Country Wedding Outfit Ideas
Dresses for a Farm Wedding
When it comes to dressing for a farm wedding, there are things you should be considering when picking your outfit.
Dress Code
For more casual wedding events, choose fabrics such as linen or go for a shorter length dress.
For formal wedding events, choose luxurious fabrics such as silk or satin and opt for longer dresses with leg splits so you can still walk through the country fields.
Weather
If the wedding is during the winter season, you may want to dress with a long sleeve to avoid the chills.
If it's raining, opt for something shorter in length so you can avoid tredging your dress through the mud.
If the wedding is during the warmer seasons, you can dress however you like - short sleeve, straps, strapless - the world is your oyster when picking styles. You may even want to opt for something shorter as well, as the Australian summer can really bring on the heat.
Venue
Outdoor weddings mean midi/mini dresses are a must. There is nothing worse than tripping on your dress and getting the bottom covered in dirt and mud. You may event want to wear a flat shoe to avoid tripping on the uneven grassed surfaces.
Indoor weddings mean you can dress however you like. Wear that long dress and those high heels, as long as you are comfortable!
