Just engaged? Congratulations! You’re about to embark on one of the best shopping experiences of your life! Choosing your wedding dress is a fun, exciting and emotional journey, so let’s get started!
Lovely lace
If you thought lace was big in 2012 you haven’t seen anything yet! Lace lends your bridal look a vintage touch in an instant but 2013’s lace looks are much more ethereal and romantic than 2012’s designs.
Full, heavy lace gowns are making way for more modern, modest appliqués, trims and overlays. This is modern romance at its best.
Traditional looks
For a traditional look, go for full sleeves and a high neck. Sassi Holford and Justin Alexander have some church-worthy examples. Or make lace young and fun with a figure-hugging design like those at Charlotte Balbier and Sincerity.
Contemporary styles
If you want a more contemporary style, switch classic pearls for diamanté accessories. Chunky cuffs and statement earrings will bring a vintage look bang up to date. Look for a gown with a lace jacket or wrap. This way, you can remove it and change your look instantly from day to night.
