Pairing Your Blue Bridal Gown to Your Wedding Season

Pairing Your Blue Bridal Outlet Gown to Your Wedding Season

When you get dressed each day, you take into account the weather and season. In the summer, you select adorable sundresses to pair with your sandals, and in the winter, you go for a chunky sweater with boots. Choosing your wedding dress is no different! When shopping for your dream bridal gown, the stylists at the Blue Bridal Outlet in the Reading Bridal District recommend considering your wedding venue, your personal tastes and the season in which you’re getting married.

The team at Blue Bridal Outlet, a Cincinnati wedding dress shop, always factors in the time of year our couples are getting married. We want our brides to not just look amazing but feel amazing as well. Comfort is key! Brides should feel great regardless of the temps on their big day, and their dress is one way to ensure that. Blue Bridal Outlet specializes in off-the-rack wedding dresses. This means brides can take home a dress in their size on the day of purchase. The store, located in the CIncinnati wedding district, also carries a line of orderable gowns available in several sizes.

Matching Your Blue Bridal Outlet Wedding Dress to Your Spring Wedding

Who doesn’t love a spring wedding? The days are getting warmer and longer, the birds are out, and the flowers are emerging. It’s the perfect time to celebrate. At Blue Bridal Outlet, we recommend being inspired by nature for your spring wedding. (We know, we know…to quote Miranda Priestly, “Florals for spring? Groundbreaking.” But we can’t help it – we love a floral detail for a June wedding!)

This designer original from Justin Alexander combines sweet 3-D floral with a clean, crisp silhouette for a spring look that’s both whimsical and classic. The size 6 off-the-rack wedding dress even comes with an overskirt. You can have two looks for your day – a ballgown for the cathedral ceremony and a fitted ensemble for the country club reception!

Blue Bride Delaney was also inspired by nature for her spring wedding when she chose her lovely A-line bridal gown! Her flowy sleeves combined with her cathedral veil (also available at Blue Bridal Outlet in the Reading Bridal District!) make her appear straight out of a fairytale. Veils can add so much oomph to a bridal ensemble and come in several lengths. Be sure to try one on at your bridal appointment!

Blue Bride Anna Grace also looked like a princess for her spring wedding. The timeless pearl necklace, square neckline and subtle floral print make her bridal look one-of-a-kind. (And just check out those colorful bouquets, which perfectly complement the sunny vibe!)

Matching Your Blue Bridal Outlet Wedding Dress to Your Summer Wedding

Summer is when brides need to start considering dressing for the weather. Optimize staying cool with details like a slit in the skirt, spaghetti straps or strapless on top, and easy, breezy fabrics like chiffon throughout. We love a tented outdoor wedding in August, but we also love staying cool and comfy!

At Blue Bridal Outlet, we’d choose a gown like the strapless stunner below for a hot day! This orderable organza A-line features a cinched waistline, a sweetheart neckline, a sophisticated floral pattern and best of all, a seriously sexy slit that will keep you cool. She’s available to order in a variety of sizes at our store in the Reading Bridal District!

Our Blue Bride below selected a glamorous fitted gown for her summer wedding. The exposed boning, deep plunge and floral straps make this a dress to remember. And we love the baby’s breath floral creations that outfitted the ceremony!

Blue Bride Courtney’s flowy A-line wedding gown looked simply sublime for her summer gazebo nuptials. The dainty spaghetti straps paired perfectly with her vintage-inspired hair piece, also available at Blue Bridal Outlet in the Reading Bridal District. We just know this gown’s light layers looked spectacular catching a summer breeze.

Matching Your Blue Bridal Outlet Wedding Dress to Your Fall Wedding

Autumn just may be everyone’s favorite season. However, fall weather can go either way in Cincinnati, especially at the beginning or end of the season. At Blue Bridal Outlet, we would suggest choosing a versatile gown that will fit a variety of climates for your spooky season wedding. Try a gown with a subtle off-the-shoulder sleeve like this boho beauty below! This off-the-rack wedding dress comes in a size 16 and is currently available at Blue Bridal Outlet in the Reading Bridal District. Can’t you picture yourself at your September barn wedding wearing this fantastic dress?

 

For her autumn wedding, Blue Bride Sara wore an elegant clean gown with sheer long sleeves and a pearled overlay. Her cathedral veil and dangling earrings added a little something-something to her bridal outfit. No wonder her groom is so happy to see her! (We can help you find the perfect bridal accessories for your day at Blue Bridal Outlet in addition to your wedding dress!)

Blue Bride Megan favored a simple but stunning style for her fall wedding day. We think her off-the-shoulder gown and beautiful wavy hair are the perfect boho combination. This golden hour photo shows how gorgeous a fall wedding can be! And how cute would this wedding dress be with a shawl after the sun sets and it gets a bit chilly? 

Matching Your Blue Bridal Outlet Wedding Dress to Your Winter Wedding

Staying warm is a priority when dressing for a winter wedding. This means it’s the perfect excuse to add a faux fur shrug, satin gloves or lace jacket to your bridal attire! Another option is choosing a gown with sleeves for your big day. This impressive off-the-rack ballgown’s sleeves not only look stylish, but they serve the purpose of keeping you cozy. (How enchanting would this Justin Alexander gown be coming down the stairs of the Great Hall at the Cincinnati Art Museum?!) Add a veil with a beaded edge or jeweled belt for some sparkle and you’re all set for your December wedding! No winter wedding is complete without a little something shiny.

Blue Bride Courtnie eloped for her winter wedding! She chose a gown that prioritized comfort and beauty equally. The lace pattern on her gown was a fun spin on a traditional pattern. (Side note: How incredible is this mountainside pic below?!)

Blue Bride Joan also chose a bridal gown with sleeves for her winter wedding. Her fitted lacy gown and sleek updo were exquisite together. Lace is a wonderful choice all year but especially fits in at a winter wedding in our opinion. The illusion sleeves were another unique touch! (At Blue Bridal Outlet, we can talk you through the option of adding a sleeve to your wedding dress.)

Whether you get married in January or October, the team at Blue Bridal Outlet’s main goal is to help you find a gown that not only looks impeccable but you can wear comfortably in all temperatures. We have a variety of styles from rustic-chic A-lines for your May backyard wedding to glamorous ballgowns for your March soiree. While we let the seasons inspire us, our main priority is finding a wedding dress that reflects your personality as the bride!
