Tips for Choosing a More Comfortable Wedding Dress
Now that you know some of the reasons why gowns are heavy, let’s discuss how to choose a lightweight wedding dress that you are comfortable wearing. First, you’ll want to opt for a lightweight fabric that is easy to move around in. These materials may include charmeuse, chiffon, organza, georgette, shantung, taffeta, tulle, and others.
Second, skipping tons of beading and other embellishments might be wise. Certain dresses, like a grand ball gown, are known for having a lot of beads and leaning toward the heavier side. With less intricate detailing, your dress will be a lot lighter. Plus, skipping beading or other embellishments will bring down the cost of the gown, as well.
Finally, consider forgoing a long train, since they can add quite a bit of length to your gown, making it heavier. There are many train options that are shorter or made with lightweight fabrics, ultimately making your dress easier to move around in. If you are thinking about wearing a long train for your wedding ceremony but want to be more comfortable during the reception afterward, you can also add a bustle to help you easily tie up the gown.
Your wedding day is meant to be a big moment, and you’ll want to be as comfortable as possible as you walk toward your future spouse. With lighter materials and less intricate detailing, it can be a lot easier to find a gown you love that doesn’t weigh you down.
