Hello Gorgeous!

It’s time for another round of stylist picks and the setting for this week’s gowns is a backyard soiree.

Varying from rustic farm-to-table gatherings to casual family-based barbecue-like parties; a backyard wedding can be a wonderful way to celebrate your special day.

Just because your wedding is not in a mansion and doesn’t include a 7-course meal does not mean you have to sacrifice a beautiful gown. Below are our stylist picks for amazing gowns that will fit perfectly at a backyard wedding.

Ballgown

Halo from Blush by Hayley Paige

The nude lining and soft, flyaway train are whimsical and fresh making Halo perfect for an outdoor reception.

A-Line

“Kim” from Tara Keely

With Mocha tinted organza and chunky lace, this A-Line beauty has a breezy quality that is highly desired among many backyard wedding brides.

Column

Idella from Kelly by Kelly Faetanini

Idella is made of Chantilly lace with a beaded bodice and sheer back. The texture and low key sophistication makes the gown girly enough to feel bridal but earthy enough to fit well in the outdoors.

Fit to Flare

“Rosalind” from Ella Rosa

Carefully placed lace appliques on the straps and bodice make this gown feel very organic while the lace silhouette is easy to manage and textured to fit well in an outdoor setting.

Trumpet / Mermaid

“Maeve” from Mikaella Bridal

Wearing a dramatic silhouette in a casual setting is still possible. This trumpet gown of soft tulle with horsehair trim and a sweetheart neckline is sweet and romantic, softening the edge of the fitted cut.

Brides think that they have to eliminate silhouettes or fabrics because of their venue. But from experience I can say that it is more important to buy the dress that you truly want. With a few additions or alterations, dresses can be made to fit your setting. Chances are that your ideal dress and your ideal venue are fairly in sync anyway.

I hope you enjoyed our choices for a backyard wedding.

Until next time!
