Went into bridal store looking at vintage lace styles. Ended up with three finalists that look nothing like my original vision but are better on my body. The family favorite is a dramatic satin gown. Train, but more A-line than poofy ball gown. I havent committed, but need to decide soon because that particular dress is likely to be discontinued.
The stylist we spoke to suggested that lace and tulle gowns were better for daylight and that evening weddings brought out the best in satin. We have been contemplating a late afternoon ceremony going into an evening reception.
Can I get away with a satin dress if the ceremony is going to be outdoors? Would it look weird if we ended up choosing an earlier start time, like 3-4 pm, instead of 5ish? Am I over thinking the heck out of this?
