Are you in the market for a dress but feeling overwhelmed by all the options? Looking for the perfect dress can be daunting, especially when considering style, budget, and occasion. But does it have to be a white dress? And if so, do you have to conform to tradition and colors? 


These are just a few questions you may have racing through your mind. And if you're nontraditional, finding a dress that fits your unique style and preferences can be even more challenging. 


After all, the typical white wedding dress is not for everyone. But fear not because there are options, so let's unlock them. In this blog post, we will explore a few alternatives to a wedding dress, why it does not necessarily have to be a white dress or a dress, and how to find a beautiful outfit for your wedding, no matter how nontraditional. So buckle up and get ready to unlock a world of possibilities beyond the typical white dress.



TL;DR

Things to keep in mind before dress shopping:

  • Consider your style and preferences: Think of a dress that reflects your personality and makes you feel beautiful. Do you prefer a classic, elegant gown or a more modern and unique style? 
  • Consider the theme and venue of your wedding: The dress you choose should complement the overall theme and wedding. For example, if you're having a beach wedding, you might opt for a lightweight and flowy dress; with a formal ballroom wedding, this will call for a more traditional and glamorous gown. 
  • Consider your body type HERE: Choose a dress that flatters your figure and highlights your best features. If you have a pear-shaped body, go with a style that cinches at the waist and flares at the hips. Find your body type HERE.
  • Consider your budget: Set a realistic budget for your wedding dress and stick to it. Many options are available at different prices, so don't feel pressured.
