Modern Romance: Blending Classic and Contemporary Wedding Dress Styles

Modern Romance: Blending Classic and Contemporary Wedding Dress Styles

Here at The White Closet in Fort Myers, we get a lot of brides looking for a wedding dress that’s a combination of traditional style meets modern, contemporary details, and we can’t get enough of it! More often than not, we’re seeing brides lean toward this middle ground in a wedding dress that isn’t strictly traditional but also not terribly out of the box. Fortunately, we have a selection of wedding dresses that suit this perfectly! 


So what makes a wedding dress this middle ground? Think classic silhouettes with interesting, modern details like sky high slits, 3D floral appliques that bloom right off the fabric, unique necklines, and and detachable elements that give a two in one bridal look. 


Let’s take a look at some bridal gowns in our collection that fit the bill for this modern yet timeless style!

Meyer

This wedding dress embodies timeless grace and intricate detailing, tailored for the bride who dreams of a sophisticated and romantic celebration. Crafted from Chantilly lace, this gown features a classic sweetheart neckline adorned with a delicate cowl, enhancing its refined charm. The pointed bateau waistline and button closure at the back offer a flattering fit, while the off-shoulder cap sleeves add a touch of vintage elegance.

A sheath wedding dress is a timeless silhouette to consider, and when you couple that with silky fabric, peekaboo lace, and an off the shoulder neckline, it’s absolutely fresh and breathtaking! We love the high slit and long train on this gown, and the lace detail makes it feel contemporary and timeless all at once.

Josette

This gown is a bold statement of modern romanticism, blending classic bridal silhouette with a fresh, contemporary texture. Made of floral brocade, this A-line wedding gown offers an architectural feel without sacrificing whimsy. Its design is defined by clean, modern seaming that sculpts the bodice and flows into a structured yet voluminous skirt.

Aviva
This fit and flare wedding dress is timelessly romantic and gets a modernized upgrade with its textured bodice and off the shoulder straps. The long lace train adds a touch of drama while the neckline highlights the decolletage beautifully.
