What Make A Wedding Gown The Best Choice For A Destination Wedding?

So what type of dress do most brides tend to pick?

Destination wedding gowns tend to be less formal which means..

short or no train
slimmer silhouette
less fussy fabric
simplistic in design

This makes it easier to travel with and less prep would be needed for the gown since some destinations may not have the amenities you need to have the gown professionally pressed or steamed.

It's best to stay away from fabrics that wrinkle easily or grab, like satin, taffeta and tulle net fabrics.

The best fabrics for your gown are made of man-made fibers like polyester, and spandex in satin, crepe, chiffon and laces. Tulle fabric can work if you don't have a very full gown. Natural fabrics like silk and cotton wrinkle easily.

The Dessy Group have informal wedding dresses that are perfect to use for your destination wedding gown which are priced under $500!
