Today, there is a demand for light wedding dresses that allow the bride to feel relaxed and comfortable at the ceremony. A simple outfit emphasizes youth, innocence, and no detail of the image will be superfluous or inappropriate.
Styles and varieties

Designers and fashion designers create real masterpieces using the most delicate airy fabrics and trim. Simple cut favorably emphasizes a slender figure, embodies elegance, sophistication, aristocracy. The outfit should harmoniously complement the delicate image and harmonize with the atmosphere of the holiday. The main types and styles of light dresses:

- The Mermaid style is the perfect silhouette for a bride. The model decorates itself, so it does not need any frills. Laconic drapery on the chest and a small bow decorating the skirt are allowed.
- The A-line silhouette suits any figure, as it can easily disguise small imperfections. The emphasis is on a full skirt made of rich fabrics.
Models such as Baby Doll and Baroque cannot be classified as light wedding dresses, as they are characterized by a contrasting palette, rich shades, and a large number of decorations. Models in the retro, boho, vintage, rustic, and Provence styles can be called simple if they are sewn from light fabrics without abundant decor and drapery. Cascading options with skirts made of multi-layered tulle look interesting. The dress is short in the front and long in the back, which gives the image fragility and charm.
Long
Long dresses are classic wedding looks, possessing a special solemnity and elegance. To decorate the models, you can use brooches, belts, light lace and other unobtrusive accessories. A bright option is the mermaid style with a flared skirt and train. Advantages of long models:

The versatility of long dresses allows them to be worn at ceremonies in cooler weather. The bride will feel comfortable in a dress with long sleeves under an elegant fur cape.
Short
Last season's wedding fashion was more revealing, but now simplicity, conciseness and restraint have replaced open dresses. Hand embroidery is allowed, which is considered the standard for the design of a light wedding dress. Famous fashion designers work under the motto "the sophistication of simplicity", which can be clearly seen in the collections of Vera Wang and Anna Mayer. If the model is made with sleeves, then lace, silk and light tulle are used for sewing. A short light dress for a wedding is no less an interesting option than a floor-length model with a long train. What are the advantages of the image:
- It perfectly highlights the bride's slender legs.
- Adds a touch of coquetry and rebellion to the image.
- Perfectly matches with a veil, hat and gloves.
- Looks impressive with the use of lace and tulle.
- You can combine fabrics with different textures.
Somewhat unusual, but very elegant are brides in midi dresses with a sheath silhouette. The emphasis is on the decoration of the back. When choosing a suitable model, you need to take into account the features of the figure, the color type of the bride and even the format of the ceremony. The wedding dress should harmoniously fit into the atmosphere of the ceremony so that the newlyweds are beautifully captured in wedding photographs and video footage.
Suitable material and decoration options
Simple dresses are sewn from light fabrics to avoid excessive splendor of the outfit. Decorations are practically excluded, the laconic style should be traced in everything, but you can experiment with the color scheme. Fabric options:
- Chiffon – has amazing airiness and lightness. The material drapes well, holds its shape, and does not restrict movement.
- Lace sets the tone for the entire outfit, looks luxurious, rich, harmonizes with different fabrics, and is distinguished by its special sophistication.
- Satin is a shiny material, it shimmers delightfully in the light, has a rich structure, and is suitable for ceremonies at any time of the year.
- Guipure – has beautiful openwork patterns, softly hugs the figure. Often used to decorate wedding dresses.
- Silk is a fabric with a pleasant sheen, has elegance, and is ideal for celebrations.
Designers sew collections from satin, which emphasizes the waist without a corset, spectacular organza, elegant tulle. Lace, hand embroidery, delicate mesh, guipure inserts are used to decorate wedding models. Floral decor looks very attractive in outfits.
If the wedding is planned for summer or spring, preference is given to low-cut airy models. For autumn weather, styles with floor-length sleeves or with an asymmetrical skirt cut are chosen, complementing the outfit with a cape, cape or bolero. For winter ceremonies, dresses are sewn from crepe, satin, brocade, emphasizing the style with fur trim, fluffy mantles, elegant muffs.
Color scheme
The classic color of a wedding dress is white, but modern fashion has moved away from strict rules. Therefore, for the ceremony, the bride can choose a model of any shade. Bold girls dress in spectacular red outfits, burgundy or blue options. Brides who are not ready for such experiments can take a closer look at the following options:
- Pale pink - innocence.
- Ash rose – elegance.
- Champagne – warmth and tenderness.
- Pleasant light green – freshness.
- Mint, turquoise – sophistication.
- Muted pink – modesty.
- Pistachio - charm and charisma.
- Soft blue – romance.
- Bright orange – cheerfulness.
- Rich yellow – energy.
- Scarlet, crimson – passion.
- Cornflower blue, indigo – fidelity.
Pure white is considered a very difficult color for a wedding dress. Even professional photographers find it difficult to convey its beauty. You can deviate a little from the accepted traditions and choose shades of white - milky, platinum, cream, beige, ivory, creme brulee. The veil should strictly match the white dress, otherwise the shade will turn out grayish.
Features of Themed Dresses
The bride chooses an outfit depending on the format of the special event. If the ceremony takes place outdoors, Greek and boho style models look relevant. A wedding dress with rich rhinestones, stones, and lace will look out of place. For a wedding outdoors, especially in the spring, simple models with floral decor are suitable.
A beach wedding requires the bride to wear a simple model made of the lightest chiffon, gauze and fine lace. But the fabric should hold its shape well so that the bride's outfit retains its freshness and pristine appearance for a long time. A train is not needed - it will ruin the whole effect. It is important that the outfit does not restrict the bride's movements. Airy crinoline dresses hold their shape well, they look equally relevant in the mountains, on the beach, in a castle, in a church.
If a retro-style themed ceremony or a wedding based on a movie script is planned, the outfit should strictly correspond to the chosen image.
For example, it will not work to stage the play "Eugene Onegin" according to the script, because heavy, lush outfits are typical for that era. Light dresses are ideal for outdoor ceremonies on the riverbank, at the sea, in the mountains or in an ancient castle. The bride's outfit attracts the attention of the guests, so the dress must be impeccable.
