Bridal Fashion Trend: Sweetheart w/Full Skirt

Nothing captures my heart like this classic bridal gown style! Trends such as fitted, pickups, and dropped waist come and go, but this shape has stood the test of time. Frankly, the timelessness of this design it's part of the reason that I chose my own wedding dress! While browsing my most recent issue of Martha Stewart Weddings, I was consistently excited by the beautiful gowns featured in current ad campaigns. Some of my favorite designers for the Sweetheart/Ball Gown style are Christos, Amsale, and Kenneth Pool. It's a likely grouping, since all three design houses are connected.

Do you have a favorite classic style? I've love to hear what styles you think will pass the test of time.

You Are So Beautiful, To Me....Can't You SEE

Imagine me singing that song in a super high pitched Alfalfa (Little Rascals, obv) voice. It was really great it my head. Anyways, I love this dress. I keep coming back to the clean lines and classic shape. I've read a couple reviews from past brides who have advised against having a strapless dress. Mr SE and I lurrrve to dance. I will dance till my little booty can't dance no more. So now I'm getting nervous that if I a) get sweaty b) the dress streches out, I might give our guests some definitely indecent exposure. The thought of adding straps for a reception has definitely crossed my mind, but I wish there was a "prettier" option. Any thoughts?

For now, I will leave you with this photo of "strap" inspiration.
