More and more people are opting for weddings that combine the ceremony and reception into one. These usually take place at restaurants or another informal venue. Traditional ballgowns can look out of place at these weddings. But if you still want to look formal, go for a vintage tea-length dress. Tea-length dresses were a popular prom and wedding dress style in the 50s. They’re characterized by a full skirt and a hemline that hits right around the knee.

This Lindy Bop Ophelia Vintage Swing Dress ($89.99) is super vintage and super adorable. The gathered bust, cinched waist, and full skirt flatters practically every figure. And while it may not be your standard ballgown, its style is still very elegant. You can find this dress and Lindy Bop’s other vintage pieces on Amazon. Although already reasonably priced for evening wear, make it an even better deal with our Amazon Discount Codes.

Keep the vintage theme going with a pair of LifeStride Parisian Pumps ($39.99). These patent-leather slingbacks are also very ’50s , and the bow detail on the back is extra adorable. Best of all, they have a low heel, meaning you can dance the night away and not worry about toppling over! Famous Footwear carries these pumps at a steal, but you can maximize your savings with our Famous Footwear Coupons.

Beach Beautiful

Beach weddings are another popular choice these days. They’re perfect for the super busy, career-oriented couple, giving them a well-deserved opportunity to relax. For outdoor weddings, especially beach weddings, you want a dress that’s both beautiful and comfortable. Wedding dress styles that incorporate lightweight fabrics and minimum beading and embroidery are ideal. This V-Neck Chiffon Dress from Ever Pretty ($34.99-$79.99) is effortlessly chic. You’ll look like a Greek goddess in this floaty number featuring a v-neck and gold detail on the shoulders. Before you buy this gown from Amazon, remember to enter one of our Amazon Discount Codes!

As for wedding shoes, go with something equally simple and summery. The structured leather and geometric cut-out pattern on these Naturalizer Danya Sandals ($59.99) make an interesting contrast to the flowy chiffon of the dress, and are another nod to the Greek style. The Naturalizer brand is known for comfort, too, which you’ll be grateful for on your big day. You can buy these sandals online at Famous Footwear, where our Famous Footwear Coupons are accepted.

Evening Elegance

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with sticking to tradition and going for the fancy, sparkly gown. The Adrianna Papell Strapless Beaded Soutache Gown ($299) is a great mix of old and new. The crystal beading and appliqué flowers are standard issue (though nonetheless beautiful). Yet the sleeveless line and fitted bodice make for a more modern fit, and keep the dress from being too over the top. A gown like this goes best with an evening wedding. Whether that means going to church or partying in a hotel, you’ll stand out no matter what. More embellishment means more money, though, unfortunately. This dress and others found at Macys can cost a pretty penny. The good news is you can bring the dress back into budget with our Macys Coupons.

A formal dress deserves formal shoes, like these Bristol Heels ($99.99) from Coloriffics, who specialize in evening wear. When you wear a long gown, you really don’t have to worry about the style of your shoes. But for a bride that treasures glitz and glam, these shoes fit right in. The flower detail is interesting, without being overwhelming. And the low heel is the perfect height for long skirts, which can get caught in high heels. Don’t be afraid to splurge on these shoes! Our Famous Footwear Coupons make it possible.

Casual Chic

Don’t worry, elopers, there are plenty of stylish options for you as well. This London Times Three-Quarter-Sleeve Lace Shift ($89) is still formal, but also translates easily to a restaurant, bar, airplane – anywhere you go after your special moment at the courthouse. A mini dress is the perfect option for the fun, carefree bride that’s chosen a casual wedding instead of an over-the-top affair. And best of all, when you go for a mini, you can wear it over and over again! What other wedding dress styles can say the same? Casual dresses like these are already a great deal, but even more so when you use our Macys Coupons.

When you go against tradition with an above-the-knee wedding dress, you have to wear equally daring shoes with it. Allure Bridals’ Ella Pumps ($95.45) are sky-high and super sexy. These pumps in particular also feature sheer lace panels, which match the London Times dress. Like all other shoes featured here, these come from Famous Footwear. Remember, as always, to use our Famous Footwear Coupons to get the best deal possible.

As you can see, there are as many wedding dress styles as there are wedding themes. When choosing the best dress for you, just go with your heart. Buy what fits your personal style and looks best on you. Don’t feel compelled to stick with tradition. Nowadays, plenty of brides choose not to. We hope that this guide will steer you in the right direction so you can get one of your most important purchases out of the way. We also hope you’ll take advantage of our Amazon Discount Codes, Macys Coupons, and Famous Footwear Coupons. Don’t make wedding planning more expensive – or more stressful – than necessary!
