Elegant Wedding Dresses

How do we really define Elegant Wedding Dresses?

Aren't they all 'elegant' in some way or another?

I mean....don't all brides want to look 'elegant' on their wedding day?

Well, this is the question of the day-- so in order to help me determine the difference between an elegant wedding dress and a 'non-elegant' wedding dress(if indeed there is such a thing), I turned to our old friend Mr. Webster.



Elegant=

refined and tasteful in appearance or behavior and style; displaying effortless beauty; simplicity in movement and grace.


Ah Ha! There it is, girls!

'Effortless beauty in simplicity and grace.'

I think you'd agree with me that all wedding dresses are elegant by this standard. But it seems some are more elegant than others.

So, in a nutshell, here is my own definition of 'elegant'..... gorgeous without looking like you're trying too hard---I have a few friends like that! Arrrgghh!

When I think of elegant, I think of celebrities............but not just any celebrity.....there are certain stars that stand out for their sense of style and fashion.....and these girls look 'effortlessly beautiful' everytime we see them.

Take a look at some of my favorites donning their elegant wedding dresses. Maybe you can get your creative juices flowing and get some ideas for your own elegant dress of your dreams.

Victoria Beckham is forever 'Posh'. And always true to her name, she is known for her incredible sense of style.

She wore a satin ivory/champagne Vera Wang original with a tightly fitted bodice to accentuate her tiny waistline.

The crown accents her overall look perfectly by not overpowering her gown as a veil could have.

While many other brides would have chosen a heavier necklace such as a strand of pearls or sparkley rhinestones, Victoria wore a simple cross which makes this elegant look even more so.

When Jacqueline Bouvier married John F. Kennedy in 1953, it was the closest thing to a royal wedding our country had ever had.

Jackie O then became the fashion icon of the era, always inspiring us with her elegant sense of style.

Her wedding dress was designed by fashion designer Oleg Cassini and was made from 50 yards of ivory silk taffeta.
