Who said it has to be a dress? It might be worth considering the option to wear a bridal skirt and a top. It’s trendy, it’s comfy and it’s also a sustainable option as most likely you can wear each of the pieces again separately. The most popular materials you will find are tulle and chiffon, which give a romantic feel perfect for your small ceremony. If this is the look you are considering you also have a greater choice of color, as you can easily find bridal skirts in peachy, pinky or blueish shades. If you want to add some glamour, you can also think about a sequence crop top or a tight-fitted silk corset. For the bohemian style fans, you can choose a lace top and a flowy skirt.

If you’ve settled for a smaller venue and a more intimate ceremony, usually a smaller dress will suit it best. You will have plenty of choices, some of which are very economical if you are willing to play with the length. There are gorgeous white midi-dresses which can make you look more casual, yet elegant and modern. Depending on your style, you can explore the satin bodycon look or go for an embroidered lace style. If your settings have more of a party vibe, you can even consider a mini-dress.

Maybe the downsizing of your guestlist made you grow out of the idea of wearing a dress on your big day. That’s where the jumpsuit comes into the rescue. Even with this choice, you are not limited to one style. There are an array of choices to suit your preference. For the minimalistic souls, the silky v-neck high split leg or an off the shoulder cut could do the magic. For those who like extravagance, there are options with more details such as belts, feathers and sequence or sparkly materials.
