How to create casual wedding dresses?

Looking effortlessly chic can take some effort, therefore we spoke to a wedding consultant, stylist, and former fashion editor at FeelTimes to obtain her expert tips about making a casual wedding gown work perfectly for the wedding day.

Where's where to shop for any casual wedding gown?

"If you wince at the idea of being the center of attention and wish to be a bit more low-key but bridal, my suggestion is always to start your shopping in the comfort of your sofa. Try these online shops, order a number of your favorites and hang aside each day with a trusted friend or mum around, open the boxes and take the time to try them up with no pressure."

"A large number of bridal boutiques now cater for that off-the-peg bride searching for a more casual look too. feeltimes comes with an off the peg collection for that no-fuss bride, with lots of their usual fabulous styles, easy-to-wear shapes, and lovely lace. You may want to consider a great trouser suit, they work particularly well having a short veil, a cream fascinator, or perhaps a headband to include that bridal touch. One of my favorite looks for an informal wedding is a blouse and skirt combination having a simple set of earrings."

What are you able to do to a classic wedding gown to make it look more relaxed?

"If you've purchased a big dress and therefore are having regrets, you'll be able to dress it down. If you're a trainer person stick to having a box-fresh set of wedding trainers or ditch the high heels and dance the night time away in a set of flat pumps or sandals. Don't get a long veil, instead consider using a couple of hair clips, an Alice band, a fascinator, or perhaps a velvet bow."

Are there certain fabrics or shapes of dresses that appear to be more casual?

"Of course, short and tea-length dresses will always be a little more casual than the usual huge gown and simpler to wear. A lace wedding gown can also be quite casual. FeelTimes uses lace having a touch of stretch in – they can make their dresses casual and bridal simultaneously."

"Anything that's not a very fitted shape automatically diminishes formal. A good A-line dress is easy to put on. Or locate a tiered, loose-fitting dress or perhaps a kaftan shape for any beach wedding or country event. For the minimalist bride, an easy slip dress in crepe could be 'bridal-ed' up having a veil, jacket, or shrug. Also choose cotton, linen, and linen mix dresses for summer weddings."
