What to Wear with a Long Dress for a Wedding?

You fell for a beautiful long dress, just right for your best friend's wedding theme! Now, how to accessorize it? All without stealing the spotlight from the bride, of course. For big occasions, it's easy to make a fashion faux pas, which is why we share all our tips on how to wear the long dress for a wedding!

To dress up the long dress for a wedding, nothing beats a pretty jacket! Depending on the theme, the cut of your dress, and the season, several options are available to you:

• Short jacket: Perfect for structuring the silhouette and adding a chic touch.
• Bolero: Ideal for covering your shoulders during a religious ceremony.
• Shawl or stole: For a romantic and delicate look.
• Blazer: For a modern working girl look.
• Leather jacket: For those who want to add a rock edge to their outfit.
• Velvet or lace jacket: For a luxurious and trendy effect.

Les Petits Imprimés offers a beautiful selection of jackets that could perfectly complement your outfit. Our favorite? The timeless tweed jacket, to be worn for all the big occasions!

For any wedding outfit, it is necessary to bring out your finest jewelry to accessorize the chosen long dress. First, opt for delicate jewelry in gold or silver that will match your look. If your dress is adorned with patterns, favor monochrome simplicity to avoid visually overwhelming your silhouette. Additionally, feel free to accessorize with unique pieces to add character! The important thing is to find the balance so that your jewelry complements your outfit without dominating it.

For a rustic wedding, wear a fluid and light dress. Here are our 3 tips for choosing it well:

• Floral dresses are ideal for this type of event.
• Favor pastel colors like powder pink or mint green for a romantic look.
• A bohemian dress stays within the theme if the prints are floral rather than ethnic. 

Don't forget to adapt your accessories and hairstyle to the rustic theme to perfect your look! Think of dried flower crowns and jewelry adorned with leaves and flowers that are very trendy. 

Wearing a long dress to a winter wedding is entirely possible with the right pieces:

• Add a bolero or a velvet jacket to keep warm.
• A wool shawl or a mini faux fur cape will bring warmth and elegance.
• Opt for darker colors like burgundy or navy blue to match the season.

At Les Petits Imprimés, you will find a selection of winter accessories to keep you warm on all occasions!

To match the theme of the wedding or celebration, the choice of color for your long dress is crucial:

• For a fresh look, sky blue or mint green are perfect.
• Powder pink brings softness and femininity.
• For a bolder look, ruby red or emerald green are timeless options.

Also, make sure that the chosen color harmonizes with your complexion!

Shoes complete your long dress and should be chosen carefully. High heels elongate the silhouette and give a sophisticated look. Pumps are a timeless classic for weddings and special occasions. If you prioritize comfort, ballet flats with pretty details are a good alternative.

Don't hesitate to coordinate the color of your shoes with that of your accessories for a perfect harmony!

For a wedding with a formal dress code, here are some tips:

• An elegant long dress is a must.
• Favor luxurious materials like silk or satin.
• Complete your outfit with refined accessories and discreet jewelry.
