Renaissance Style Wedding Dresses
Selecting the perfect dress for a wedding depends entirely on the bride’s personal taste in fashion. It can be a traditional or modern gown. But it’s common for the contemporary bride to make her selection among different dress styles of the past. We know many brides of today who have chosen a vintage gown for their wedding. The effect is always impressive. If you find more originality in a wedding dress of the past, go for this style! Anything that brings you satisfaction and more confidence in your personal beauty and charm is indicated.
Let’s stop for a few words at the Renaissance style. This was one of the most flourishing eras that brought many changes in art, literature and many other cultural and social fields. The Renaissance style is all about royalty and elegance. In terms of wedding dresses, anything made of lush velvet and brocade can fit. The romance of this style can be found in the Shakespearian style from the Romeo and Juliet story. This theme is ideal for the bride who wants to wear a royal dress and a rose bouquet. If you prefer the old-Italian flair, consider marrying in a Tuscan style. Tuscan is a great location for a Renaissance wedding ceremony.

Choose this theme and decorate the place in warm shades of gold, yellow and red. You can dress in a peasant style wedding dress to feel the atmosphere and bring more relaxation to the party. This style is a bit more casual than the dresses with big layers. It can be made of a modest-looking material, such as linen or cotton. The peasant Renaissance style can refer to those one-piece dresses based on a dropt waist, a waist belt or sash and long bell sleeves. It would be fun to adopt this style for a countryside wedding ceremony. Wed in Nottingham or choose a Robin Hood and Maid Marion theme for your nuptials. This story can fit perfectly well a Renaissance theme. Adopt the same simple peasant dress style and look for this theme.
The Elizabethan style is the most formal of this era. We can talk here about richly embroidered dresses, full skirts, front slits, underskirts and heavy fabrics. The embellished jacquard is one of the most common choices for dresses during this period. If you like the elaborated look, consider wearing a layered wedding dress. There is the dress with a full long skirt with hoops and a gathered chemise shirt accompanied by a form-fitted bodice. The second layered dress style of choice is the open-sided dress that comes with a tunic over the top. It also features a specific lace up on the sides and no sleeves. The chemise covers the arm in a more elegant way.

There were years when this material was only utilized as accent to silk, satin or other trendy fabrics. In many cases – especially during the 1940s, lace was only incorporated in the sleeves. This material is conservative and this is why only the conventional women were seen wearing it. Nowadays, lace is regarded as a timeless fabric that can make a bride feel even more special, feminine and unique.

This type of look is very much appreciated in current Hollywood events. We’ve seen many celebrities wearing old-fashion evening gowns and troubled bobs from the magnificent 1920 period.

Her gowns are perfectly molded on the body, enhancing the natural lines of the body. We love this mixture of sexy and dramatic. It is extremely gallant and luxurious. The slippery models with deep cuts are our favorites. We like the mermaid silhouettes with low cut backs and the bustier tops used for most of the models available in this collection.

We also fancy the modest looks that still look extremely fashionable. The execution of the cuts, lines and details is simply perfect. We wouldn’t change a thing at these gowns. This designer is a master in creating exquisite silhouettes for the pretentious bride who wants something perfect fit and figure-flattering for her wedding.

One of the many things that intrigue us at this collection is the trendy approach on the strapped style. This couturier used different types of straps, sleeves, boleros and arm adornments to combat the ordinary strapless look. And she did an amazing job creating the off-the-shoulders strap and flutter sleeve designs.
1920 Wedding Dresses (Source: weddinginspirasi.com)
Anyone can stand out in one of these gowns and pose an unforgettable look! Bold, whimsy, edgy and seductive, these silhouettes are for the offbeat bride who is willing to take her look to the next level of fashion, beauty and style. There is something very snob-like about these gowns, don’t you agree? But this elitist and refined flair is the very quintessence of this collection.

The bride who is into this style usually prefers the cozier locations and the comfortable dresses. But playing practical and relaxed is not the most important thing in obtaining a look that is specific to the boho style. The details and accents inspired by nature and vintage couture are the ones that make all the difference.

The headpiece plays an essential role in the boho bride’s wardrobe. The cap veils are the most romantic and feminine designs promoted today for brides who taste this type of fashion. You can wear a simple veil made of tulle or other organic fabric, or opt for something more romantic made from lace. The fabric headbands and bandanas are also specific to this style.

Lace Wedding Dresses: Back Details
Lace is one of the most romantic fabrics for a wedding dress, but it is also among the most pretentious. Despite its natural beauty and sensual appeal, not all brides are into it. There are still many women who can’t seem to picture themselves wearing a lace wedding dress, and the reasons are many.
Lace is still a traditional fabric, no matter how our designers try to change that. We have to admit though that dresses they’ve created recently with lace look extremely fresh and contemporary. Unfortunately, not many brides are aware of this changing and this is why they still thing lace is a conventional fabric fitted only for conservative women.
