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.
