Could inspiration for your dream wedding dress be hiding in your closet?

Finding your bridal style could seem a daunting task to even the most confident woman out there. Your wedding dress is the most important dress you’ll ever wear, so no pressure right? You are faced with loads of choices pertaining to your wedding dress: Lace? All lace or lace? Lace bodice? Lace appliqué work only? Ball gown? Beading? Backless? So if you are feeling a little lost, then looking in your closet might be the answer. Your everyday style could serve as a guide to finding ”the one”. Here are a few examples and guidelines:

Classic

If your style is classic, you’ll find that your closet is probably filled with timeless staples that can be mixed and matched. From casuals to chick, elegant outfits. Your closet might reveal classics like a white button down shirt, A-line skirts and dresses, a classic trench coat along with tailored pieces that fit perfectly. Your bridal style would likely consist of traditional silhouettes, lace (be it appliqués or an all lace wedding dress) with timeless touches such as covered buttons. A gorgeous veil provides the perfect finishing touch. Think fit and flare, ruched detail, strategically placed lace appliqué detail with a hint of sparkle here and there.

Girly

Aah, the girly girl…pastels, lace, ruffles…need I say no more? One can never be too girly right? Your style is dreamy with romantic finishes and you love embracing your feminine side. You would like to be a vision floating down the aisle on your wedding day. A soft ivory or beautiful blush hue can add to the romance of your wedding dress. Think layered lace, sheer tulle ruffles, flounces and delicate flower petals.

Beachy

You are the type of bride who can pull off effortless style. Your closet is filled with breezy pieces that plays up your laid-back style. Your ideal wedding dress is one that is light and airy, easily blown in the ocean breeze as you say ”I do”. Think the softest chiffon, possibly the thinnest spaghetti straps and something sexy featuring at the back.

Boho

Fashion to a free-spirited beauty like you is all about being creative in what you wear, playing with bold prints in flowy fabrics. You and hippie inspired pieces are a perfect fit. Look for a gown in soft and airy fabrics with natural finishes – think Cotton and Guipure laces, Georgette, chiffon.

Vintage

Your style is inspired by iconic classics and bygone eras. You’re a regular visitor to antique stores and thrift shops – filling your closet and jewellery box with treasures you come across along the way. Your wedding dress is likely to be in a traditional silhouette adorned with vintage lace / beading and heirloom accessories will complete your look. Think tea stained lace, antique broaches as hair accessories, fascinators.
