If you’re on TikTok, you know the new trend is a video showing wedding dress styles through the decades. From simple and modest in the 50s, to Audrey Hepburn-inspired dresses in the 60s, to taffeta, lace, and huge sleeves in the 80s, wedding dress styles have evolved with fashion trends.
If you’re looking for a classic style that doesn’t scream “2020s” and instead is timeless, check out these 5 styles that won’t cause your future kids to cringe when they look at your wedding photos!
- Slip Dress
The slip dress is a classic dress for a reason. Simple and elegant, it’s great for all different types of venues, whether it’s a more casual, lakeside location or a more formal affair. Whether you’re getting married in a morning ceremony or having an evening, sunset wedding, the slip dress will transition seamlessly from your ceremony to the dance floor.
- Ball Gown
Ball gowns never go out of style. If you’re dreaming of a princess wedding, a ball gown is what you’re looking for. Ballgowns have fitted bodices that go straight down into a full, flared skirt.
The skirt often has layers of crinoline underneath to give it a full and poofy look. These are great dresses for women with pear-shaped bodies, as the waist will nip in, giving you an hourglass figure.
- A-Line
A-line dresses are flattering for all body types. A-lines are fitted in the bust and flare out at the waist into an A-shape. If you are curvy, an A-line dress is a great choice as it will highlight areas that you want to flatter while hiding areas you might not want to put on display.
- Trumpet-Style
Trumpet-style dresses are similar to mermaid-style wedding dresses. These dresses are fitted through the chest and waist and then flare out at the mid-thigh (trumpet-style dresses) or at the knee (mermaid-style dresses).
If you want to flaunt your curves, one of these dresses is for you. Just make sure you can walk and sit down in it!
- Vintage Dresses
Vintage-style wedding dresses never go out of style. Think a Jackie O silhouette. The sheath dresses she favored looked good in the 1960s and look just as good in the 2020s. If you like the idea of a vintage dress but want to make it more your own, use your mother or grandmother’s dress and have it altered and adjusted to be more your style.
