7 Reasons Why You Should Ditch That Wedding Dress For A Jumpsuit

This bridal jumpsuit trend is being embraced by brides who don’t like the traditional dress thing for their special day or who would rather be free to dance and move around without feeling caged or uncomfortable.

I love the fashion trend of jumpsuits and the fact that they are slowly being incorporated into the bridal look, whether for a rehearsal dinner, the wedding ceremony, or, more popularly now, the reception party.

But to pull off this look without appearing tacky, some things should be put into consideration, like; the type of fabric, you need a good designer, and the fact that the length has to be well-tailored, coming right down before the foot. Some people may not fully want to depart from the flowing veil, which can also be incorporated into the look or you could have it like a cape instead of the veil.

From the few weddings I have attended this year and for the ones where the bride decided to ditch the traditional wedding dress look and rather opt for a jumpsuit, I would look a plus. They were styled to perfection and looked as radiant and beautiful as brides who also wore dresses at their weddings.

In the coming years, there will certainly be more of this jumpsuit look for brides and even bridesmaids than dresses. And now that the female groomsman thing is on board, we are going to be seeing a lot of spontaneity and creativity at weddings, which is something exciting to look forward to as well.

Here are 7 reasons why you should consider incorporating a jumpsuit into your wedding outfit plans.

1.) It is a fabulous way to jazz things up by deviating from the norm of dresses for the bride and her ladies.

2.) It is more comfortable than your traditional wedding or reception gown.

3.) It is a stylish way to make a fashion statement. Want your wedding to be talked about? Wear a jumpsuit.

4.) It is perfect for almost all shape types. Apple-shaped, pear-shaped, or hourglass-shaped? You need not fear. A jumpsuit will perfectly accentuate your curves and make you look sophisticated.

5.) Unlike a wedding or reception dress, which tends to become quite useless after the ceremony, a jumpsuit can still be rocked several times on different occasions.

6.) You can wear them any way you want. I like mine to be sleeveless and halter-necked, or a V-neck silhouette. A friend of mine prefers hers to button down the front. They come in all sorts of lengths, too. Certain jumpsuits cinch with a tie at the waist, while others are gathered. You can have whatever you like for your wedding.

7.)  It looks chic and effortless. Leave the frilly dress behind and try a jumpsuit.
