The most important part about having a simple and classic wedding is creating a day that is timeless. This means that you stray away from fast-paced trends and focus on more traditional elements that do not go out of style. Part of this vision includes the perfect classic wedding dress. 

Choosing your wedding dress is one of the most memorable parts of planning your wedding. To stay away from becoming “cheugy” or out of style, think to yourself, “will I like this dress in 10 years?” or “would my child like this dress when they are getting married?” If the answer is yes, you are taking a step in the right direction. Below are wedding dress elements that are simple and classic to consider for your most memorable day. The Bridal Collection believes that every bride should leave our Denver, Colorado wedding dress shop feeling confident and beautiful, regardless of the style they chose. Here are some of our top recommendations to create your timeless wedding look.

A simple veil is always in style, as it will match any wedding dress that you choose. The trim of a bridal veil can be finished with beading, lace appliqués, ribbon edging, etc. to complement your wedding dress. Of course, the veil can also be plain without any elements on the trim or throughout. The Magenta veil by Toni Federici is perfect for any wedding dress. This plain veil is an excellent match for a fitted wedding dress, whether it’s covered with details or clean and simple, it’s bound to complete your wedding look.

Embellished Veils

Simple Detailed Veils are a great way to add an extra touch without overpowering the dress and remaining classic. This could be done with scattered pearls, beads, sequins, etc. Typically, the more elements the veil has, the less the dress will have. It is important to pick out what you feel most confident in, but remember that you want to remain the focus; having a wedding dress with a lot of detail AND a heavily embellished bridal veil will cause competition and draw the attention away you. Bel Aire Bridal’s veil V7600 is a great veil for the classic bride who wants to add a timeless and understated detail to their veil. V7600 features a pearl trim that scatters along on the edges before thinning out as they move away from the trim.
