Tea Length Gowns, So Comfortable for a Country Wedding

Updated: Mar 13, 2023

A country rural wedding can bring out the best in people. Fresh air and fresh seasonal food. A large outdoor space without car fumes and industrial smoke also means clean breathing so good for the lungs! Couples and guests always get a new lease on their lives at country wedding.



The location may be a tea estate, on a coffee plantation, at a pineapple farm or even just home, up country. Whatever the location, country often means loose soil, occasional muddy puddles especially if it has recently rained. It also means grassy walkways which may either be soft or solid, again depending on the recent weather, swinging tree branches, decorative and wild bushes.



Expected in a country wedding are also the large quantity of insects like bees, wasps, red ants and butterflies that call the natural habitat their home.




When it comes to choosing the wedding dress for the bride, we usually recommend a tea length gown that does not actually touch the ground. This will ensure that the dress remains clean throughout the ceremony and reception party. Suitable fabric for this dress would be either lace or linen which offer the wearer a natural fresh feel and look.

The boat neckline and open back will ensure that the bride who wears this dress will look beautiful in all her wedding photographs. To order this dress follow this link: SHORT DRESS.


A veil that reaches the elbow is also usually well matched for such a dress. This length is easy to manage and will not get tangled up with bushes or tree branches as the couple moves about especially during the photo session. We also advice brides to wear a large brimmed hat at the reception to keep the sun off her face. A scarf worn over the hat will also act as a preventive measure against bees and wasps.


Country locations, especially in the Mt. Kenya region are well known for surprise rainy showers in the afternoon. Try to avoid wearing stiletto heeled shoes that become difficult and uncomfortable to walk in. If your Master of Ceremony (MC) is one of the kind who loves performing the "mugithii" dance, a pair of flat pumps or white sandals will ensure you walk and dance in comfort.





And of course, do not forget to wear your mask wherever you go!
