Casual Wedding Attire Styles

There’s no shortage of options when it comes to styles for casual wedding attire. There are more whimsical styles like full-skirted midi dresses and cocktail dresses, or more timeless ones like satin or silk dresses with a sleeker silhouette. For more adventurous weddings, smaller more casual gowns can be easier to pack up for the beach or the hike to a mountain top. You can even choose to bypass the dress entirely and opt for a chic bridal jumpsuit or matching set. 

The Perks of a Casual Wedding Dress 

Going casual with your wedding dress or bridal attire gives you extra leeway to go big with your bridal accessories. A cocktail wedding dress or short wedding dress allows you to put more emphasis on your bridal shoes since they’ll be extra visible on your wedding day. Picking the perfect veil to complement your casual dress can make you a truly standout bride in a style that is still appropriate for a courthouse wedding. Sashes, jewelry, and capelets are also fun and easy ways to spruce up a more casual style. As an added bonus, more casual wedding dresses can be significantly less expensive.
