Key Characteristics of a Classic Wedding Dress

Fabrics
Similarly, simple fabrics like mikado or satin are widely adored in classic bridal fashion. Rich materials like these as well as silk and crepe contribute to a classic bridal style with their structured appearance and sophisticated shine. Traditional, delicate laces are also used frequently in classic wedding dresses.

Understated Details
Rather than opting for trendy or elaborate embellishments, timeless wedding gowns often feature more subtle details such as modest beadwork, delicate lace, or smaller floral appliques for a bit of texture without overdoing it.
