Our Favorite Gowns for the Timeless Bride
Before beginning her gown search, every bride must take a moment of introspection to determine what type of look she wants to achieve. Is she a bold fashionista? Does she want to look whimsical and effervescent? Is she a sexy siren? What is a core element of this bride’s unique personality that she wants to encapsulate?
Today we’re looking at styles for the Timeless Bride. This is a request we get often, and for good reason. The timeless bride often wants a simplistic look that transcends times and trends. While some may look at timeless styles and think “safe”, we look at timeless styles and say “chic”.
There are many ways to achieve a timeless bridal look, but often we gravitate toward crisp fabrics, clean nines, and minimal embellishment. While the styling of these gowns can take them in any direction, we find that timeless brides enjoy traditional cathedral veils, pearl jewelry, or dainty crystals. When the entire look is put together, one should look at photos of the bride and not necessarily be able to pinpoint what year the wedding took place.
For our brides who are looking for a timeless look, these are a few of our newest gowns that we’d start with:
Style 1557 by Martina Liana is a timeless look with an element of ‘wow factor’. The detachable ballgown skirt truly allows the bride to have two looks in one, revealing a slim silhouette and sexy slit that’s made for a raucous reception.
Style 1486 is both undeniably classic and delightfully versatile with it’s rusched bodice and classic trumpet silhouette. We love it styled with a classic pearl-embellished veil for a subtle style statement.
BL21127 by Bliss by Monique Lhuillier is another classic with a twist. The pleated off-the-shoulder bodice is a true classic, while the split ballgown skirt is a uniquely modern detail that lends a fresh and fashionable element to this look.
For the romantic at heart, style D3685 will have you twirling. The lightweight layers of the tulle ballgown skirt are perfect for dreamy wedding photographs, while maintaining a truly timeless vibe.
If a bride is looking for timeless vibes without the structure or formality, we’d recommend the Archie gown by Made with Love. This gown interprets timelessness with the likes of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy with its effortless modern minimalism. And just like Carolyn, we wouldn’t be able to resist styling it with sheer tulle gloves - so chic!
