Reminiscent of a gentler time in history, the “Victorian Bride” has a taste for refinement and etiquette.
To truly conjure up the image of the Victorian bride it would be rather like imagining a very fine lady taking tea in a garden wearing a beautiful gown.
APPEARANCE DETAILS |
The characteristics of the “Victorian Bride” would include accessories, gloves jewellery and the choice of a hat instead of a veil. The gown would feature plenty of lace and a traditional bustle to finish the look. Parasols are a great accompaniment to this presentation and can be used throughout the bridal party if desired.

This look can also be worn successfully for day or evening and still display the tone of decorum and courtesy which is distinctive of this style.
There are several variations to this manner, depending on how prim and proper you want the image to appear. Bare shoulders gives a more "going to the Opera", evening Victorian look, whereas high collars and long sleeves indicate an additional air of modesty, both which would give you the end result of genteel etiquette .
Keep your bouquet simple and your hair preferably up or a partial updo with the back down.
Pearls team exceptionally well with the Victorian look as do broaches and choker styles.
This approach can be as subtle or precise as you want and it is also very versatile being equally as suitable played up for a semi-formal/formal wedding or played down for a more casual ceremony. |
