Although the weddings today are no longer traditional events based on classical regulations and dress codes, there are a few etiquettes that any couple – whether modern or classic should take into consideration when planning the wedding ceremony. The ceremony is the most important time of the day because it is the moment when the two lovers are unified in holly matrimony. This is a solemn point when everyone is supposed to be serious and be dressed appropriately.

The religious factor is the one that makes the wedding ceremony feel so special, emotional and rigorous. The dress code is one of the most important things a bride and groom have to take care of, for both of them and also for their suite of bridesmaids, groomsmen and other siblings. Both men and women have to dress up as decent as possible, although it depends on the type of location the couple chooses for the ceremony. Those who have to opt for a strict religious ceremony in a church should pay more attention to their attires.

Women are usually the ones who like to dress up a little bit more provocative and attractive and this is why they have to play it more elegant this time. The bride and the bridesmaids can use boleros or shawls to cover their necks and shoulders in case their gowns are strapless. Then they can take the additional clothing off and look sexier! The bride can also opt for detachable sleeves in case the church is a bit more restrictive and sensible on this subject. On the other hand, if you’re planning a destination weddings ceremony, things are very different. A beach wedding is usually more casual and permissive in things like dress codes and decorations. Everything is simpler and the formality is rather comfortable than stuffed up! The bride and the other female guests can opt for a short length wedding dress made of sheer light fabric. The cuts and lines can also be more commodious and easy to match the natural environment.

The more religious or cultural the wedding ceremony is the more anxious and intimidated the couple and the wedding guests will feel. For the attendants is important to respect the hour on the invitation and be on time. The cameras and the photographers also have to be very discreet and use fine hands. Hire a professional photographer and solve the problem. Those who are strangers to certain religious practices and rites should ask more questions about the faith or denomination the ceremony has. If Blend in and do what others do if you want to be a good participant!
