Wedding Gown Styles

No doubt your wedding day outfit is important to you, even if you are having a casual weekday elopement at the San Francisco Courthouse. So, what do brides wear to their elopement ceremonies? As someone who has been in the business for almost 10 years and has seen thousands of brides, I can tell that the outfits differ greatly. I have seen everything, from classic full gowns to casual little black dresses or even pantsuits and every bride managed to look beautiful and elegant. Just choose something that suits your preferences and style. Did you always dream of getting married in a Cinderella-style gown? Just because you are having a small City Hall wedding does not mean you should give up on that dream. Go ahead and wear the gown you were always meant to wear. Would you rather wear a regular evening dress or something completely casual? Go for it! It is your wedding, you call the shots. Do you want to honor your heritage by wearing a traditional outfit? Wonderful! We have had many brides who choose to do that. Now, guys, we have not forgotten about you. The same rules apply. The wedding is yours. You may want to wear a tuxedo or just slacks and button-down shirts. There is no wedding dress code at SF City Hall. You decide.

When it comes to choosing a right wedding dress for a City Hall wedding, majority consider a short dress. It is hard to argue with that as most couples prefer to keep things simple. However in this article I will recommend dresses that in our opinion look great on the Grand Staircase.
