Too casual?

Swin., on March 25, 2016 at 1:54 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 18

So, I bought this dress for my summer wedding. I was super worried it is too casual but I just found these photos of someone in the same dress. Do yall think it is okay for a June evening wedding? Thanks!

    I think it's beautiful! You'll be able to make it look more formal depending on your hairstyle and accessories, if you want. But it's really gorgeous.

    Super cute! Where are you getting married? I'm assuming in one of the churches, but what about the reception?

    I think it's beautiful. I wore a very simple gown!

    ETA: No regrets, my wedding was in FL. My dress was almost the weight of a nightgown. Win!

    To me it's not formal enough. These don't scream wedding to me it looks more like a styled shoot. But if you're going for a very casual laid back intimate wedding then it's very pretty. If you're doing a full out reception with a bunch of guests I would do something more formal.

    Wear the dress you want! And the one that makes you feel most beautiful/comfortable! It doesn't have to always be a formal dress. Smiley smile

    I love the detail on the sleeves. I think you can make it more glam or casual based on your shoes/hair/makeup.

    I love it. I think there is something beautiful in dresses/accessories/fashion in general that is quiet and understated. I think it's just really dignified and refined looking. Then the details and flowy cut make it fun and personalized. I think it's great for a summer wedding. Is your FH wearing a suit (not a tux, I think a tux next to it would be too formal).

    ETA: What's your venue? I think that also plays a role in it too. You don't want a dress that is too "formal" for it's venue or vice versa.

    I think if you love it and feel beautiful in it then you should go for it. If you're uncertain because of the formality, then yes, your venue should help to dictate how formal to go with the dress.

    The venue is just this little cottage-like place. Our whole wedding is just very lush and green. Mostly eucalyptus and stuff like that. We are having a dinner but nothing crazy fancy. No one will be wearing tux. FH will probably be the only one with a suit coat (as in the other members of the wedding party are just in slacks and the women in summer dresses).

    Thanks guys! I've never been one that was super flashy and so I wanted something just beautiful and easy. Plus, sleeves were a necessity for my wedding!

    I think its very pretty Smiley smile It doesnt scream wedding, and she doesnt look very much like a bride in those photos, but that doesnt really matter. You will surely look like a bride when you are a bride on your big day! For the setting you describe, it looks perfect Smiley smile

    I think it is perfect for a beach or garden wedding. Although those pics look like they were taken in a prison, LOL!
