What is your elegant wedding dress style?

Neglect Not the Sleeves

The first wedding style idea is to use sleeves. It can look very chic.

What is your Favourite Neckline?

Although the classic tube ball gown will always be elegant and in style, take a chance and explore other necklines. This is probably the best way to make a style statement!

This is especially useful if you are an accessories kind of girl. Think about the beautiful long pendant from the antique shop! Or maybe you'll like to wear many strings of pearls a la Miss Coco Chanel.

A Twist of the Back (of Dress)

One of the principles of achieving elegance is to 'remove excess' and choose a focal point. This applies to elegant make up as well as choosing a wedding dress.

Most people choose to focus on the front, with good reason. However, if you prefer simple elegant wedding dresses, you can afford to add a twist by revealing a beautiful back of the dress.

This is just an idea. :)

That's what I did for my wedding dress.

Elegant Wedding Dress Style In Fabric Choice

Choose the off-the-beaten path for choice of fabric. Lace is romantic and so is ballerina's tulle.

If you are designing your own wedding dress, or if you have a dress designer, ask for the use of chiffon to be used in an unusual way.

Perhaps combine with the use ruffles, feathers, or a mix of fabrics.

Unusual Blend of Accessories

Use wedding accessories to jazz up your outfits.

Choose an unusual veil perhaps? White silk gloves? Wear a cloak if you are in cold countries, or a mink wrap?

How about a hat or a wreath of flowers in your hair? Use ribbons or bows in your hair?
