Hi Lovebirds,

You've chosen your dream theme – Now, it's time to find the wedding dress that perfectly complements your vision! Your gown is a central element, setting the tone for your entire celebration.

​Book a call for a free wedding consultation to guide you through the dress selection process.

Here's how to choose a dress that matches your theme and makes you feel like the most radiant bride on your big day:

Classic Elegance:

• Silhouette: Timeless A-line, fit-and-flare, or ball gown silhouettes create a sophisticated and polished look.
• Fabric: Luxurious fabrics like satin, silk, or duchess satin exude elegance. For a touch of modern flair, consider clean crepe or mikado.
• Color: Classic white or ivory is a timeless choice. For a touch of drama, consider soft blush or champagne tones.
• Accessories: Pearls are the quintessential symbol of elegance. Pair them with delicate pearl earrings and a classic pearl necklace. A simple veil with clean lines adds a touch of sophistication.

Rustic Charm:

• Silhouette: Flowy A-line or sheath silhouettes with delicate lace appliques capture the essence of rustic romance.
• Fabric: Natural fabrics like light chiffon, lace, or textured cotton complement a rustic theme.
• Color: Ivory or a soft off-white is a beautiful choice. For a bolder statement, consider a pale blush or even a blush ombre effect.
• Accessories: Floral crowns or hairpieces incorporating natural elements like feathers or wildflowers add a touch of rustic charm. Simple jewellery with natural materials like wood or gemstones complements the theme.

Fairytale Fantasy:

• Silhouette: Ball gown silhouettes with full skirts and dramatic trains create a truly magical look. For a whimsical touch, consider a dress with a detachable skirt for a transformation later in the evening.
• Fabric: Sparkling tulle, organza, or embellished lace creates a fairytale atmosphere.
• Color: Classic white or ivory is a beautiful choice. For a bolder statement, consider a soft blush pink or even a pale lavender.
• Accessories: A dramatic cathedral veil adds to the fairytale feel. Sparkling crystal jewelry and a jewelled headpiece complete the look. Consider incorporating bows into your accessories or even the dress itself for an extra touch of whimsy.

Remember, there are no hard and fast rules! These are just starting points to inspire you. The most important thing is to choose a dress that reflects your unique style and makes you feel beautiful and confident on your wedding day.
