A Romantic Wedding Dress - the Fabric of Dreams

Romantic wedding dresses are the ultimate in feminine beauty. With a combination of glamour and delicacy, romantic styles blend soft elegance and grace and will transform you into the ultimate beautifully blushing bride.

Romantic is one of the archetype Bridal Styles. It really goes to the heart of what a wedding is all about: the culmination of a romance and development of love, into the union of marriage.

When you imagine yourself as a bride, if the first image that springs to mind is all soft focus and old Hollywood, a romantic gown might just be the right style for you.

Romantic styles are perfect for any wedding location.

If you're getting wed in a chapel or simple church, you might like a simple romantic gown, with a hint of lace or flowing chiffon.

For a more formal location, like a high church or cathedral, mirror the backdrop with a more structured dress (think A line or ball gown). Soften the look with full, soft flowing silks, and delicate lace to complete the romantic feel.

Who can forget one of the most romantic wedding dresses of all time, worn by Princess Diana at her wedding to Prince Charles held at St. Paul's Cathedral in London.

Flowers are another wonderful touch for romantic wedding dresses. Especially if you have a garden wedding or reception.

The Romantic Look

The cut of romantic wedding gowns is typically less formal and rigid than other gowns. Pick fabrics and silhouettes that are fluid and smooth.

Lace, chiffon and tulle are fabrics to watch out for. Delicate sweetheart necklines are perfect for achieving this look, as are ruched and sheer materials. Light embellishments are also wonderful, such as scattered sequins and beads.

Accessorizing the Romantic Look

Hairstyles bring a lot to this romantic look and the way to achieve it is to keep it simple and soft, with loose curls for example. Choose something pretty and dainty to put in your hair and ensure your flowers are also loose and gentle.

A bunch of wild-looking peonies or roses give this style a fabulous edge, with the effect of just being picked fresh from the garden.

If you wish to accessorise with a something a little more ceremonial for a church, wear a tailored bolero or cloak over your gown to keep a prim element to your romantic look.

And nothing will soften your look as well as a beautiful flowing veil, so try every style on you can find, to perfect your romantic flair.

Say yes with with simplicity and grace. Let the dress do the work and the designers create the magic.
