7 Wedding Dress Details You Won’t Regret in 20 Years

Over the years, everyone has looked back on past outfit choices and laughed thinking,”What was I wearing?” But a wedding dress is an item that should never be regretted and should always stand the test of time. The last thing a bride wants to do is flip through her wedding album in 20 years and realize that her dress was a bit too trendy, and not timeless enough. Confused about what makes a wedding dress a timeless choice? We’ve rounded up 7 details to look for, that’ll ensure a bride will love her wedding look now and forever. Check them out, below. 

Bows

While a bride may find herself drawn to this season’s top trends like statement sleeves or lots of sparkle, we recommend opting for a more classic detail—a bow! Whether it’s dramatic and oversized or a subtle waist accent, a bow adds a romantic touch and are a great way to modernize a simple style.

While some feel pressure to walk down the aisle in something modern and edgy, there’s just something effortless and timeless about lace.
