This radiant bride chose a wedding dress that fits the profile of the Romantic Bride. 

She chose a beautiful ivory colour for her dress. The style of her wedding dress consisted of a half circle ball gown skirt made from a layer of sheer, matt organza over crushed taffeta with a corseted bodice. Delicate hand beaded detail in glass bugle beads added the perfect amount of sparkle to her elegant design. Rows of piping sewn into the vertical seams of the bodice added a super flattering feature to this corset. This feature draws the eyes down, forming a slim & flattering line.

The romantic wave at the hemline that finished this bridal gown off was created by sewing fish gut into the hem.

 

   

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.
