Pairing Your Wedding Dress to Compliment Your Venue by Tess Man, Tess Mann Haute Couture and Couture by Tess

here you choose to say, “I do,” and what you will wear is at the top of any wedding planning experience. It’s likely you have a vision of what you want for your big day, flowing sleeves and a long train to accompany the magic of your forest wedding or sheer sleeves with a tight bodice to be the queen in your castle venue. Here are some looks put together for you from fashion designer, Tess Mann, with Couture by Tess and Tess Mann Haute Couture for the perfect pairings.
Cancun Seaside | Cancun, Mexico Choosing the right dress for your beach wedding is about the fabric, length, and style. A lightweight, breathable fabric is a must as beach weddings are typically in the elements with some heat. Cotton, linen, silk, chiffon, and lace are perfect fabrics for summer sun. If you plan on hiking through the sand to your ceremony, an ankle-length or even shorter dress would fit perfectly for this environment. A high-low hem with complimenting sparkly shoes would be a stunning and practical idea. A bohemian, simple, flowy wedding dress would look amazing alongside your seaside ceremony.
Italian Villa | Tuscany, Italy Complimenting your venue with your dress will not only make your pictures look on point, but it will also radiate the vibe of your surroundings. Italian villas are chic and dignified. Choosing a dress with these attributes will help you look like you’ve always belonged there! The color of your dress under warm-toned villa lighting will be a very important factor in determining between an off white/palest ivory, ivory, gold champagne, cocoa or blush dress to name a few options. Some Italian villas hold a gothic style of architecture, which would fit perfectly with a layered, sleeved dress with some movement. Lightweight and elegant will always be the norm in Italy. A deep v-neckline will help accentuate the body and add a touch of spice.
Irish Castle | Kildare, Ireland Feeling like royalty when you are getting married is a dream for many little princesses growing up and may be the dream come true for you. The accessories added will make the dress pop, as well. A veil, tiara, or large hair piece will tie in the elegance of your dress and venue. Elegance and grandeur as your dress fluidly flows behind you when you walk down the aisle of your wedding in an Irish castle would leave all of your guests astonished. Lace, embellishments, and sleeves would be a tribute to the past of a traditional royal feel. 77
