Casual Wedding Dresses: Dare to Be Different

A really hot trend in the marriage industry currently is casual wedding dresses. Many brides have been leaning more toward the less formal dresses rather than the Victorian era dresses. It is becoming increasingly common to wear pastel colors such as pinks, greens and lavenders, as was popular many years ago. But know that when you choose casual wedding dresses, the sky is the limit and you can do anything you want to.

The popularity of casual wedding dresses means that they can be found in many places now. Many bridal stores are carrying informal gowns. And besides the many sources on the Internet, you always have the option of making your own wedding dress, of course.

Regardless of where you shop for casual wedding dresses, keep in mind that if you want a theme wedding you'll need to look for a very specific sort of wedding dress. Think about what sort of clothing you would wear to another type of event with a similar theme. As an example, if you were to choose an English Royalty theme for your wedding you would want your dress to be quite formal. But if nature is going to be highlighted in your wedding plans, you may want to purchase a less formal dress.

Following are a few ideas for themes that would work well with casual wedding dresses:

Casual wedding dresses would fit right in with a Western-themed wedding. A formal wedding gown would be out of place at a country themed wedding, be it a small back yard party or a large outdoor barbeque celebration.

A garden wedding is an idyllic alternative that calls for a casual wedding dress. Chic summer fashions are a good choice for this type of ceremony.

If you're going with a fun theme that shows your love for dogs, casual wedding dresses are almost a requirement. Your canine theme could be inspired by your own four-legged family members, or a beloved Disney film. Inspiration is all around for your critter-friendly theme; and if you are a feline fanatic, let your cat inspire you!

Beach weddings work great for an informal style wedding ceremony. A strapless or halter dress is a terrific choice for this type of wedding.

There are really quite a few wedding themes that would lend themselves to wearing a romantic wedding dress that is still comfortable and casual. You can use a romantic Hollywood film for your inspiration, and adapt it to your own style. But decide on the theme for your wedding first - then you'll know what kind of casual wedding dresses you should begin shopping for.

Fits great. Even though the girl in the video is much taller than I am, I am 5'3", this dress hits just above my knee and is quite a classy look for a wedding I am going to in Sept. I weigh about 120 lbs and have a 36C chest. Just a bit tight cross the top but the small is just fine, to exchange for a medium would make the dress longer and looser. A great buy. I am totally satisfied.

Very Flattering

I bought this to wear to a wedding in July. I thought it may be too casual but, I was wrong it is very flattering and perfect as a guest to a wedding. I have a pair of Vince Camuto Blue/Silver open toe pumps that I have never worn and this dress matches them perfectly.

Perfect event dress

Perfect event dress. The length is sexy and the cut is super comfortable. Add great heels and because the length is somewhat short, i think it has great sex appeal.

Beautiful flowing dress, very comfortable and fits nicely, I am petite at 5'1" so might be too short on someone taller though.

Size 11

By Hezakiya on August 31, 2014

It's uncomfortable and hurts my foot but if it was made in my size, I wouldn't have to wear a size that doesn't fit now, would I. Start a trend and make the good ones in all sizes for all people.
