2014.06.30 Bride's dress for an outdoor ceremony

More and more couples nowadays prefer an outdoor wedding ceremony. It is so beautiful and romantic to say the cherished "I do" under the shade of a centuries-old oak tree adorned with white balloons and ribbons or on a picturesque shore where the quiet rustle of leaves merges with the gentle splash of waves.

What wedding dress would be best suited for such a ceremony? The most popular image among our brides, the "princess" look - a voluminous dress with a long multi-layered veil - may not be entirely appropriate in this case. Let's agree that a ball gown looks more fitting in a palace hall. Therefore, we recommend brides who turn to Margarita Kozak's Atelier to have their wedding dresses tailored in a Greek style for their outdoor ceremony. The natural lightness of the Greek silhouette takes on a special charm in nature.

Instead of a veil a bridal wreath can be worn with the Greek dress - a much older wedding accessory that traditionally symbolized the bride's purity in pagan cultures.
