That’s why we’ve put together a list of the 5 bridal fashion tips you need to know for 2023.
Whether you’re looking for a traditional gown or something a little more modern, these tips will help you find the perfect dress for your big day. So, if you’re ready to start planning your wedding, read on!
2. Embrace traditional silhouettes with a twist
The notion of bridal gowns has always had a familiar silhouette. These gowns are timeless, classic, and steeped in tradition. In 2023, you can embrace the traditional silhouettes with a twist, while still pleasing your future mother-in-law. Whether it’s a slight change in fabric or a more dramatic waistline or dress length, you can bring a modern touch to a classic cut.
For example, if you love the look of a ball gown, opt for a modern fabric such as lace or tulle. Or if you prefer a mermaid silhouette, opt for a higher waistline and a lace train. If you love the look of a princess skirt, opt for a shorter length and a scoop neckline. Use today’s celebrity weddings and even those of the past for your wedding moodboard.
By embracing the traditional silhouettes and adding a modern twist, you can create the perfect dress for your wedding day.
3. Consider wearing a jumpsuit for your rehearsal dinner
Jumpsuits have made a comeback in bridal fashion, and they’re a great option if you’re hoping to create a modern look for your dinner rehearsal, or even for your bridesmaids. Jumpsuits come in all shapes and sizes, and they can be tailored to create the perfect fit for your body.
If you’re looking for a classic look with a modern twist, opt for a long-sleeved jumpsuit in a sleek fabric like silk or satin. Adding subtle details, such as ruffles or beading, can elevate your look and give it just the right touch of elegance.
For a more edgy bridal look while hosting that first wedding even with loved ones over dinner, consider a short-sleeved jumpsuit in a bright color. However you wear it, jumpsuits are a great way to create a unique and modern bridal look.
4. Go for statement sleeves
Statement sleeves are a great way to make a bold statement at your wedding. This trend is popular for many occasions, not just for weddings.
Statement sleeves come in many styles, such as bell sleeves, balloon sleeves, and bishop sleeves. If you love a classic look, then we recommend a timeless bell sleeve. Bell sleeves look elegant and flattering on all body types, and they’re a great way to add a feminine touch to your ensemble.
If you’re looking for something more modern, try balloon sleeves. Balloon sleeves are wide and voluminous and can be a great way to add a boho touch to your look.
Bishop sleeves are a great alternative to bell sleeves if you’re looking for more of an upscale aesthetic. Bishop sleeves are often extra-long and tailored, with fabric that is gathered near the arm. Whatever style you choose, statement sleeves are a great option for a modern bridal look.
5. A pop of color is always a good idea
Believe it or not but pink or red could be a classic color for bridal fashion. It looks especially beautiful on brides who have olive or dark skin tones. Red can be bold and bright or subtle and muted, depending on the hue you choose, and is ideal for destination weddings where couples may host multiple events.
If you want to add a touch of red, try a red sash around your waist. This look is especially flattering on brides who are petite. The red sash adds definition and emphasizes the natural shape.
You could also choose a red statement piece to add a pop of color to your look. A red bolero or cape is a great way to make a bold statement with a more subtle hue of red and has nods to Spanish influences.
In conclusion
Your wedding look should be whatever makes you feel beautiful and confident. Whether you decide to go for a classic, traditional look or a more modern and unique look, make sure you feel comfortable and that it reflects your own unique style.
Experiment with different trends, cuts, and colors until you find something that fits you perfectly. There are plenty of ways to incorporate different fashion elements, styles, and fabrics into your look until you find something that feels like it was made just for you.
Above all, remember your wedding look is unique to you. Take the time to find the perfect pieces to express your own individual style. With the right tips and tricks, you’re sure to find your perfect wedding look easily and effortlessly.
