In today’s feature, unveil the twist on the traditional. These bridal gowns each have their roots in vintage bridal fashion, but their designs demonstrate the desires and needs of modern brides. Find which classic inspiration best suits your style.
1. Lovely Look: Lace Overlay
Elegant, ethereal, and romantic, lace never leaves the face of bridal fashion. Inspired by vintage wedding gowns and 2011’s royal bridal attire, this season’s lace gowns feature an embellished overlay for a multidimensional look best accented with a ruched waist sash.

2. Subtly Sexy: Embellished Illusion Neckline
Show some skin without being too scandalous with the illusion neckline. This bodice design gives a glimpse of skin like the strapless gown, but it also adds sexy intrigue as it keeps the dress in safely in place with embellished straps.

3. Cinched in the Center: Empire Waistline
Define your shape, in a long or short gown, with a high waistline. Whether through a slim, rhinestone belt or a full, wrapped sash with a rosette, let the slimmest point of your body be just below the bust to add volume to the bodice and elongate the legs.
