The characteristics of the “Romantic Bride” focus on idealistic passion which can be as elaborate as you like.  Details feature anything which is soft and floaty, captivating in a dreamy sort of way. 

Off-shoulder styles, elaborate puff sleeves, peaked and elongated sleeves, ruffles, pleats, fur, ribbons and gathers.  Gowns can be empire line reminiscent of love stories set in the regency era, falling from just below the bust line in soft folds, A-line or bodice and skirt, the key is to keep it gentle.

Hair can be loose but styled full, soft and tumbling and you may choose to wear or not wear a veil with this look yet still keep within focus of the style. 

Accessories can be minimal and simple but a little different to the norm; this style can successfully be accompanied by a cape and even bridal boots. However, always keep it gentle and delicate to compliment this presentation.

This approach is very suitable for weddings of a semi-formal to formal nature, including church but check with your officiate for the suitability of very low off-shoulder styles.
