Then you can decide at a later date whether to dance with your gown draped from your arm, or bustled-up behind you. Only gowns with a train can have a wrist loop added. This way, when you dance, the underside hem edge of your gown does not show. Look for a dress with details in the neck area to draw the eye upwards. Vertical trims, tall headpieces with long veils also help.
Horizontal details are fine too.
In ancient Egypt, gold rings were used as currency, and were a symbol of the grooms wealth. To show that he trusted his new bride with his money, the Egyptian groom placed a ring of gold on the brides fourth finger of her left hand, because it was believed that the vein in that finger ran directly to the heart. So the newlywed couple was showered with rice, grains or nuts to wish them abundance and good luck in their new life together. In early Rome, a bride was often reluctant to leave her family, so she had to be dragged into her new home. The strong smell was supposed to drive away evil spirits.
