Wedding Dresses For The Older Bride
Love has no age limit and sometimes some people choose to get married later in life or perhaps choose to get married after losing a loved one.
These are usually some of the best love stories and with that comes the decision on what type of dress to wear that will suit your age, body type and personality, because ultimately you are only as young as you feel. So don’t let society completely dictate what to wear on your big day, as long as you feel beautiful and you’re marrying the man of your dreams, nothing else matters.
Here are a few gorgeous gowns to consider when you’re deciding on what to wear for your big day:
Pronovias – Edet
If you have a bohemian soul this dress is for you. The evase skirt and natural waist are made of lace and petit poir tulle, then decorated with guipure appliques. The neckline is sprinkled with jewels from the front to the back. Beautiful floral motifs pepper the gown adding a touch of romanticism. The French sleeves have ruffles which complete this boho dress.
Sottero & Midgley Melrose
Elegant and simple this dress has beautiful moder lace appliques that give the illusion of long sleeves, a fitted bodice with a scalloped hemline and crosshatch tulle, that flows over the fit and flare silhouette. The neckline is an illusion sweetheart, that has a double keyhole at the back with a gorgeous train that adds a touch of drama.
Maggie Sottero – Piper
Simplistic in design this gown is charm and grace personified. The sheath silhouette form is enhanced with lace and a beautiful V-neckline. Detailed illusion straps top of the dress as does the illusion back that is accented with lace motifs.
Perfect for a beach or lake wedding.
Pronovias – Drum
This gorgeous dress has a detachable ballgown skirt that can be used later in the evening. The mermaid style Chantilly dress that hides underneath has a floral overlay that is beautifully embroidered. A sweetheart neckline with illusion floral applique and gemstones finish off the neckline.
Maggie Sottero – Serenica
If you don’t want to get married in white then perhaps blush is an option? The Serenica gown is the absolute favourite on this list and it’s easy to see why. The colour is gorgeous and will bring a new meaning to the blushing bride.
It is grace and femininity personified, and you can wear it down the aisle. The dress is a mermaid style with a sweetheart neckline and bodice that hugs the figure right up until just above the knee. Swarovski crystals adorn the dress that links to the Opal organza and tulle skirt. The skirt ruffles out into many beautiful layers that creates a very dramatic yet romantic look.
These are only but a few options from what is out there. There’s no need to feel you should choose something just because it wasn’t made with the unconventional bride in mind.
Most dresses might be aimed at the younger bride with the waif-like body, but to be completely honest that’s not what the majority of brides look like. If you want a yellow wedding gown with a gigantic bow, do it. Do it for you. As long as you feel like you’ve stayed true to yourself and you feel comfortable in the dress you can’t go wrong. We don’t, however, know what the groom will think of a yellow bridal wedding dress, but you know him better than anyone else.
We hope you find the perfect dress for your big day, and if all else fails ask the opinion of a child, they sometimes have a way of telling the truth exactly how we need to hear it.
