TRADITIONAL OR MODERN

One of the quintessential questions that a bride needs to ask herself is “what is my wedding style?” When asking this question one is bound to reach the point where you have to decided if you want to be more of a traditional or modern bride. Now what defines modern and traditional has obviously changed over the years, however, here’s a list to help you decide on what side of the spectrum you fall.

Let’s start with traditional since these tend to be styles that have stood the test of time. You are most likely a traditional bride if you usually like the following:

·Ball gowns

·Sheath gowns

·Straps or sleeves

·Minimal bling

·Cathedral trains

·Lace

·Sophisticated or modest gowns

·Sweetheart or bandeau necklines

·Ivory or white gowns

Now onto modern styles and characteristics:

·Mermaid gowns

·Gowns with detachable skirts

·More bling (the more the better, right?)

·Strapless

·Straps or sleeves (I know they are considered traditional but they're making a comback and we are so here for that!)

·Low back

·Illusion material/corsets

·Textured skirts

·Halter or deep-V necklines

·High-low gowns

·Gowns with color (i.e. blush, champagne, red)

You are probably reading these lists and are thinking, I like some things and don’t like some things from both lists and that’s ok! Most brides are a good mix of the two while some favor one style above and beyond the other. This list should give you a general idea of what your personal preference may be like and then you can customize it from there. Lucky for you, I’ve got you covered no matter which style of dress you choose!
