Temple Bridal Dresses
The following guidelines are adapted from an article entitled "Temple Bridal Dress Guidelines" found in the June 1997 Ensign (p. 72).
Your dress must be white. To be sure that your dress is white, you can use a piece of white typing paper to compare the colors or you can take a swatch of material to the temple to be approved.
- Your dress must be modest. Remember that it must cover your garments. The temple requires that your dress has a high neck-line and is long-sleeved. However, if the dress you decide on is not, fabric inserts may be available at the temple. These inserts often are a satin long-sleeved shirt you can wear under your dress.
- Sheer fabric must be lined.
- A train must be removable or be designed to bustle up during the temple ceremonies.
- Dresses should be free of elaborate ornamentation and kept in harmony with the simple and sacred nature of the temple ceremony.
