What to Wear to a Wedding

Wedding season is in full swing at Believe Bride! You’ve sent the RSVP, booked a hotel, and mentally prepared yourself to hear the Cha Cha Slide for the millionth time. Still, there’s one thing left to accomplish: deciding what to wear to the wedding! Believe Bride is here to help you navigate wedding guest attire for every season, dress code, and style. 

Semi-formal, black-tie, casual  – what does it all mean? Guests often get hung up on dress codes. Panicked, they throw all prior fashion experience out the window and begin the hunt for the perfect wedding guest attire. Dress codes can feel confusing and intimidating, but they’re actually there to help you! Let’s break down the most common dress codes to find out what to wear to a wedding.

Semi-Formal

Semi-formal is the most common dress code for weddings. This dress code empowers guests with flexibility on how dressy they want to go. Cocktail dresses and floor-length gowns are both fair game for a semi-formal wedding! Even if dresses aren’t your style, a stunning jumpsuit is a great option for a semi-formal wedding! Additionally, semi-formal wedding guest attire gives attendees more freedom, welcoming bold prints and patterns that may come off as gauche at a black-tie wedding. 

Our recommendation: Semi-formal weddings are your oyster! With so many options, you can stay true to your style no matter what you wear. Believe Bride has a selection of cocktail-length dresses, evening gowns, and more! Don’t feel you have to tone down your personality just because it’s a semi-formal event. If you feel overwhelmed, you can narrow down your options by taking the venue and season into consideration. 

Black Tie and Black Tie Optional 

If you furrowed your brow at the phrase “black tie optional,” you’re definitely not the first! The word “optional” isn’t exactly straightforward. Essentially, the main difference between black tie and black tie optional is that black tie requires your most formal wear, such as gowns and tuxedos. Black tie optional is a tad more relaxed – guests can sport black tie apparel or wear elegant dresses and suits less formal than the traditional tuxedo or gown. 

Our recommendation: We’re all for dressing it up! If you’re invited to a black-tie optional wedding, indulge yourself in our collection of black-tie wedding guest attire. We have an array of formal gowns in different styles and colors to choose from. Find something uniquely you at Believe Bride! If you’re leaning toward the less formal option, we’re happy to help you pick out a more customary option.

Casual 

While it sounds simple, sometimes a casual dress code can feel like the most pressure for a guest! Am I too dressy? Or worse, too casual? It can be a lot. If you receive an invite with this dress code, you’ll most likely be attending a summer wedding or a smaller ceremony surrounded by the couples’ loved ones. Beach weddings tend to abide by this code as well. The most important thing to remember is that the bride and groom want you to be relaxed and comfortable – they’re just happy you’re there! At Believe Bride, you can find something that makes you look as good as you feel. We will help you find what to wear to a wedding, whether it’s a beach destination or a private ceremony.

Our recommendation: For casual wedding guest attire, flow is the way to go! Whether you want to sport a long or short dress, choosing an airy silhouette will have you feeling confident and comfortable and keep you cool during those hot summer months. 

Wedding Guest Attire Crash Course: Important Things to Remember

We wouldn’t be doing our job if we didn’t give you one friendly reminder before you go… Unless otherwise specified on the invitation, it is not proper etiquette to wear white to a wedding. You’re probably thinking, “DUH!” but it bears repeating. A good rule of thumb is that if you have to ask, “is this too much white?” the answer is most likely yes. Some brides request that guests abstain from wearing red because of its eye-catching qualities, but this rule is not as universal in the wedding industry.

Lastly, prioritize comfort! When deciding what to wear to a wedding, you want to look for something that’s equal parts fashionable and functional (give or take). This goes for your dress and shoes. If you’re no stranger to the dance floor, keep this in mind when shopping for wedding guest attire!

This may not be your big day, but there’s no reason you can’t shine! Dance through wedding season in style with Believe Bride’s wide selection of gowns and dresses. Contact us today to find your dream wedding guest attire!

