Circumstances Need to Be Considered in Choosing Wedding Dresses

 A wide variety of factors can affect what makes a particular dress appropriate to the occasion.
   

• Formal ceremonies usually call for long prom dresses and long trains, while informal ceremonies (especially destination weddings) are a terrific place to wear a short wedding dresses without a train at all (or a "sweep" train, which just barely brushes the floor). Another example: in some cases, strapless wedding dresses are considered inappropriate for very formal ceremonies.
   
• If you're getting married in the winter, you may not want to be a very light, thin fabric unless you plan to be inside the entire time. If you're having a beach wedding in the middle of July, you may not want to wear a heavy fabric like duchess satin.
   
• While the most traditional ceremonies will call for a white gown, in many cases, wedding dresses don't have to be pure white anymore! Many women choose dress colors that best complement their skin tones, ranging from diamond white to ivory to champagne to actual colors (pink, blue, red). Pick the color you feel most beautiful in.
