How to pick the perfect pagan wedding dress

Now that you know the different styles of pagan wedding dresses, it’s time to pick the perfect one for you!

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Consider your ceremony location

If you are having a traditional indoor ceremony then you might want to go for a more classic style like a Celtic or medieval dress.

However, if you are planning an outdoor ceremony then you might want something more free-flowing and bohemian.

2. Think about your personal style

Your wedding dress should reflect your personal style.

If you are more of a romantic then go for something with lace or chiffon. If you are more of a gothic girl then go for something dark and dramatic.

3. Consider the season

If you are getting married in the winter then you might want to go for a heavier fabric like velvet or wool.

If you are getting married in the summer then choose something lighter like cotton or linen.

4. Don’t forget the details!

Remember to add some personal touches to your dress with Celtic knotwork, pentagrams or other pagan symbols.

You can also add some crystals or feathers to really make your dress unique.
