Any Civil Dress Attire Suggestions?

Omelia, on January 25, 2023 at 4:47 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 22

I really do not want to wear a gown. I am wanting more of an elegant, sophisticated look with a hat. Attached is what I have in mind, but where do I shop for dresses like this?

    Definitely a great look!! Just Google short wedding dresses. I'm wearing a green dress from City Chic.

    BHLDN is a good suggestion. They have a little white dresses frequently. I would also suggest checking out non-bridal places, such as Nordstrom, Saks, Asos, etc. Also try googling “little white dress”. There is also the option of having a dress made. FH and I are eloping and having a civil ceremony as well. I have been on the hunt for the perfect dress for months and have been unsuccessful in finding exactly what I want. So I am having my perfect dress made for me.

    The picture looks like she added a topper over a dress. Etsy has a few custom toppers. Not sure if you'll wear a shade of white or ivory, but there are also a variety of wedding suits or short dresses you can add a birdcage or other custom hat: WW Bridal suits; Short wedding dresses. I would also not count out department stores for that silhouette: Bergdorf, Saks, Nordstrom, Asos. Last, you can have something made even a lace jacket and chapeau. Good luck

    The topper in the photo was already mentioned, but the dress fabric underneath it is satin if that helps your search

    The hat is a boater hat with a birdcage veil. You can get them on Etsy and someone on etsy can probably make you that dress for an affordable price.

    That is a beautiful look. Typically you can call bridal boutiques in the area and ask if they have any dresses like that in their inventory. If they do then you can make an appointment and check it out. Also it would help make the appointment go faster in general.

    My pleasure. They have short gowns and or dresses and you can style it to fit your own taste.

    That is a beautiful look and you can rock that. I would say Google is always your best friend, just say what your looking for and all types of stores will pop up. Also Amazon and Etsy, oh, and Pintrest is a great place to look as well. Good luck.
