Is this wedding dress too fancy for my "casual" wedding?
I am planning a very casual outdoor wedding in a local park. Invitations will be "e-vite"; my bouquet will be from Vons; the guys are wearing suits, not tuxes; the picnic tables will be decorated with 99c tablecloths from Walmart, $10 potted plants from Home Depot & a plant pot filled with $2 Trader Joe's wine; the cake will be 2 sheet cakes from Costco (we could change this to a "real" one). Otherwise, we'll have it catered (buffet, luau style food) and have a DJ and covered dance floor. I had originally picked this dress: http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridal_gowns_detail.jsp?stid=3201&prodgroup=210 which fits with the overall theme because it's casual. But now I've got my heart set on this one: http://www.1koo.com/wedding/itemdetail.asp?itemid=HSB0337 (scroll down the page for the best picture). Do you think the second dress (my favorite) makes the rest of the wedding seem too casual? Thanks so much for your help!
I really like the second one a lot. It's true that you should take the location and style into account when picking your dress...I went to a wedding where the dress was significantly fancier than the rest of the reception and the train even looked a little too long for the length of the aisle. But, ultimately, we all knew that the bride wanted the dress of her dreams and it wasn't all that much more expensive than a "casual" dress -- so why not have something a little more formal for just this one part of the wedding?
Since yours doesn't have a train, I think it would be appropriate for even a casual wedding. It's fancier, but really not too much fancier than the other one.
Ask others involved what they think -- your mom, your bridesmaid(s), even your fiance if you're okay with him seeing it...
It sounds from your description of the other wedding events as though price might also be a consideration. Which one is less expensive? Think hard about whether the price of either is going to limit your finances for other parts of your wedding.
I think both are lovely, but personally I'd go with the second as long as the prices are comparable and you check with a family member or two to see what they think regarding the possible clash in formality.
