Although casual weddings can be fun, unique, and a great way to save money, many brides don’t like the idea of a casual wedding dress.

They might feel that it does not look enough like a wedding gown for their tastes, but Wedding dress designers have overcome that concern and created some stunning casual wedding dresses that will blow you away. If you like the thought of being able to wear whatever shoes or jewelry you want, and if you want to wear a funky headpiece and not a veil, or if you just like the thought of being able to move from ceremony to reception without having to change dresses, then maybe one of these casual styles is for you.

Johanna Johnson is known for making “laid-back” look both glamorous and red-carpet worthy. If you like the idea of high-end fashion with low-end maintenance, one of these dresses may be for you. The Kennedy conjures up images of casual summer days and a vintage sense of class. This gorgeous empire waist dress is designed like a maxi-dress with tank-top straps. The casual sash can tie where you want, and in any fashion you like, to make the style comfortable for you. This dress is perfect for sandals with a low heel and jewelry that is a bit up-scale, but still playful and fun. For your beach or park wedding, this is the casual dress that will make your guests gasp as you walk down the aisle.

If your venue is a bit more up market, but still casual (like an art museum or a hotel conference room) the Vaudeville is for you. Much like the Kennedy, this dress is made in a summer dress style. It has spaghetti straps and a very laid-back feel, but the shimmering satin fabric cut in triangle pieces makes it classy and anything but boring. The blocked pieces make the dress shimmer and draws the eye to the gown. Pair this with metallic high-heeled shoes and loads of vintage jewelry for the vintage Vaudeville style it deserves. A great headpiece instead of a veil will really make it pop.

Casual short dresses just got a bit of competition from Essense of Australia with this stunning 1960s style tea-length dress. It allows you to be comfortable and beautiful at the same time. A lace bodice going into a drop waist and Swiss tulle skirt is belted with a black satin sash adorned with crystals, which can be detached for a more casual look. Pair it with low heels, pearls, and a vintage birdcage veil for a casual, yet glamorous look that will set the stage for your casual, vintage wedding.

Modern and chic, stunning and casual, the Demi by Elizabeth de Varga is the epitome of casual elegance. This gorgeous dress is shiny and shaped much like the Vaudeville with a one-shoulder spaghetti strap, but it has a pleated and more fitted bodice. There are subtle appliqués on the waist and the flow of the dress is very simple and easy. It flows into a short train to add to the wedding dress look. Pull your hair up high to show off the one shoulder and add diamond or crystal jewelry to make this look the fabulous, casual piece you’ve always dreamed of. Your guests will take note as you walk to aisle in this gown.

Whether you are going for a ballroom feel, a beach wedding, or something in between, a casual wedding dress can go with any venue because it is anything but boring. With styles that will fit any body and looks that can be paired with any accessory you choose, casual wedding dresses are the way to go for the bride that wants comfort and glam.