Jordan + Derek

An Epic Destination Wedding filled with Helicopter Rides, Glaciers, Pristine Waters, and of course Love!!

Jordan and Derek said I do on July 11, 2022 and we are thrilled to have been a part of this romance adventure. Welcome to the believe Bride Family Jordan & Derek.

The Proposal : .Derek purposed on the Clark Fork River while fly fishing. I said yes, just as a double rainbow appeared.

The Big Day: Derek and I decided to elope, (best decision ever). We took helicopters with our parents and exchanged vows In front of a beautiful blue pool on a Glacier. Choosing to elope and having just our parents there with us allowed the day to really be about us. After we said our I Do's, we spent the rest of the day flying around to beautiful locations around the glacier. We got to spend this special day together while we explored and adventured. Not to mention we took some amazing photos.
We came back to Spokane and had a reception. This gave us the opportunity to celebrate with our friends and family that were not able to go with us.

What was your favorite part of your wedding? The blue pool on the glacier where we got married at is one of a kind. The pools melt and empty so we are the only ones that will ever be married at that spot.

Special Memories: Eloping allowed us to spend the day with each other and not feel that we had to entertain. The day was truly about us.

What advice would you give to future brides?:?: Other peoples opinions do not matter. This day is about you and your significant other.

2023 Prom Dress Trends with Believe Bride

In the world of fashion, designers are always thinking two steps ahead. By the time Prom 2023 rolls around, we’ll be able to tell you what to look out for in 2024. We’ve had our ear to the ground for a while now, and we’ve got the forecast on the showstopping prom dress trends for Prom Season 2023. Lean into these prom dress styles, make them your own, or defy them completely – it’s YOUR night! 

Express Yourself with Bright Colors

If a little black dress is timeless, then a colorful dress is everlasting. Make a lasting impression at Prom 2023 with bright hues like pink, yellow, or orange! Don’t shy away from shades of blue, green, and red either. If bold colors aren’t your thing, try a classic black or gold dress with bright accessories. 

Be the Main Character in Sequin Glam

A little sequin never hurt nobody! Make a statement in full-on sequins or incorporate them as a flashy accent. In 2023, we’ll be seeing sequins in spades. Whether you play them up or down, you’re sure to shimmer and shine on the dance floor! 

Fit, Flare, Flow 

This is our favorite 2023 prom dress trend for one reason: comfort. What’s better than a stunning dress that’s actually… comfortable?! Nothing. Nothing is better. Personally, we’re thankful that flowy dresses are making a comeback. Create a truly effortless look for any body type with a fit and flare or flowy dress. 

Unique Fabrics Make You One-of-a-Kind

Trends and fads may come and go, but we’re certain of one thing: unique fabrics aren’t going anywhere. Over the past few years, we’ve seen a common theme of girls wanting to stand out in their dresses. Unique fabrics are an easy way to set yourself apart this prom season (think: satin, chiffon, and tulle). 

Prom 2023 can’t get here fast enough! We love these prom dress styles that are completely customizable, making them perfect for every girl. The best part is they’re not mutually exclusive. Mix and match these trends to create the look of your dreams! 

Your prom dress is a statement. You get to decide what it says. With hundreds of colors, sizes, and styles, Believe Bride can help you write the narrative. Like letters on a page, our selection of silhouettes, fabrics, and designs empower you to tell your story.

Megan + Mitch

Megan and Mitch were married on July 23rd of 2022 on a sandy beach near Seaside, Oregon. Their intimate ceremony on the beach with their little fur baby Pickles was such a sweet moment. Congratulations Mitch and Megan, we are so thrilled to have been a part of your love story.

