-- Modern Wedding Dresses --

Today’s wedding dresses are all about expressing your own personal sense of style. The modern bride is an independent free thinking woman who knows that her personal taste is worth celebrating!

In the past, bridal wear has always been very formal and quite standardized, but in the past few years, more and more brides are choosing to wear their own version of perfection. You can infuse your own unique ideas into your wedding day is so many different ways – your dress is just the beginning! Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Modern Runway Chic

Take your inspiration from watching fashion shows! Keep notes on the elements that you love and apply them to your bridal wear.

For an ultra modern look, go for lots of structural design, with asymmetrical lines and crisp, sleek silhouettes. You can wear chic couture on your wedding day for a look that is hip, funky, and all about style.

A Modern Mindset

The modern wedding dress is all about your mindset going into it. You don’t want to conform to someone else’s idea of beauty, so when you choose your bridal attire, make sure it is truly what you want. This could mean choosing something traditional. It could mean finding the perfect dress that represents your cultural roots or heritage. It could mean walking down the aisle in something unexpected. Be wild and be creative – be you!

A Colorful Gown

Today’s brides are ignoring the rule of wearing a white gown, and adding fashionable colors to their wedding dress. Stunning trend? You be the judge.

You can add color in a wide variety of ways, from the boldest black wedding dress to the most subtle hint of baby blue trim on your gown. Again, it is truly a reflection of you and your own tastes! Add color in unexpected places, such as trim, ribbon, or a colourful sash!

Metallic Magic

For an ultra-mod look, add touches of bronze, silver, or gold to your wedding gown! Metallic fabrics or embroidery give a modern, vibrant sheen to your dress. An entirely silver or gold wedding gown will be the talk of the town!

A Shorter Hem

If you want to be modest on your wedding day, go for it! Dare to be sexy? You can choose a dress that reflects your personal style. If you want to wear a shorter hem or even a white bikini to your wedding, it’s up to you (as long as you check with your venue beforehand – some clergies have stricter rules than others).

The Theme Wedding

Many brides today choose to incorporate a theme into all aspects of their wedding. You can take your inspiration from anywhere – including movies, ideas, colors, patterns, monograms, or cultural themes. Incorporate your theme into your dress for a modern look. This can be done through embroidery, color, pattern, or overall clothing choices. A theme wedding will create a wedding day that no one will ever forget – especially you!

It’s a Small World

One of the biggest advantages that the modern bride has is how small technology has made our world! At the click of a button, you can explore the cultural diversity of weddings around the world. You can indulge yourself in clicking through thousands of gowns to get an idea of what you like best. You can even visit other brides’ websites for ideas, tips, and fashion advice.
