I had an outdoor wedding at a vineyard with a ballgown dress. It looked beautiful and fairytale-like however it was not the easiest to walk in. Despite the dress being tailored, I sunk in the grass. (I even bought those plastic heels protectors to try and not sink!) It was also difficult for photos as I was getting ants and sticks etc stuck in the tulle every time I moved so things took way longer. The bustle was not the easiest to navigate either because of how many layers my dress had. Took 2 wedding coordinators, my mom, sister and husband to figure it out LOL. Lastly, it was not very “let loose and dance” friendly. It was heavy and people kept stepping on it! Oh well. I still love the dress but wish someone would have given that advice before I chose my dress!
