Modern Romance: Blending Classic and Contemporary Styles

Modern Romance: Blending Classic and Contemporary Styles

Here at Wander Atelier, we have so many brides come into our store looking for a dress that’s a combination of traditional wedding dress meets contemporary details, and we love this so much! We’re finding that more and more brides are leaning toward something in the middle rather than strictly traditional or wildly out of the box wedding dresses, and luckily for them, we have a gorgeous collection of dresses that meet those expectations. 


When you think of a modern wedding gown with traditional details, think of things like 3D floral appliques, sprinkles of color in the embroidery/pattern, high slits, bold textures, and detachable elements. 


Let’s take a look at some gowns in our collection that are the epitome of traditional gown details with modern touches that make them feel fresh and current! 


Sassi Holford
Isla
This A-line wedding dress has elements of boho-chic and romance that make it a beautiful combination of modern and traditional. The off the shoulder neckline highlights the decolletage, and the soft fabric shines and catches the light beautifully. 

 


REEV Bridal
Frida
This wedding dress is an absolute knockout, incorporating a mix of Grecian-inspired sculpture with soft draped fabric and a detachable cape. The off the shoulder sleeves gives an effortless feel to this dress. 

 


Nadia Manjarrez
LUCY
If you’re looking for a traditional silhouette with the freshest of modern details, this is the dress for you! It’s a strapless A-line wedding dress with a long train, but instead of traditional white, it’s in a breathtaking mauve-y pink hue. As if that’s not breathtaking enough, the train boasts large floral appliques that add next-level texture. 

 


Katherine Tash
Celeste
This is a classic allover lace mermaid wedding dress, but what makes it stand out from traditional styles is the off the shoulder long lace sleeves coupled with the corset boned bodice and cowl neckline. It’s sexy yet traditional in the best way possible! 

 


Guardiola
Garden
This off the shoulder A-line bridal gown is made modern with a fresh, multicolored floral print. What we love about this dress is that it’s comfortable and romantic and goes against the grain when it comes to traditional bridal gowns. 

 


Alena Leena
Lily of the Valley
Minimalist wedding dresses are having a big moment, and this gown is no exception! It’s classic in that it has a chic fit and flare silhouette, but modern and fresh with its basque waist and structured bodice. This gown hugs your curves beautifully.
