Grecian Dresses

Bridal catwalks are currently filled with Grecian style dresses. They offer a fantastic versatile look that adds a mythical element to your wedding. White chiffon draping to the floor with crystal embellishments and an elegant shilhouette, this style is guaranteed to dazzle your guests with your classic beauty and make you look like Aphrodite to your Adonis.

With so many designers catching on to this classic look, you can find a dress that is perfect for your budget. This gorgeous Monsoon “Netherby” dress (left) is a bargain at £180. Featuring lovely little detailing such as the delicately embellished waistband and chiffon sleeves. For brides with a bigger budget, Jenny Packham has designed many Grecian-styled dresses, including this beautiful “Delphine” style (above left). At around £1500, it’s designed for the fashion-conscious bride. With a stunning beaded motif at the bust, this dress is sure to make you look like a goddess. These two examples are far from exclusive with designers left, right and centre going crazy over Greek style.

The beauty of Grecian dresses is that they are so elegant and classic. If they were good enough for the ancient goddesses, they’re good enough for me! They have a lovely simplicity about them that makes them incredibly versatile- wear with a chiffon shawl and veil for a modest church wedding, or with a dramatic up do and killer heels for a chic city event. They are also perfect choices for beach weddings in a hot climate- the loose fit stays cool and look great in an informal setting with bare feet and flowers pinned in the hair. A small slick of lipgloss and a touch of neutral eyeshadow is all this style needs to bring out the best in you.

This look is perfect for a bride who wants to dazzle her groom, wow her guests and feel amazing herself. After all, who better to imitate as you walk down the aisle than the breathtaking Aphrodite- goddess of beauty and love?
