Bridal Suits
Dresses not your style? Don’t fret.
Here’s how to rock a wedding-worthy
pantsuit on your big day
By Cathy Cassata, CTW Features
You never wear dresses, so why would
you start on your wedding day? After all,
the day is all about you and every single
detail should scream it. Ditch the pressure
to wear a dress and consider a bridal suit
suited especially for you.
STICK TO TRADITIONAL
You can’t go wrong with a traditional but
elegant pantsuit that still says bride. White
satin will do the trick or pick something
with a little more pop on top, like an
embroidered bodice for elegance and style.
Add some sparkling jewelry to the mix and
all eyes will surely be on you.
GO GRANDIOSE
Want some dress features without wearing
an actual dress? Get the best of both worlds
by rocking a longer top that dramatically
drapes down like a train in the back. You’ll
give the impression to those behind you
that you’re donning a dress sacrificing
comfort.
Or you could blend together masculine and
feminine elements by pairing pants with a
flirty top with bows, sequins or sparkles to
create a unique bridal ensemble.
SHOW SOME LEG
If something a little sexier is your style,
choose a suit with short or an off the shoul-
der or sleeveless top. These options are also
great if you’re planning a summer soiree.
Not only will you be the “cool” bride, but
you’ll also be the most comfortable on the
dance floor.
REVEL IN THE ROMPER
Ladies that love the ease and simplicity
of a one-piece should try a romper on for
size. Just step into a plain, bedazzled or lace
romper for an effortlessly stylish wedding
day getup.
SHOES MATTER
While you might be able to hide your shoes
(maybe even wear flip flops) under a wed-
ding dress, your feet will be more visible
if you wear a suit or romper. So find a pair
that completes your look from head to toe.
