My Bridal Gown YES / NO Criteria😍💍
i’m not getting married YET but i recently had the opportunity to do a bridal shoot and it got me thinking: what does my personal checklist look like?
During the shoot i took notes on what i wanted or didn’t want in my ideal wedding dress so here are my YES and NOs!!
1. plain white over glitter or ruffles.
Personally I prefer a plainer look without funky colors or textures.
2. sleek silhouette over poofy skirts.
Big skirts like those ballgown types are just not my thing. At the very least, a fit and flare silhouette would be ideal!
3. higher necklines over low necklines
With small 🍒s, I prefer higher necklines that accentuate and elongate the body, and not focus on my bust so much. Deep V necks are also a no go from me.
4. easy to walk in over too long skirts.
Self explanatory, a long skirt or train that’s hard to walk in would make me so overstimulated and make getting around or interacting with people more difficult.
OK that’s my 4 yes and no’s hahaha. I think it’s pretty reasonable and who knows maybe i’ll find my dream dress that ticks every box!

When deciding on a bridal gown, comfort and personal style should be top priorities. From my experience during the shoot, I realized that beyond aesthetics, the ease of movement in the dress is crucial—long trains or cumbersome skirts can really make the day stressful. I recommend trying on different necklines and silhouettes to see what flatters your body and makes you feel confident. Also, consider the venue and season: lightweight fabrics suit summer weddings, while heavier materials work better in colder months. I also found that sticking to a simple color palette, like classic white, helps keep the focus on the dress’s design rather than distracting textures or glitter. If you’re like me and prefer modesty with style, higher necklines offer elegance without feeling revealing. Remember, your bridal gown should reflect your personality and be something you feel amazing wearing all day long. Taking notes, like I did during my bridal shoot, can really clarify your preferences and streamline your dress search. Don’t hesitate to mix and match the YES and NO criteria based on what truly resonates with you—every bride’s perfect gown looks different!
