Planning an Informal Wedding

By Jenna Landers

When you are planning on getting married, you can't help but be excited at the thought of the day, when your fianc and you walk down the aisle and are pronounced husband and wife. You will be starting your adventure through marriage along with your spouse.

In this world now, people spend mega bucks having the perfect wedding day. At this point the focal point is the ceremony not the marriage, and this starts couples off in debt many times, even before the "I Do" is said.

You can decide a different route though. It is possible to have your wedding be a very special event, where you say your vows to God in front of family and friends, without being buried in debt in the process. You have decided to do the wise choice of having an informal wedding with a wedding dress that is also informal along with a less formal setting.

Finding the Perfect Informal Wedding Dress

In this society we live in today, it will be a large job trying to find an informal wedding dress. Styles for wedding dresses usually fall along the lines of elegant, ornate, formal, or maybe one of a kind design. Not many people desire an informal wedding dress, which means the stores do not cater to people looking for that kind of dress, which also means less choices. Drop the traditional way of thinking about wedding dresses though and you may be able to find an informal one.

You may want to go shopping during prom season (spring) to find an informal wedding dress, or maybe homecoming time (fall) is a better time for the color tones you would use, along with the sale prices that are available. You can also shop at the major brand named stores to see what they offer in their selection of dresses. The price of these dresses may be right, but they may still be a bit on the formal side for you. Besides the array of styles that homecoming and formal dresses come in, there are many other types of dresses that are informal that you can wear for your wedding. Now if you aren't going to wear white you will have a much simpler time shopping for your informal wedding dress even in the department stores, but you will also be able to find some white too though.

Informal Wedding Planning

The informal style of wedding is fairly simple to prepare for. You can even hold it in a garden, or backyard. A state or local park or even a beach are other ideas for locations. You will still receive wedding gifts no matter what kind of wedding you have. Sign up family and friends to assist you by bringing food or beverages, and soon you will have your informal wedding and be wearing your informal wedding dress too! - 15437
