“Wear the Pants” at Your Wedding: 10 Bridal Styles to Choose From

Still all in wedding white, the overall lines of these suits are clean and crisp, creating a slim silhouette. You may opt for tailored touches like trouser-and-jacket combos, tuxedo-like lapels, pockets, and buttons.Or go for softer feminine detailing. Think fluid fabrics—sheer or silky or flowery lace, gentle draping, a bare shoulder, a hip cowl or turtleneck, the drama of a peplum accent, or the illusion of a tulle train.

More design details that give a nod to the lady in you, despite the style choice of slacks. Perhaps the vintage look of flowery lace fabric and sweet cap sleeves. Or the daring bare back of a tied halter top, embellishments such as embroidery or beadwork, a sheer shoulder wrap. Then, of course, there are the bridal accessories you can add—a metallic clutch, lace gloves, high-heeled pumps or strappy sandals.
