Release Your Inner Goddess
Sensual, ethereal and oh so pretty, these are the terms designers are using to describe their take on the latest wedding trend of dresses that follow the Greco-Roman look worn by the Goddesses of Olympia in all of the classic tales.
Made from gorgeous fabrics, with great shape and without a lot of sophisticated embellishments, these simple yet stunning gowns offer an A-line style for brides in a new and exciting way, in a style that is also great for many body types.
When made in Satin Chiffon these dresses harken to a bygone era, with a shimmer and flow that gives any bride who wears it a simple yet sexy silhouette.
More often than not, just as the bustier has been the defining feature of strapless gowns, many goddess-styled gowns are being created as an off the shoulder gown, their asymmetrical shape giving a line and a sophisticated edge as well as terrific draping, to what otherwise would be a very simple gown.
For some, keeping with tradition, the length of the gown remains to the floor, but a new shorter trend has designers creating more of these fashion forward gowns in a shorter baby doll style, giving the bride an ease of movement and a freedom that is especially welcome when on a beachfront destination wedding and paired with lace up sandles and sexy goddess-style arm cuffs.
Created with simple embellishments or details at the waist, or with a light handed touch of embroidery at the hem, (whether it be long or short), a version of the goddess-styled wedding gown can even be recreated for the bride's attendants in true goddess handmaid style.
If your personal style is more goddess than princess - then this is the style of dress for you. So go ahead, release your inner goddess with a goddess inspired wedding dress.
