Audrey Hepburn in Funny face, wearing a Givenchy wedding dress
Most of the dresses from big wedding dress designers that I tried so far are suited to big party weddings with hundreds of guests: For my liking, there is just too much tulle, organza, chiffon, sparkle and pomp. That’s not me, I feel like having to attend a fancy dress party in a white dress.
The 50s Ballet wedding dress trend is feminine and elegant and at the same time not as opulent as the bigger wedding dresses, perfect for a destination wedding or a smaller scale wedding.
Here’s a selection of my favourite style icons, dresses and accessorises I came across during my research.
50s A-line wedding dress from Romona Keveza FW 2013
Grosgrain ribbon veil from J Crew
Pretty Ballerina Wedding ballet pumps
