For the most part, the selection of your wedding date and time and the selection of your ceremony/reception site sets into motion a series of events that impacts your gown style decision. Consider the formality of your wedding first when selecting a style.
Will your wedding be a 2:00 in the afternoon on a summer day with small garden reception afterwards? Or will it be an evening affair with a sit down, four course meal? The reception starting time will give guests an indication of what to expect for the food functions and formality of the wedding. Generally, the more formal the wedding, the more formal the bride’s attire. And keep the season of your wedding in mind, since some fabrics may be too heavy or too light for certain times of the year.
In addition, some churches and synagogues have dress code restrictions on the proper attire for bride and groom. You may want to ask your place of worship for any guidelines. Remember you can always accessorize with a cute jacket or sash to make sure you follow the dress code for your venue, and then take it off to dance the night away at your reception.
