In my previous article, we talked about the meaning of colors as they pertain to your wedding. I hope that the article was useful in helping you choose your wedding color. Today I want to look at the different types of wedding there are to help you choose the type of wedding you want. In an effort to help you plan for that special day it is important to determine what category your wedding falls under so that everything can be well-coordinated as well as having a wedding that suits your taste and personality. It is crucial to consider the formality of your wedding so that all the components can fit accordingly. Let’s look at the different types of wedding you will be likely to hear about…

Ultra Formal Weddings

If  you are hosting an ultra formal wedding you should want a more formal wedding dress and you would want your bridesmaids to wear more formal dresses as well. This type of wedding is one that is filled with tradition where the bride wears an ivory dress, a train and a veil. Length is an important factor here, since, the longer the dress, the more formal is considered to be. The bridal party is also dressed in traditional wear. The groomsmen are dressed in grey or black, the bridesmaids wear full length dresses as well as the mother-in-law. Ultra formal weddings are likely to take place in the traditional church which is beautifully decorated in colors that go with your color scheme and they usually take place in the afternoon or evening.

The color scheme is also an important factor to consider, since colors further define the formality of the event. Darker colors such as black, dark purples, deep reds give off a more formal feel.

Formal Weddings

This type of wedding has many of the characteristics of the traditional ultra formal wedding but on a smaller scale. The wedding dress is floor length as well with a veil and a train. The bridesmaids also wear full length dresses. The groom is likely to be in a tuxedo. This type of wedding will also take place in the afternoon or evening. The bridal party will also be likely to be dressed in the dark colors that were mentioned above.

Gold and silver hues can also look very formal

Semi Formal Weddings

A semi formal wedding is not as traditional as the ultra formal or the formal and is less elaborate. Your wedding dress can be floor length in white, ivory or you may use a pastel shade. A semi formal bridal party may consist of a bride dressed in a material such as chiffon and may not feature much lace or beading. The veil of the bride may be shorter and a wreath of fresh flowers may be worn.

Informal Weddings

For informal weddings the bride’s dress is usually much shorter. The dress may be knee to mid calf length and may resemble a cocktail or a party dress.  Such brides usually do not wear veils. They may wear instead flowers in their hair. The groom may be dressed in a light suit. Although this type of wedding is without the pomp and glory, it can be as beautifully memorable.

Your bridal party is such an integral part of making your special day more memorable for you. No matter what type of wedding you decide to have it would be e nice gesture to show your appreciation with a bridal shower favor that suits the level of formality of your wedding.
