Wedding gowns come in all sorts of different styles, silhouettes, colors, and each feature their own unique details - much like every individual bride! Here at Romashka Bridal in Washington, we believe that all brides should consider their personal style when choosing the perfect gown. After all, this is one of the most important articles of clothing you’ll ever wear!
Something we encourage our brides to do is to imagine how they want to feel on their wedding day. This is super helpful for deciding what style to go for if you’re unsure! Do you want to feel romantic? Sexy? Sophisticated? Non-traditional? These are just a few of the choices you have! If you’re still trying to determine what style wedding dress you want, read on to see some examples of popular types!
Traditional
In addition to being in style on the day they are worn, traditional wedding gowns will remain fashionable for years to come. If you lean more toward traditional wedding dress styles, you want to stay away from super blingy details or low cut necklines and backs. Opt for a gown that’s more understated yet timelessly chic. Think royal wedding here - Kate Middleton, for example, wore a gorgeous long sleeve lace gown that perfectly fits the traditional style. It looks timeless without being dated.

Romantic
The romantic look is soft, whimsical, and feminine. It’s really all about the details for a romantic gown! It doesn’t matter whether it’s strapless or off-the-shoulder - any style can be romantic if paired with romantic details like ruffles, chiffon, tulle, floral details, and a lightweight airiness about the movement. It should feel effortlessly sweet and delicate!

This soft flowing tulle gown from Julietta By Morilee is truly out of this world. The movement from the slit coupled with the frosted embroidered appliques are so quintessentially romantic! We particularly love a sweetheart neckline, and that detail along with the gorgeous lace trim makes this gown ideal for a romantic bride.
Glamorous
For glamorous wedding day styles, it’s really all about the drama. Think old Hollywood glamour here - the golden age of film and its beautiful starlets on movie posters. Go for sparkly beading, dramatic silhouettes, feathers, everything! The bigger, the better!

The fitted bodice, plunging neckline, and low back has so much personality - best suited for a bride who does as well!
Bohemian
With bohemian styles, the biggest factor to look for is effortlessness at the core. And there are lots of ways to achieve this with a wedding dress! Whether you go for crochet lace, bell sleeves, and fringe or a simple gauzy A-line or sheath gown, the key is to achieve the look and feel of free flowing comfort that allows for beautiful movement. Avoid anything that’s fussy or constricting!

Modern
Modern wedding gowns are special because they’re sort of the line that connects traditional and romantic dresses. They’re very adjacent in the details! What makes a dress more modern is clean, sleek lines, unfussy fabrics like silk satin and crepe, and details that feel architectural in nature. Think of it like a modern-day piece of artwork for your wedding day!