The Proposal :. We booked a weekend getaway to Seaside, OR over Valentine's Day weekend in 2021. On the morning of Saturday, February 13th, we took a walk on the beach before heading to breakfast. It was also the first time our miniature dachshund, Pickle, had ever been to the beach. As we were enjoying our morning walk and watching Pickle discover the beach, Mitch stopped and fidgeted with something in his pockets. I turned around to see him on one knee with a ring box in his hand! I was in complete shock and of course said yes! We had been together almost 8 years and had recently moved to Seattle for him to start his dream job with the Seattle Fire Department and I thought the last thing on his mind would be to get married. Turns out, he had told everyone in his SFD Recruit Class that he was going to propose as soon as recruit school was over becuase he knew how much of a sacrifice I had made to move away from all of my friends and family just so he could chase his dreams. On one of our visits back home to Lewiston, ID, he had visited our hometown jeweler "The Diamond Shop" and picked out the perfect ring! He had hid it from me for almost two months and I had no idea! He said he wanted to get it from The Diamond Shop so that I would always have a piece of home with me.

The Big Day: Our wedding day was the best day of my life. Since we got engaged in Seaside, OR, we decided that we also wanted to get married somewhere on the beach. We settled on Gearhart, OR, just a few miles north of Seaside. Our reception was held at McMenamins Gearhart, which has just about as much personalities and quirks as we do. The venue and beach locations were absolutely stunning and we couldn't have asked for better weather (with the Oregon Coast, you never know what you're going to get!).

We had a small wedding, with about 80 of our closest friends and family. Our wedding party was also small, just a maid of honor and best man. The beach set up was very simple with white folding chairs and a driftwood arch that was draped in fabric and flowers. The ocean was our backdrop for the ceremony.

For the reception, we had tents set up in an L shape, with the open portion being the "dance floor". We hung lights and greenery from the tents and put disco balls in the center of each tent to add a little bit of sparkle (highly recommend disco balls). Centerpieces were also very simple; half of the tables had white lanterns that we found at Ikea, and the other half had floral bouquets made up of white flowers and eucalyptus accents. Every table also had little votive candles in candle holders. Tablecloths were white, with sage green napkins.

What was your favorite part of your wedding? It's hard to pick just one thing as my favorite, but I think the first look and saying our own vows privately to each other was the best part. We got to get the serious stuff out of the way and it really helped calm my nerves to get to see Mitch before the ceremony.

Special Memories: We wanted to do something fun for our wedding photos, since you only get married once (hopefully :) ). So our photographer, Kali Photography based out of Lewiston, ID, took us on an adventure around Seaside, which was perfect because it got us away from the venue while they were setting up and all of our guests who were staying in Gearhart. We took photos on the carousel inside the Seaside Mall, along the promenade where we got engaged, and on a beautiful secluded driftwood beach. Our photos turned out amazing and it was really fun to walk around the busy town in our wedding outfits.

When it was time to walk down the aisle, I separated from Mitch so that I could meet my dad for a first look before he walked me down the aisle (we walked down the aisle from a different, hidden location). This ended up being one of my most favorite memories from the day. We didn't have any sort of formal dress code, and my dad had refused to tell me what he had purchased to wear for the day. All that he would tell me is that Pickle, our miniature dachshund, would love it. It was the most amazing Hawaiian shirt with dachshunds all over it! He had also felt left out from the "girl's day" that took place the day before when we all went to get Manicures and Pedicures, so he went out and found nail polish and had painted his toenails so that he could be fancy like the rest of us.

What advice would you give to future brides?: Enjoy the day. Something will go wrong...just embrace it. It makes for a good story later. Sneak away for some extra one on one photos during your reception. I highly recommend doing a first look. It really helps relieve all the stress from the day. Remember this day is about you and your future spouse, do what YOU want to do.

Brenden + Jackie

Brenden and Jackie married on April 23, 2022. These two connected in a way that felt like a fairy tale. Brenden new Jackie was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with after just a few months into their relationship. Welcome to the Believe Bride Tribe Brenden and Jackie!

