Wedding Dresses with No Trains

4 Reasons to Choose a No-Train Wedding Dress

While a traditional bridal look often includes a train (short or long), modern day brides know that they can absolutely go for wedding dresses without trains! Wondering if a no-train wedding dress is the right choice for you? Read on for four reasons you might want to choose a no-train wedding dress.

No-Train Wedding Dresses…

1. Offer Simplicity. If you’re going for a simple, minimalist bridal look, getting a wedding dress without a train is the way to go! Your day is also simplified since a no-train wedding dress means not having to learn how to move around with a train or how to bustle it. The simplicity of no-train wedding dresses also makes them a top choice for courthouse weddings and informal weddings.
2. Are Favorites for Outdoor Celebrations. Often one of the first things brides think about when it comes to seaside ceremonies in a beach wedding dress: no train! Whether you will be walking down a sandy aisle or up a grassy hill, just think of all the sand, dirt, and other debris you might pick up and drag along with you if you had a long train trailing behind you! Not to mention, your cleaning bill later will be much higher if there’s a muddied up train involved.
3. Are Lighter. The longer the train, the more fabric weight you’ll be dragging behind you. Even if you don’t plan to leave the train out after the ceremony, you’ll still be carrying the weight of it when it’s bustled. Many brides prefer to skip the weighty train altogether for the whole wedding or choose to change into a wedding dress without a train for a reception dress, since a lightweight style makes mingling and dancing easier.
4. Can Save on Alterations Fees. No-train wedding dresses don’t require the creation of a bustle, so that’s one less thing for a seamstress to work on (and one less thing you’ll need to pay for during the alterations process).
