Cairns wedding fashion
One of the most exciting parts of planning your wedding is finding the perfect wedding gown.
Wedding dresses come in so many styles and shapes that it is vital to start shopping early to find one that will help you look fantastic and be comfortable in.
The best way to find the style that is right for you is to try on as many different wedding dresses as you can.

Be brave and try on styles that you don’t normally wear – if you don’t wear strapless dresses, try one on anyway.
You just may be surprised.
Colour of wedding dresses
No longer does the wedding dress have to be white. Many brides today are opting to wear coloured wedding dresses for a more dramatic statement.
If you do wear a traditional wedding dress however, remember that there are various shades of white and these shades suit different skin and hair colours so be sure to try them all on.
Comfort of wedding dresses
The key thing to remember is that you will want to move freely, sit down and get up with ease. Make sure your wedding dress is comfortable enough for you to relax and enjoy your important day.
Fabric of wedding dresses
Wedding dresses come in a variety of fabrics from very light materials such as chiffon and crepe through to satins and silk.
Take into consideration the time of year of your wedding. You may not want a heavy fabric for your wedding dress if you are tying the knot at the height of a Cairns summer.
Necklines on wedding dresses
Think carefully about the kind of neckline you want on your wedding dress as this will draw attention to your upper body.
Your bust, face, neck and shoulders can all be accentuated or downplayed by the shape of the top part of the dress. It helps to think about what you would normally choose – do you often wear halter, round or v-necked outfits?
Wedding veils and headpieces
Once you have chosen your wedding dress you will need to decide if you want to wear a veil, tiara, jewellery or flowers in your hair.
Wedding veils and wedding tiaras come in different styles so be sure it matches your dress. If you choose flowers for your wedding headpiece then get your florist’s advice. Remember, the flowers will be out of water for a long time on the day so it is best to choose something that will last in the Cairns sun.
Trains on wedding dresses
Trains on wedding dresses come in various styles and lengths. If you’re considering having a train on your wedding dress, make sure you practice walking and turning around in it beforehand so you are comfortable and confident with the wedding dress’ train.
