Frequently Asked Questions
Modern city hall wedding dresses
Many brides want a more subtle wedding dress for their civil wedding than for their church ceremony. Then short skirts or a feminine midi length as a city hall dress are ideal. Coloured bridal skirts are also a modern alternative to classic white and, like trousers with a lace top, are right in line with the bridal fashion trend.
You now have a large selection of alternatives to the classic sheath dress or cocktail dress. Nowadays you can also do without strict, stiff-looking costumes for the registry office.
Multiple wedding dresses for church and city hall?
Many brides celebrate their wedding on different dates and get married both at the city hall and in the church. For the big ceremony and subsequent wedding reception, many brides often want a more elaborate or festive look, while a simple, more reserved outfit is preferred for the city hall wedding dress.
If you also want two different wedding dresses for your various celebrations, the two-piece typical noni look of our bridal fashion is ideal. With the Mix & Match principle you can create very different looks with a bridal top and two skirts in different lengths or alternatively a pair of trousers. In this way, you not only save money when buying your city hall outfit, but you also have a lot of freedom to create an individual bridal look. Our wedding dress collections include registry office dresses in every length - from short, knee-length to midi to floor-length, you can put together your personal dream dress according to your ideas.
A coloured wedding dress is a beautiful and original alternative because it stands out wonderfully from the church wedding dress, which is in most cases still in white tones, and does not compete with it.
So that the bride can be immediately recognized as such, noni offers beautiful bridal skirts in delicate powder tones of pink and blush or elegant pastel shades of blue or violet.
Light pastel colours other than white are also a great choice for brides who feel dressed up in a white dress or are getting married for the second time.
Short city hall wedding dresses
Short dresses from knee-length to calf-length are casual and elegant at the same time and ensure a flexible look because you can swap out the individual components quickly and easily if necessary.
Using the mix and match principle, you put together an outfit for the registry office from top, skirt, trousers and overskirt that corresponds 100% to your ideas. With detailed lace, shoulder or backless, with a classic boat neck, in ivory or with a glitter effect for a glamor upgrade: anything goes!
Tulle city hall wedding dresses
Tulle skirts are an integral part of current bridal fashion and a short skirt made of tulle is ideal for a wedding at the registry office.
noni offers you skirts in different lengths and colours, for every body size and every taste. Flowing soft tulle or firmer tulle for a little more volume and a more romantic look that is almost reminiscent of charming petticoats - you can choose the skirt that best suits you and your personal style from our large range.
We have expanded our selection to include the noni Curvy range: Here you will find bridal tops and skirts in large sizes from size 44. Inspired by the favorite outfits of our noni brides, these models prove that fashionable and stylish wedding dress outfits can also be created for plus size brides.
City hall suits & pants
Not every woman feels comfortable in a dress, be it in everyday life or especially on the big day. Many brides are looking for an alternative to a wedding dress or bridal skirt, especially for their wedding.
A perfect for a city hall reception are trousers that you can combine with a top and - depending on your taste - with a blazer to create a stylish trouser suit. Whether with a patterned lace top, a modern bridal sweater or a crepe top, with a back neckline, off-shoulder or sweeping flounced sleeves, with puristic trousers you can create a feminine and casual look to surprise everyone with an individual outfit .
Jumpsuits for weddings are also becoming increasingly popular. With deep back cutouts or wide swinging trouser legs, the chic one-piece suits give you a feminine and elegant look that is in no way inferior to outfits with classic skirts or dresses.
Calf-length dresses are also short wedding dress models. They are the perfect middle ground when a long hem is simply impractical for the location or type of wedding and a short wedding dress may not be elegant or festive enough for you. No matter whether with a voluminous skirt made of tulle or flowing, light fabrics such as chiffon or crepe georgette, a calf-length wedding dress always looks elegant, you can't go wrong with it.
It's not for nothing that midi dresses and skirts have long been very popular in everyday fashion: they can be combined in many ways and can be beautifully presented in any style. For a wedding in spring or summer, a bridal skirt in midi length gives you airiness and enough legroom, and it also creates a feminine silhouette.
Another not-to-be-missed advantage of a midi-length dress is that your bridal shoes are always visible and do not disappear under a floor-length dress. In addition, you can easily switch to flat, comfortable bridal shoes during the often long wedding party without the skirt of your dress suddenly dragging on the floor.
Are you just getting married in a civil ceremony and would you like a long wedding dress for the registry office?
Maxi wedding dresses are always a guarantee for an elegant look.
At noni we of course have a large selection of floor-length skirts made of flowing soft tulle, viscose crepe, chiffon, botanical lace and silk in various styles. For example, you can choose between bell skirts, circle skirts or skirts with a sexy leg slit.
Long overskirts that have artistic 3D applications or original lace patterns can also be chosen for a wonderfully beautiful registry office dress and give your look a great touch.
A mullet wedding dress is an extravagant idea thanks to its play with different lengths.
Wedding dresses with a train are not exclusively reserved for a large, pompous celebration in the cathedral or at the castle with many wedding guests: you can just as easily wear them to the registry office and impress there with a dramatic, romantic look.
A delicate lace fabric with a playful pattern in particular provides a romantic touch and is of course perfect for a wedding.
At noni we tailor bridal tops as well as skirts and overskirts for you that have fantastically beautiful patterns: floral lace in a romantic botanical style, seductive hole lace and graphic patterns in a retro, vintage or boho look that give your wedding dress that certain something and are a welcome change from the overloaded princess dress.
Another argument for wedding dresses with lace: For your summer wedding, they give you a light, airy feel.
Skirts made of flowing fabrics such as tulle or chiffon are suitable for a wedding dress with lace for a particularly delicate look. Tone on tone in classic white and ivory or with a colored skirt (for a nice contrast) you can put together a modern and at the same time playful dream dress for the registry office. A mix of materials and styles is still very popular in bridal fashion and creates interesting looks.
Sleeve wedding dresses
Wedding dresses with sleeves are of course the ideal solution for an autumn or winter wedding. Not every bride feels comfortable in sleeveless dresses.
Our noni collections offer you tops in different styles: wide, airy sleeves, always flattering three-quarter length sleeves or even a classic long-sleeved cut you can wear in the cold season without any problems. Bridal sweaters are also a fashionable and warming solution for original looks in autumn or winter.
