Today’s Wedding Dresses come in all colours, styles and fabrics, with many being strapless or off-the shoulder, but Modest Wedding Gowns are also gaining popularity.

For a Wedding to be performed in some denominations of Christian Church, including LDS Churches, it is required that the Bride have her shoulders modestly covered.

The Modest Satin and Lace Bridal Gown shown on the left would be modest enough for an LDS wedding. Other brides just don’t feel as comfortable with a strapless or more revealing Wedding Dress.

If you don’t know whether your Church has any rules about the Bride’s Dress, just check with your Priest or Pastor.

A mature, or second time bride may also wish to wear a more conservative Bridal Gown.

For a wedding in a Jewish Temple, the Bride must be modestly covered and must have her shoulders covered.

The dress itself may have short, three-quarter or long sleeves, or a short jacket, wrap or lace bolero-style top may be worn over the wedding gown, which would make any gown less revealing, and more modest.

The gown shown above, is a Embroidered Organza Wedding Dress with Long Sleeves is romantic and lovely, and is available with a lined bodice for a more modest option
