Long dress, outdoor ceremony

People do it all the time. Even in tropical locations, brides wore heavy gown because they chose them, and there is no rule. If you love it, do it. That dress is pretty, and for that price it’s a great deal!

Oh, there are an anti-sweat over the counter you could try before your day.

View Quoted Comment Okay, cool. Thanks!

The plus is it has short sleeves. Women wear long dresses all the time to marry in outdoors even in summer. Long dresses are associated with getting married and many don't feel that short dresses are formal enough for a wedding. Do what works for you.


To keep cool, try a hoop skirt crinoline to keep the dress off your legs. Also aerosol antiperspirants such as Dove are heavy duty.

View Quoted Comment Wow, thanks Michelle! I hadn't considered wearing a hoop skirt crinoline slip underneath. Thanks for the tip!

I had an outdoor ceremony with a long gown and it will get dirty but it is what it is aha you can always dry clean it after at least

View Quoted Comment Haha, I figured. Oh well. 🤷‍♀️ I'm only wearing it once! I do plan on saving it for my future daughter though (not pregnant btw 😅) so I will be sure to have it cleaned after the big day.

Agree! That’s a steal for that dress!

View Quoted Comment Oh, it's THE ONE 😍

I dont think it would be an issue.

If that's the look you want then go for it, it's your big day.

View Quoted Comment It's the one FOR SURE 😀

That dress is SO gorgeous!

Like everyone else said, wear what you want! I bought a Spring collection dress for an October wedding in the midwest, when it's usually quite cold, but I didn't care. It ended up being a beautiful day, and we actually got quite hot at one point when taking pictures!

(I also went with a spray-on deodorant that worked wonders!)

View Quoted Comment I might steal your spray-on deodorant idea. With the good chances of it being hot outside, I want to curb potential body odor as much as possible.

Long dresses always appealed my attention.