The Proposal :. We threw a family barbeque on October 10 , 2021. Me and Jackie had done a photoshoot that early afternoon so it was perfect since we would be all dressed up for the proposal. Once the photoshoot was done we headed to her grandparents house. I was nervous the entire time, wondering if I would stumble on my words, or accidentally fall over when I got on one knee. I had her grandpa take her out back to the shop while we prepped everything inside. After she left we sprang into action and put the setting together. We scattered over a dozen roses for petals. We laid them from the door down the hallway all the way to where I stood in the middle of a heart shaped pile of rose petals holding a bundle of roses and the ring. The camera’s were in place and the moment was now upon us. When her grandpa brought her back Jackie had frozen in place at the start of the path of rose petals. The room was quiet for a while and I finally called her name. She responded but still wouldn’t move. She called out to her family but nobody responded. I called her again and finally asked her to start walking. Which she did very slowly. All the while laughing and asking what was going on. When she finally got to me, she had the biggest smile on her face and was so excited. I gave her my little speech about how much I love her and how I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me and she said yes! Now here we are ready to say our vows and I do’s and go on to spend the rest of our lives together!

The Big Day: We are both Disney fans, and Brenden loves medieval, history and knights. When we found our venue ( Meadowinds ) we knew this location of a castle in the woods was a perfect blend for us. The day was perfect, magical, and full of love. The day was filled with hints of Disney and whimsical scenery. A lot of the decorations were DIY and we then used them for décor in our home together. My grandpa created our unity cross which now hangs up beside our bed. Sola wood flowers were used for florals, and with the help of my cousin Marissa, family and friends they created beautiful arrangements for the big day. We enlisted many of our loved ones to help including my brother Clint who DJ'd and wrote and played our first dance song along with my cousin Jonae accompanying him singing. Our wedding wasn’t just about us but we made sure to blend our families in the process and through it all glorifying God. Our theme was fairytale love. Hints of Disney and Beauty and the Beast rang through the entire day. It was whimsical, magical, and the perfect happily ever after ending. It was so much more then I had ever thought would be possible and I am re living the day over and over in my head. I continue to be amazed and so thankful for everyone’s help in closing this fairytale chapter. 

What was your favorite part of your wedding? My favorite part of the wedding was our first touch before the ceremony. Brenden prayed for us and we shared notes with each other and just held hands, it calmed all of my nerves and after that moment, excitement and energy surged through my body.

Special Memories: There are so many parts of the wedding that will stick with me forever! Some of the top memories are of course, the first touch with Brenden before the ceremony. Walking down the aisle when Brenden turned around and his lip quivered, and I completely lost it in tears. Last one but not really! We lit a floating lantern like in the movie Tangled and it took a few minutes before it ignited and then it was going straight to the castle, but it lifted just at the perfect time and it floated right over the reception. It was so magical.

What advice would you give to future brides?: Take it all in, let your people handle all the events for the day. Relax, as much as that sounds daunting on the biggest day of your life, but if you can let go of control it will let you feel more present and you can just experience your day in the fullest. Remember to breathe, have fun, make memories and know things won’t always go as planned (even if you have planned and thought of everything) it will all be ok and wonderful! in the end.

Paige + Kasay

Paige and Kasay married in 2020 on August 8th. Even a pandemic couldn’t stop these two from marrying the love of their lives! We are so happy that despite what proved to be an obstacle for many weddings this year, you were still able to have a gorgeous and intimate wedding. We are so grateful to have been a part of it. Wishing you all the best! Welcome to the Believe Bride Tribe Paige!

The Proposal : He asked me at 4 in the morning in my bedroom at my parents house while Josh Turner "Would You go with Me" was playing.

The Big Day: Although my wedding was during covid season it truly didn't seem that way. It was at my parents’ property which was filled with natural greenery and lots of home grown flowers. It was truly like a garden wedding - so many home built or little family details were added. 

What was your favorite part of your wedding?: Dancing with my uncle. It wasn't planned but was one of the highlights! I’m happy to have that memory.

