Less Than Formal Wedding

Trends for weddings are always varied.  The bride and groom should make the day whatever they envision.  If the dream wedding is formal attire for everyone, so be it.  But I know plenty of couples who are opting for the less than formal wedding. 

So I have found some great gowns that fit this style of wedding.  These gowns are usually considered Informal gowns from bridal designers.  They are made from the same luxurious fabrics as other wedding gowns.  The difference is in the amount of fabric in the skirt or train and sometimes the amount of bling on the gown.  This allows for the bride to "feel" like a bride but be a little less formal.

My favorite designer for these gowns is P.C. Mary's.  Here are a few gowns we have in the store from their Informal line.

The gown on the left is a chiffon gown with a lace up back.  Straps and sleeves seem to be more popular for the 2014 wedding season. 

The gown on the right is a taffeta fit and flare with a lace up back.  Both gowns are available in sizes 2-30.

The gown on the right is a silky charmeuse dropped waist with a zipper back.  Both gowns are available in sizes 2-30.

For the brides wanting more bling, these two gowns will be your favorites.  The gown on the left is a silky satin with a tulle overlay on the skirt. The gown on the right is an extra full ball gown.  The bodice is heavily beaded.  It is available in white or champagne as shown. Both gowns are available in sizes 2-30.  Gowns from Mary's will average 10-12 weeks for delivery.  They also carry a large supply in stock for quicker wear dates.

Next I will start working on a blog to coordinate all the others in your wedding party with your informal gown and theme.
