Now, what if you are a bride who absolutely loves the fairytale wedding, Prince Charming, happily-ever-after idea but don’t quite have as many millions (or billions) as those royals? Fear not! Semiformal can still make you feel like a princess bride! [Actually, between you and us, all brides should feel like princesses on their wedding day! Should and can!]

For those brides who may want to save their money for something else after the wedding, here is how a semiformal Princess Bride typically looks:

• Floor-length gown either with an (at most) elbow-length veil or none at all
• Headpiece optional
• Jewelry and gloves a must (or at least preferred)
• For evening weddings, the bride can choose among floor-, tea-, or ballerina-length wedding dresses

Everyone tells you the you need to diet and workout to fit into your dream wedding gown. While that is usually true, be careful not to over do it.

When polling the bridal boutiques and designers that we have worked with in the past, the biggest problems they encounter are with brides who diet and workout. Surprising, we know. It makes sense though because brides are the ones who are expected to look absolutely stunning, so it would of course make sense that brides would be frantic to, well, look absolutely stunning. That of course involves dieting, working out and usually, unintentionally, stressing out about it all. That’s why it seems so much easier for mothers of the bride and groom and the bridal party to fit perfectly into their gowns. They don’t worry like a bride does!