Special Memories: My dad getting everyone pumped over the YMCA. Or how my husband, who said he wouldn't dance, spent most of the night on the dance floor!

What advice would you give to future brides?: You are the only one who knew what it was suppose to be, so don't sweat the small stuff or if something didn't go as planned.

Anna + Joshua

Anna and Joshua were married on July 11th, 2021! This military couple combined the best of both worlds as they created a ceremony that perfectly paired them together. We are beyond happy for you and we thank you for allowing us to help you find your dream dress! Congratulations again and we wish you all the best!

Looyenga Photography

The Proposal : Joshua "won" a photo shoot so we went up to Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs where he was stationed and we took several cute photos. While he was spinning me for a photo he let me go, got down on one knee and asked me to be his forever — and it was all captured — and it was PERFECT!!! 

The Big Day: My husband is a USMA graduate and Captain in the US Army so it is a big part of our life. When we decided to incorporate that into our wedding day it changed the theme a bit but it all worked out. I still got my simplistic earthy greenery that I wanted and we added a clean classic modern look to it. Mrs. Kalin's Barn was a perfect addition and offered so much that made our wedding what it was. 

What was your favorite part of your wedding?: Obviously my dress was my favorite part and made my wedding gorgeous. But my all time favorite is the military traditions that we incorporated like the saber ceremony (welcoming the bride into the military life) and cutting the cake with his West Point saber! I loved that we were both able to have our themes/ideas become one and I think that they complemented each other perfectly. I wouldn't have changed a single thing! 

Special Memories: I cried so much seeing all the people that came to support us on our special day and that was the most meaningful to me. We are both strong Christians so having my childhood pastor marry us was a dream as well as sharing communion together as a fresh start to our new beginning.

What advice would you give to future brides?: It's okay to hear peoples’ opinions but you get the final say —remember that. Don't let it just be another day, enjoy everything start to finish.

New Beginnings

Happy New Year! Here at Believe Bride we are ALWAYS ready to help our brides find their perfect dress. A new year means new brides for us and so much to look forward to! If you are recently engaged or awaiting your bridal appointment, here are a few tips as you enter a new year and continue preparing for your big day! Whether you’re big on resolutions or you are always looking to better yourself, use these tips to make your wedding day go smoothly and beautifully!

5 Tips to Prepare for the Big Day!

1. Prepare your guest list

Solidifying the guest list can be a daunting task. Some prefer a small wedding while others want the whole shebang! Either way, be sure to get your guest list rounded up and documented! Hand written invitations can be the personal touch many dream of while others may prefer to type and print out those addresses and save some time! Whichever you decide, make sure to get started on this task ASAP! The sooner you can notify your guests about the day the sooner you can nail down your attendees. Most people recommend sending out a save the date 6-8 months ahead of time. For mostly local guests, 6 months is plenty of time and you may be able to send them a little later as well. But if you’ve got lots of guests needing to nail down travel accommodations, the sooner the better! Save the dates are great to notify your guests and put your date on their radar. While save the dates are fun and easy, if you plan to send a formal invitation as well you can plan to get that out about 8 weeks before your wedding date.

2. Create a checklist

View fullsize

View fullsize

Let’s be real — not all of us are planners! Planning a wedding can be overwhelming and difficult! Make life easier by creating a checklist! Talk with your partner and decide on what is most important to have on your big day. Once you do that, create a checklist to ensure that each item on your list can be made a reality. If you’re not good at creating lists or you’re feeling overwhelmed, there are tons of wedding planning apps and websites that can help you do this! Find your favorite one and then get planning!

3. Set up your bridal appointments

If you’re newly engaged, we recommend getting your appointments set up to find your dress! While some can be purchased off the rack with small alterations needed, if you find a dress that needs to be ordered, it can often take up to 6 months to make the dress and then need additional time to complete alterations. Don’t let this task become a stressful nightmare! Find the dress early to ensure you have enough time to get the dress in and get those alterations done. Lucky for you, here at Believe Bride we make the whole experience so easy for you! Get your bridal appointments scheduled today and let us help turn this task into a fun event!

