Choose Wedding Dresses Based on Season


Choose Wedding Dresses Based on Season


It is always embarrassing to be shivering through your big day in a satin dress on a cold winter day! Therefore,it’s absolutely important to choose a seasonal wedding dress.

Don’t underestimate the importance of being comfortable on your wedding day. Regardless of where you’re having the ceremony and reception, you’ll want to choose a wedding dress that makes you feel good.




Spring
Depending on your location, you may still get some chilly days in the spring, so it’s best to use a mid-weight satin or cotton shell. If you tend to feel cold, it may still be best to buy a wedding dress with full sleeves. That said, it’s also important to plan for the temperature of your ceremony location. If you’re planning an outdoor spring wedding, you’ll definitely want to plan for temperature variations with a shawl or wrap. On the other hand, if your spring ceremony will be performed indoors, you’ll have more flexibility in choosing your fabric and dress style.

Summer
Regardless of whether you’re planning an indoor or outdoor wedding, you’ll want to choose a wedding dress that keeps you as cool as possible during a summer ceremony. Consider choosing a backless or strapless design made from a light fabric. If you have to have sleeves, consider using sheer fabrics or lace for this purpose. Nowadays, mini dresses are hot picks for modern brides. That said, if your reception is going to extend into the evening hours, you may want to have a small cape or shawl available in case you feel cold.

Fall
As with springtime weddings, it may be difficult to determine the best fabric and dress weight for a fall ceremony. Depending on where you live, you can probably still use a lightweight satin, lace overlays, and medium length sleeves. If you know that your region is cool by the time fall hits, consider a slightly heavier fabric or a dress with more coverage. It might also be helpful to ask about fabrics that won’t develop sweat stains in crucial areas. Alternatively, you may want to keep a small cape with you to cover these areas as needed.

Winter
If you’re planning to get married in the winter, you’ll need to consider how warm or cold the ceremony location will be. Invariably, if the room is crowded, it will feel warmer, so don’t go too heavy with your gown fabric selection. In addition, if you have a tendency to sweat when you’re nervous, it may still be to your benefit to choose a gown made from a lighter-weight material.

When you’re choosing a wedding dress, you may be so blinded by pretty decorations and gorgeous fabrics that you forget to consider your own comfort. The type of fabric you choose can have an enormous impact on how you look and feel throughout the day. For example, a dress that’s made of a lightweight fabric may leave you with goosebumps and mottled skin, while a dress that’s made from a heavier fabric may reveal sweat stains and red, flushed skin. Therefore, it’s crucial to take temperature and comfort into consideration when choosing your wedding dress.
