What Lesbian Brides are Wearing

Bernadette Coveney Smith - Tuesday, April 20, 2010
For the past six years, I've been tracking gay weddings, noting trends and keeping data.  In my independent analysis of nearly 200 lesbian couples, this is what they wore at their gay wedding: 

  • 46% of lesbian couples wore one dress and one pants suit
  • 42% of lesbian couples each wore a wedding gown (two gowns)
  • 12% of lesbian couples each wore a pants suit (two suits or tuxes)
Over 50% of lesbian couples are requiring at least one pants suit or tux.  At the recent Bridal Market in NYC, there were no pants suits or tuxes on display - but I know this is going to change...

What are you wearing to your lesbian wedding?

I think the Seams dress/pants dress/dress ratio is the same!
There isn't alot of Innovation, thought out of the tiny little traditional wedding box, or COLOR of any kind being shown at Bridal Market. Standard Bridal Shop Buyers are looking for MORE strapless white ballgowns. October Bridal Market will be more of same :)
Something that makes me happy anyway!

This is great information! My fiancee is having trouble figuring out what to wear, and it is hard to find good advice. So hard that I started a blog about it.
