Timeless Wedding Dresses

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a wedding dress classic rather than trend-led?

Proportion over decoration. A clean neckline, a defined waist, quality fabric and restraint in the detail. Classic gowns tend to look the same in twenty years as they did on the day, which is the whole point.

Yes, and they are harder to get right than beaded gowns because there is nothing to distract from the fit. That is why we alter on site: a simple classic dress lives or dies on the tailoring.

Far less than a trend piece. The gowns that date fastest are the ones built around a single fashionable detail. If you want a dress your daughter would still find beautiful, start with silhouette and fabric, not embellishment.

Silk satin, duchess satin, fine crepe and quality lace. All four age well and all four photograph cleanly in daylight and candlelight, which is not true of every synthetic.
