A Look at Spring Wedding Dress Trends

All eyes will be on you as you make your way down the aisle, which is why you want to look amazing! Choosing the right wedding dress is one of the most important elements of planning a wedding. Get inspired with some of these spring wedding dress trends:

• Peplum Skirts

Who says your wedding gown only needs one skirt? The traditional floor-length skirt does not appeal to every bride, especially during the warm season. Show off your fashion-forward style by choosing a gown that features a peplum skirt. These short skirts flare out from the waist to create or enhance curves. Peplum skirts on wedding dresses put a modern spin on a classic style!  

• Convertible Dresses

The ceremony may be the most important part of the day, but the wedding reception is where the party starts! If you plan to dance, mingle, and let loose at your reception, make sure you are dressed for the occasion. Convertible dresses feature a removable skirt that creates a traditional bridal silhouette when worn and a comfortable, reception-friendly style when removed.

• Illusion Necklines and Sleeves

Lace is one of the year’s most popular bridal materials. Incorporate lace into your wedding day ensemble by selecting a gown that features an illusion neckline or sleeves. Sheer fabric is used to create a semi-transparent neckline or sleeve that features a beautiful lace design. These bridal gowns provide extra coverage for conservative brides and add a touch of elegance to simple gowns.

• Floral Elements

Take advantage of the beauty of spring by picking a gown with floral elements. Look for dresses that feature flower-inspired designs on the bodice or skirt. Incorporate your love of spring into a gown that doesn’t feature these designs by wearing a sash or headpiece containing flowers.

Once you have the perfect dress, you can find the perfect wedding reception venue here at Penn Oaks Golf Club! Discover what makes our venue a great choice for any wedding reception in West Chester by visiting our website or calling us at (610) 400-8818.

Preparing for Your Summer Wedding

Summer is a magical season for a wedding. A wedding ceremony and reception held during this season is full of promise of a long marriage to come. Keep reading to see how to make your own summer wedding as special and memorable as you always dreamt it would be:

• Find Your Venue as Soon as Possible

A reception venue is one of the most important aspects of wedding planning. As soon as possible, start looking for your ideal venue so you can reserve it for the day you want to get married, especially if you hope to be married on a weekend. The sooner you book your banquet hall, the sooner you can start to organize the rest of the wedding. Reserving a space early is also a great way to ensure that most of the people you invite will be able to attend the wedding.

• Incorporate Colors of the Season

With the beautiful summer weather, you can plan an outdoor ceremony that encompasses some of the best colors of the season. Bright pinks, oranges, yellows, blues, and purples can enhance the look and feel of natural beauty that surrounds you and your soon-to-be spouse as you vow to spend your lives together. Take advantage of this natural beauty by including it in your wedding décor.

• Plan Your Menu Accordingly

No one wants to eat heavy meals on a hot summer’s day. When picking out menu options, try to choose lighter foods with plenty of fruits and vegetables for added color. Fish and chicken serve as great entrees for summer weddings.

Words for Vow Renewals

After many successful years of married life, a vow renewal ceremony can reaffirm the love between you and your spouse. As you stand up to renew your vows, you want to be sure to say everything you feel in your heart.

If you are writing your own vows, you have the perfect opportunity to talk about your journey together as a couple and the traits you still find the most special about your spouse. Renewing your vows allows you to pay homage to your life together thus far and into the future. This video gives you some tips on writing the perfect vows.
