The Romantic Bride

Romantic Bride

It seems that the sense of pure romance is missing from modern weddings. Many brides are so invested in showing off and attaining technical perfection that they end up not enjoying their weddings. Their ceremonies and receptions do not reflect their individual styles and personalities. This is why smart women are opting for minimalist weddings that let their love take center stage.

The bride’s gown is always the focal point of awedding. The dress she chooses will direct

the theme and decorations. If she wants to have a simple, romantic wedding, she should choose a dress in the style of romantic wedding dresses. Vintage dresses deviate from the strapless, constricting corsets that have become so popular recently. Romantic vintage dresses are constructed out of layers of lace and chiffon. The dress to the right is clearly a wedding gown, but there is a sense of fun about it. The ruffles will flounce when the bride dances, and it lends itself to casual makeup and hairstyling. The makeup should be icy and shimmery, and the hair can be leftloose and wavy.

A dress like AL-3303 below clings closely to the figure and accentuates the waist with intricate embroidery. Romantic vintage style wedding dresses that mimic Victorian fashions are great for women who want dresses that are unique yet classic. This dress is more structured than the previous one, so the hair and makeup can be more obviously styled. Tea-length dresses are perfect for outdoor weddings. A romantic bride might want to be married outside underneath a flowered arch or in a gazebo. She might want to have a breezy beach ceremony. Vintage style wedding dresses that are too long will get dirty and become cumbersome on grass, sand and other uneven terrain. A shorter dress allows the bride to have fun with her shoes as well. Brides who choose long romantic vintage style wedding dresses are not able to incorporate their shoes into their bridal looks because they will be covered. Shorter dresses give brides the option of incorporating this element of style.

A pale pink dress will express her unique fashion sense without being in poor taste. This dress strikes the right balance between soft beauty and individuality.

A dark color will create a flattering silhouette, and choosing a colored gown broadens the options for decorations and the bridesmaids’ dresses.Romantic brides can also be a little different when it comes to choosing their veils and bouquets.

The traditional bouquet can be replaced by a single perfect red rose, with each bridesmaid carrying white or pink roses.

Vintage Style Wedding Gowns

Posted on September 20, 2012 by bertismus

How many weddings have you been to where the bride’s dress looked like a boring, carbon copy of the same dress you had seen on every bride that season? It’s true: Thanks to the slew of chain bridal stores and an almost eerie need to adhere to the current trends, a lot of brides are starting to look… well, downright identical.

Instead of wearing the same old strapless white gown, why not consider a vintage look? This may be intimidating for some brides, but truth be told, the most glamorous and feminine eras are behind us, not ahead of us. Vintage style wedding dresses have an unmistakable beauty to them, and evoke a time of soft, elegant glamor.

One of the most popular styles of vintage wedding dresses are Titanic dresses, which are inspired by the beauty and regal elegance of turn of the century style, as seen in the era of the famed Titanic. The Original Titanic Dress boasts a feminine v-neckline and tiered style skirt. It is the utmost flattering style for virtually any body type, from very slim to curvaceous. Titanic dresses are perfect for “think outside the box” brides, or those who want to put an entirely new spin on wedding style.

For those brides who are interested in vintage style wedding dresses but who also want a softer, more traditionally “bridal” look, this would be a perfect style. This Ruffled Vintage Style Wedding Gown has a completely classic design. It is unique, while simultaneously traditional. The cascading white ruffled look compliments the sleek bodice beautifully, creating a gorgeous vintage style that is also form-fitting and alluring.

Several other vintage style wedding dresses also boast these gorgeous, cascading designs. This Spanish Style Lace Bridal Gown is soft and feminine. While it is certainly elegant, it evokes a very relaxed feeling, rendering it perfect for a beach or small wedding.

If you are intrigued by Titanic dresses but could never sacrifice traditional white on your big day, consider this stunning ivory wedding dress. Its square neckline is exquisitely old-fashioned and sophisticated, and the delicate embroidering and ruffling towards the calf-length hemline render it as classic as it is beautiful. Like most vintage style wedding dresses, these Titanic dresses are stunning for just about every shape and figure.

If you adore vintage style wedding dresses but aren’t quite brave enough to try such authentic Victorian styles as the Titanic dresses, consider this Edwardian Lace Dress. While it is certainly an old-fashioned design that evokes old-world elegance, it is subtle enough to be perfect for even the most modern bride. The 3/4 length sleeves and v-neckline are absolutely gorgeous and very chic, and this dress is versatile enough to work for a daytime beach wedding or a dressier evening affair.

Whether you opt for one of the timeless Titanic dresses or one of the other gorgeous styles shown above, you are sure to be an unforgettable bride if you go with one of these vintage style wedding dresses. Beyond capturing the elegance of an earlier time, these vintage style wedding dresses are cut and designed in such a way where they are sleek, flattering, and slimming for just about any body type. Without a doubt, a vintage wedding dress is the perfect option for those brides who don’t want to wear the same old boring chain store mass-produced wedding gown, and instead want to be exquisitely unforgettable on their special day.
