Gowns that take a cue from the venue
Photo credit: Handout | CITY HALL Chic and elegant suits or a little white dress will complement the informal setting of a city hall ceremony. "A cute, fun and usually short gown are best for a City Hall wedding," says Halatas. "But if you do opt for a floor-length gown it should have a straight skirt without any detail." Pictured: Elizabeth Fillmore bridal collection. You'll look sweet and chic in this floral lace shift dress with organza ribbon shoulder straps, $2,750. At Mark Ingram Atelier.

Imagine your wedding ceremony is in an ornate house of worship with a long nave and stained-glass windows. The bridal party, in flowing gowns and classic black tuxedos, waits with the groom at the altar. And before you make your grand entrance on your father's arm, two adorable flower girls in white dresses sprinkle rose petals on the runner as a string quartet plays "Canon in D" by Johann Pachelbel.
