Choosing the perfect dress for your Gibraltar wedding
The day of your nuptials is a special day that you’ll treasure in your memories forever, especially when you’re getting married in Gibraltar, an idyllic setting with enviable weather. Choosing the right dress that will not only be stunningly beautiful but will also keep you feeling comfortable is extremely important for you to fully enjoy your wedding day.
Here are some essential tips to consider when you’re selecting your dress for your wedding in Gibraltar:
1. Consider the season
Summer weather in Gibraltar is typically hot and humid with very little rain. If you’re planning your Gibraltar wedding between June and August, then you’ll need to choose a dress that will allow you to keep cool whilst still remaining stunning as a bride, especially if your wedding is going to be outdoors. Although the temperature in Gibraltar tends to stay above 8°C, even during the cooler months, it’s important to choose a dress that won’t leave you shivering in the breeze.
2. Spring and summer styles
Short styles
Opting for a shorter dress is a perfect option for a hot summer day. It will keep you cool and won’t weigh you down, especially if you’re getting married outside in the heat.
Maximise the lace
Lacy wedding dresses are excellent for warmer weather. Light against the skin, they don’t add too much heat and will keep you cool. Selecting a high-quality lace is essential, however, to ensure that you don’t itch in the heat.
Go for a backless or strapless design with natural fabrics
Not only do backless and strapless styles look gorgeous, they’ll also stop you from overheating on your wedding day. Choosing natural fabrics such as silk or cotton is also a great idea when you want to keep cool but have a beautiful, stylish glow.
3. Autumn and winter styles
Opt for warmer materials
Fabrics such as velvet and brocade will keep you warmer during your wedding and have a timeless look of classic beauty. If you wear a dress with multiple layers of tulle and taffeta, this can also keep you warm.
Longer sleeved designs
In the wake of the Royal weddings of Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, long-sleeved wedding dresses have increased in popularity and will stop you from getting cold on your magical day.
