How to work with the 2023 looks that show off your inner style
The key to showing off your personality and style on your wedding day is to make the choices that make you feel confident and beautiful. Choosing the right wedding dress style is an important decision for any bride-to-be.
Deciding which wedding dress to wear is one of the most significant elements of the wedding day - and here at Bridal Gossip we understand how The Dress itself sets the tone for the entire event.
The style of wedding dress can reflect your personality and style, as well as the overall theme of your wedding. So, it’s really important to choose a wedding dress style that not only makes you feel beautiful and confident, but which also fits the formality and location of your wedding.
The right wedding dress style will make a bride feel like the best version of herself. And unlocking personal style so that the overall look is ‘just right’ is really important to creating a memorable and unforgettable wedding day.
Read on for ideas to help you find your style and make accessories and style choices that are personal to you.
More and more brides are choosing non-traditional wedding dresses. And it’s always easy to find bold and dramatic designs, and the bridal gowns that reflect unique style and personality. This can include bold colours, patterns, and unique textures.
At Bridal Gossip, we always include some non-traditional gowns among the classics that grace our rails. And 2023 is all about the Separates, which are a great way to create a unique look for your big day. Wedding dress separates can be whimsical, tailored, chic or romantic - and they are always versatile. Message me on social media or view some of my Bridal Gossip favourites, here.
Accessories: Of course accessories are a versatile and easy way to show off your personality and style on your wedding day. Consider if you want to use statement jewellery or classic designs, vintage or modern hair accessories, and shoes or pumps that reflect your personal taste.
We’ve also noticed that trainers are a popular look for bridesmaids, but more on that in another post…The Personal Touch: Incorporating small personalised details into your wedding look is also an easy way to showcase your personality.
Elaborate, personalised monograms can be carried through to stationery or table settings, but require a huge effort to maintain consistency. But less noticeable personal touches - favourite gemstones or accent colours will be noticed by those closest to you. And flowers - fresh or dried - will always be a traditional way for modern brides to keep their special day unique and personal.Minimalism: For brides who want an understated look, minimalism helps a personal style to really stand out. Simple, minimalist designs are always easy to find and carefully chosen accessories guarantee a timeless and unique look for every bride.
Mix and match: The trend for wedding dress separates is not going away! Separates can help show off your individual style and are a great way to mix old and new - vintage bodices or capes matched with wide leg trousers, or a simple silk skirt, for example. Consider mixing fabrics and textures or pairing tops and skirts in unusual way – absolutely anything goes and sometimes trying the most unusual combinations unlocks a unique - and stunning - look.
Finding the perfect dress starts the moment you walk through the door at Bridal Gossip and you can message us on social media or email me (Caroline) here at caroline@bridalgossip.co.uk to book an appointment.
And yes - of course you can bring your mum or your bestie!
