My Wedding Dress was White Thai Silk, with Military-style collar, as my husband-to-be was in the Army, so our outfits 'matched'. The rest of my gown flowed to ground, with inverted pleat down one side. Had my long hair all curled up at back & sides, & flat-back in front, as a Tiara of flowers, matching my Bouquet, was my headpiece. I had no veil, as I just not a veil sort of person. I'm very biased, of course, but all looked beautiful!
I scrubbed up pretty well, too!
I had to go to Hong Kong, for work, so took some of gown-material with me, & had Wedding shoes & bag made there.
Very happy with my choice.
