What about this dress for a cathedral wedding

Private User, on May 8, 2013 at 3:35 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6

Wedding dress shopping has been long process for me. I have tried what seems like a thousand dresses, brought two wedding dresses, and hated them both. They are both satin, plain A-lines and I am starting to grow of the A-line look.

At the beginning, I wanted to wear a flowy wedding dress. I should of listen to myself instead of buying a dress because of its low price. I started looking around (yet again) for wedding dresses. I am starting to adore chiffon style with a chapel train. I am having an extremely formal but small ceremony in a cathedral. And I fall in love with this dress at my first sight.

but I don't know if it is appropriate for this type of ceremony. I read most people wear these kind of dresses for beach weddings, but some managed to pull it off at more formal settings. But Im not sure if I can pull it off in a huge church. Is it possible to look too casual or beachy in a cat

    Of course you can pull it off! She looks super beachy because of how she's styled. I would say try an updo to add some formality, more formal jewellery, if you are planning on wearing a veil that might help too.'i think the dress is beautiful.

    That dress is pretty, but if you are visualizing one kind of wedding, an extremely formal cathedral wedding, I am not sure it is going to go with your vision.

    I had the opposite problem - I wanted a very simple dress but I was looking at stuff that was too much, and I started to get confused.

    I thought you wanted a chapel train? I can't imagine this one with any kind of train. I think you can do a chiffon dress, but maybe one with a fuller skirt and a train. It is a lovely dress, though.

    Top it with a matilla cathedral veil and it should be fine. Cathedras are sort grandios and you don't want to location to overshadow you walking down the aisle. I guess that's why folks go for the Cinderella type dresses. Just try a long veil and you could get the best of both worlds.

    I can honestly say I never thought about my dress coordinating with the venue. We got the church we wanted and I picked a dress I loved.
