THE CLASSIC BRIDE

Feb 02 in Weddings Hits: 117

Your ideal wedding dress is refined, tasteful and classy. It is likely to be a style you’ve liked all along – something timeless.

As a Classic bride you are draw to simplicity. Elegant styles with a splash of detail.

STYLES & DETAILS TO CONSIDER:

A-Line ‘mermaid’ style wedding dress:

This style is one of my own interpretations of the classic mermaid style. Where a mermaid style wedding dress is figure hugging, this one flares ever so slightly from the hip, giving it a very flattering shape, which compliments most figure types.

Classic Princess Style wedding dress:

This style is the most flattering style for all figure types, sizes & ages. The bodice of this style is fitted & nips in the waist from where the skirt flares out.

Corseted bodice with a circle skirt wedding dress:

Another classic is a corseted bodice with a half circle skirt.

 

Fabrics:

Classic fabrics such as Duchess Satin & Silk are suited to a classic dress. Taffeta might also fall in your taste.
