The draped upper, wide straps and dropped waist unusual all combine beautifully in an elegant traditional dress that is completely at home in a semi-formal morning wedding, but fits a afternoon wedding also.

Traditionally, tea-length wedding dresses are acceptable for afternoon weddings, although many brides choose to wear floor length wedding dresses, whatever time of day. Tea-length dresses is hemmed from just below the knee to mid-calf length, and often have a full, swingy skirt.

The simple A-line design is elegant randomly fall from the tape-wrapped waist for a soft, short train in back.

Pure Elegance for a Formal Evening Wedding

Traditionally, night weddings are black-tie affairs, which requires formal, floor-length wedding dresses. Elegant Formal Wedding Dresses come in many different silhouettes, and that varies from modern to traditional. The most popular styles for an evening wedding include ball gowns and Princess dresses, but the most popular silhouette this season is a modified mermaid style, which is usually called "fit-for-flare." The fit-for-flare style has a dress mounted on the body and flares in the thigh in a long, sweeping hem, often with a train.

Most wedding dresses combine more than one style, and does so with pure elegance. Style PL173 from Platinum Collection is an eye-catching elegant design for a formal evening wedding. The satin upper is carefully fitted into a corset style with back lacing, and the modified A-line skirt has a bit more flared look than the usual princess-style, but not as much as a trumpet fit-for-flare skirt.
