Elegant Wedding Dresses & Elegant Bridal Gowns – The Elegant Woman’s Interpretation
I tend to shy away from traditional wedding dress i.e. the tube top ball gown. Though I’ve long outgrown high fashion, now preferring elegance, my previous fashion obsession influences my style choices.
While the elegant bridal tube top ball gown is a classic, the original wedding dress was a slim one. Neither was it white. Those who could not afford a new dress, simply wore their best dress. The pouffe white dress was probably made popular at Napolean’s grand wedding. It is the royal princess style that is still popular today.
How to choose the ‘one’ in a mass of elegant wedding gowns?
Aim for authenticity, grace, flow and beauty. Choose something that is ‘you’. Don’t try to be someone you are not. Instead of opulence, modelish looks, over spending and indulgence, extravagance, a loud type of glamour.
So what is my take on elegant wedding dresses? I’ve illustrated with images (see disclaimer) below.
