Tips for choosing a wedding outfit for civil ceremony

Before the bid and dashing event of the religious wedding, the organization of the civil wedding generally comes first. Though this event is simpler and more discrete, your outfit or dress still is main issue to take into account.


If you are just having a civil ceremony, then you can use a white outfit resembling a bridal gown, so you can have some of the romanticism and magic of the religious event.

If after your civil wedding you are going to have a dinner or lunch with music and dance, you may choose a more eye-catching design and lighter colors as pearl, champagne or ivory. As an additional touch, you can use a small bouquet to match your dress.

If you are having both ceremonies, and the civil union is just a few days before the religious one, you better go for simple outfit, as a two-piece or three-piece tailored-suit. As for the colors, we recommend you choosing pastel tones, so for the wedding gown you can choose white, ivory and pearl.

Finally, for civil ceremonies the most used are drapé dresses, strapless and reaching the knee. Coats with ¾ sleeves look good, you can use them with a dress line A or a tube dress. Cleavages may be round, square or in V. you may even opt for strips, too.

What counts is that you feel beautiful comfortable and satisfied with the civil wedding dress of your choice.
