Choosing The Perfect
Wedding Dress for Abroad

There are no magical formulas or special rules when it comes to choosing a wedding dress for your wedding abroad.

I do believe however, by choosing to have your wedding abroad you have opened up even more possibilities for the type of wedding dress you can wear.

Choosing a wedding dress for abroad

Not only can you choose from the more traditional styles you can also go for a simple, sleek and sophisticated wedding dress that is completely designed around your chosen destination. With a wedding dress to wear abroad you have the opportunity to be a little more adventurous and creative.

There really are no boundaries with a wedding abroad. If you choose a wedding dress to wear abroad that suits your personality and the style of your wedding, there is no doubt you will look and feel sensational!

1) Don’t let the fact that you’re getting married abroad dictate your choice of dress

Choosing a wedding dress is a long awaited and highly emotional decision that should provide its own fond memories for you to treasure for years to come.

Make sure you choose a dress you love, one that will make you feel beautiful on what is a very special day. Don’t choose your wedding dress solely on the basis you are getting married abroad.

2) But remember you are getting married abroad

Okay, a contradictory statement but when choosing your wedding dress for abroad give a quick thought to the style of your wedding and how practical your wedding dress will be, both to transport and wear at your wedding destination.

A more traditional wedding dress may tie in beautifully with your surroundings if you are getting married in a French Chateau but a stylish knee length dress with bare feet may be perfect for a beach wedding. If you don’t care about practicality and just want to wear the dress of your dreams, I say go for it. Alternatively, think how comfortable you will be in your dress and the climate of the host country. You want to wear it effortlessly and easily, for it to feel perfect in every way.

The best person is speak with is your wedding dress shop or designer. They may be able to make some design alterations to make your wedding dress for abroad more practical and suggest fabrics that will suit the climate of your wedding destination.