4. Pick your venue

Unless you have personal connections, this can often be one of the more difficult tasks to complete for our newly engaged couples. Whether restricted by budget or trying to find a place with availability on your date, it can be overwhelming to find the perfect venue. Make a list of the things you want in a venue — ie. outdoors, a room to get ready in, accommodations for the ceremony and reception. Once you decide which are non-negotiable, it will make it easier to search for venues that fit the bill. Call ahead once you pick your date to ensure you have a space locked down and ready to go. Once you have a venue, it makes it even easier to get those initiations ready to send out!

5. Ask for help

Sometimes we get wrapped up in the whirlwind of excitement when we get engaged and forget that we don’t have to do everything ourselves! When things feel like they are impossible, make sure you have your bride tribe to lean on. Delegating tasks and asking for help will not only make your planning experience less stressful, it will also create wonderful memories to last a lifetime! Being able to share not only your big day but the days leading up to it with those closest to you will make your wedding day even more special. Cherish the memories big and small and don’t be afraid to admit if you can’t do it all.

You may be new to the wedding arena but we are pros here at Believe Bride! Let us help you as you prepare for this wonderful day so that you can embrace and enjoy every moment. The wedding day goes by so quickly and you don’t want to be stuck dealing with small problems all day long. Starting your planning with these 5 simple steps will help set you up for success and ensure that your big day goes off without a hitch! And if there’s a hitch or two… remember not to sweat the small stuff. This day is about love and your partnership and you deserve to enjoy every second of it.

Nicki + Joe

Nicki and Joe were married last summer on July 31st. Congratulations on your big day! You looked beautiful in your dress — even on a horse! We are so happy to be a part of your special day and we wish you the best. Welcome to the Believe Bride Tribe!

Looyenga Photography

The Proposal: I had fallen down the stairs and torn my sacral ligaments, and had bulging discs in my lower spine. I spent 10 days in a wheelchair, unable to dress myself, go to the bathroom myself, or bathe myself. My husband (boyfriend at the time) took care of me around the clock. Every night he helped me go to the bathroom, fed me, gave me my medication, and did everything for me. I was in excruciating pain, and he was my saving grace. One day when I was having a particularly bad day, he came home from shooting with my Dad and I was crying in my wheelchair. He dropped to one knee and proposed to me, and I was so shocked I screamed, “Noooo!!” and hid my face in my hands. I didn’t mean “No, I don’t want to marry you.” I was just so embarrassed about the state I was in at the time, and certainly never imagined my marriage proposal would be in a wheelchair wearing pajamas. But in retrospect, I wouldn’t want it any other way. He wanted me when I was at my very weakest, most vulnerable state. I will always treasure that. 

The Big Day: Our wedding venue was a 550 acre ranch with an old barn built in the early 1800’s. We wanted it to be rustic and western, and we wanted our horses to be part of the wedding. I wanted people to feel like they were going back in time, to when things were simpler than they are today. I had a horse drawn carriage to give our guests rides from the barn to where the ceremony was, as it was a bit of a walk to get there. Everything was beautiful, especially at night when everything was lit up. I love how it turned out, it was everything we wanted it to be.

What was your favorite part of your wedding?:  I would say my favorite part was our ceremony. It told the story of how we both waited 35 years for each other, how we ended up together, and was a great testimony of our faith. 

Special Memories: The best man speech (from Joe’s older brother) was one for the books. One of the comments we got the most after our wedding was that his speech was the best they had ever heard at a wedding. His brother Justin is charismatic, witty, and humorous. I’m grateful to have it on video so we can watch it again. 

What advice would you give to future brides?: Not to get too caught up in all the little details, but to focus on the bigger picture. Why you’re getting married, all of the people who will be there to support you and to just enjoy the day as much as possible. It flies by in the blink of an eye.
