Wedding Dresses for a Traditional Style Personality
For the next few weeks we will be discussing 7 different Style Personalities and how they will influence your wedding gown choices. Whose style you emulate and what colours you resonate with can all factor in to determine your style personality. Last week, we discussed the Dramatic and Casual Style Personalities, noting the types of wedding dresses that will work for you.
Today, we are featuring the Traditional Style Personality and one of our inspirations is Michelle Obama!
Style Icons:
Michelle Obama, Jackie Onassis
Style Elements:
- Conservative
- Dependable
- Always appropriate looking
- Tailored
- Structured
- Quality
- Predictable
- Basic
- Classic Cuts
Colours:
- Classic Colours – White or ivory
If you are someone who would be happy with owning five pieces of high quality clothing, you may want to look for the following things in a wedding dress:
- Dresses that won’t go out of style
- Natural fabrics
- Minimal details
- Conservative styles – for example a strapless A- line or a halter neck tailored A-line
Ivory Joli Bridal Wedding Gown
The Barbara Allin dress also shares a few of the Joli gowns qualities: it is also conservative and classic while still looking extremely tailored and feminine. Nevertheless the one place they do differ, is that the latter would better suit someone who tends to have broader hips than shoulders, as strapless necklines emphasize broadness.
