Choosing a Wedding Dress Train
Brides.com defines a train as the extra length of fabric that extends from the back of your wedding dress that trails behind you as you walk. In our blog today, we delve into what determines the type of train that you choose.
- The wedding dress: Your wedding dress style should compliment the train that you use. For example, if you have an A-line wedding gown, you may opt for a chapel train 12-18 inches long, a mermaid or trumpet style gown will go well with a sweep train.
- The wedding venue: The venue also determines how suitable a wedding train will be. If you are having your wedding ceremony outside, you will definitely not go wrong with a sweep train. In a ballroom wedding the chapel style wedding train will be most suitable.
- Type of wedding: Some weddings have very strict dress codes like black tie or royal weddings. In these wedding types you could sport long trains a yard or more long.
How to Handle Your Wedding Dress Train During your Wedding
Before: Ensure that your wedding planner/coordinator fluffs it just before you enter and just before you reach the end of the aisle. This will ensure it looks great for the ceremony.
After: After the ceremony if your train is short, it may just be a matter of making a few adjustments to make it as long as the wedding dress itself. If it’s longer, it may need to be folded intricately so that it is not a bother as you proceed with the rest of your wedding day activities.
