, or opt for something sultry and sexy in an unconventional fabric! You’ll be the star of the show, and your groom won’t be able to take his eyes off you! Having a beach wedding? Wear a white bikini with a beautiful white scarf, which will flutter in the wind as you say your vows.

Color: A New Classic

If you’re not a huge fan of the color white, don’t feel like you need to wear it on your wedding day in order to say “I do.” You can wear any color you like! Pastels are beautiful in the spring time, or choose a dark hue like red, burgundy or black. You can also add sudden bursts of color to an otherwise traditional white dress for a modern twist. Think black edging, bright sashes, and colorful embroidery.


Theme Dress

If you’ve spent months cultivating the perfect theme for your wedding day, consider going all out and showing off your commitment in a wildly themed wedding dress! Patterned dresses like camo-inspired gowns are becoming increasingly popular. If you’re hosting a renaissance-themed wedding, head to a local costume shop for your gown. You’ll be the belle of the ball – and you probably won’t need to spend as much to get the dress of your dreams!


Avoid the Bridal Boutiques

For a truly unique and untraditional dress, you’ll want to leave the bridal boutiques out! Head to vintage shops, dressmakers, fashion designers, or non-bridal retail outlets to find the perfect dress. It doesn’t have to be sold as a wedding dress to be a wedding dress.

Enchanted Vixen

For a romantic and non-traditional feel on your wedding day, go with a goddess like fairy dress. You’ll look like a dream-come-true in layers of ethereal chiffon or eco-friendly hemp. For an ultra different look, add a pair of artistic wings to your outfit.


Gothic or Punk

If piercings, tattoos and leather are more your style, don’t feel like you have to tone your look down for your wedding day! Do just the opposite – dress it up! After all, it’s a celebration of you and the love of your life, so you shouldn’t feel the need to change your image! Choose a black wedding dress, or adorn one yourself with personal touches to make it uniquely yours!

Whatever your ideas are, there is a dress out there to suit your style! Add non-traditional embellishments to a classic dress or create your own customized creation that’s never been seen before! Enjoy your day – and create your own traditions!
