Ive owned my fair share of black dresses over my blogging lifetime (which is coming up on 11 yearsOMG!)
Layering strategies: Bring a jacket, cardigan, or wrap for temperature changes Consider a shawl or cape that can be added or removed Have backup footwear (boots for hiking, nicer shoes for portraits) Think about what youll wear during different parts of the day Seasonal considerations: Summer: Light fabrics, breathable materials, sun protection Fall: Layers are your friend, jewel tones photograph beautifully Winter: Warm underlayers, cozy wraps, boots with traction Spring: Weather is most variablehave options ready Hiking & Adventure Considerations If youre planning any hiking or adventuring in your wedding attire, think through the practicalities: What works well: Shorter hemlines or pants for scrambling over rocks Sturdy, broken-in footwear (not brand new shoes youve never worn) Fabrics that arent overly delicate or prone to snagging Outfits you can move freely in The outfit change option: Honestly
The first step in selecting any wedding dress, whether second-hand or not, is to try on various gowns
As mentioned before, while darker shades are by far the most common, black-tie apparel isnt limited to such colors
You will also need to add in some water to help make the dressing
Chloes collections feature lightweight fabrics, romantic ruffles, and flowy designs that perfectly capture the boho-romantic aesthetic
