What is the Old Money Vibe for Weddings?
First things first, what exactly is the old money vibe? Imagine the elegance of Audrey Hepburn, the grace of Grace Kelly, and the timeless style of Jackie Kennedy. It’s all about looking effortlessly chic, with an emphasis on quality over flashiness. Old money fashion is subtle, refined, and eternally stylish. It’s about exuding confidence and grace without shouting it from the rooftops.
Our Classic Old Money Vibe Silhouettes
When it comes to old money wedding dresses, classic silhouettes are your best friends. Here are a few stunning options you’ll find in our collection:
1. The A-Line Dress :
Universally flattering, this silhouette cinches at the waist and flows out gracefully. It’s perfect for twirling on the dance floor and gives off a regal vibe. For example the Ellis from Essense Of Australia features the classic A-line silhouette with exquisite structure and luxurious fabric, with an expensive simplicity oozing as an aesthetic…
2. The Ball Gown:
Channel your inner princess with a ball gown that has a fitted bodice and a full skirt. Dramatic yet timeless, ideal for a grand, elegant wedding. The Maura from Milla Nova is a beautiful example of the stunning old money ball gown vibe – we have even more for you to try on in our Birmingham Wedding Dress Shop so book your appointment to visit us…
3. The Sheath Dress:
For the minimalist bride, our sheath dresses offer a sleek and sophisticated look. They skim the body and are crafted from luxurious fabrics like silk and satin. This look is the perfect way to channel the old money aesthetic for a city or destination wedding. We love The Maxwell by Martina Liana for channelling the old money aesthetic for a city or destination wedding…
Old Money Wedding Aesthetic: Luxe Fabrics
Old money fashion is all about the fabrics. Here’s a taste of the opulent materials used in our dresses:
- Silk: Smooth, glossy, and utterly luxurious. Our silk gowns drape beautifully and feel divine against the skin.
- Lace: Delicate and romantic, lace adds a vintage touch to any dress. We offer gowns with Chantilly and Alençon lace for that extra touch of elegance.
- Satin: With its subtle sheen and structured drape, satin is perfect for creating a timeless, sophisticated look.
Timeless Details
It’s the little things that count when you’re going for that old money vibe. Here are some timeless details you’ll love in our dresses:
1. Buttons:
Covered buttons down the back of your dress add a vintage, refined touch. The Hilda from Rebecca Ingram features stunning button details:
2. Sleeves:
Long sleeves or cap sleeves can give your dress an elegant, old-world charm. Think Grace Kelly’s iconic wedding dress for example. We love the contemporary styling of The Joan from Martina Liana for the ultimate in sleeves:
3. Veils:
A cathedral-length veil adds drama and sophistication. For a vintage touch, consider a lace-trimmed veil. We have a wide range of veils in our boutique for you to try with your perfect gown. Our trained stylists will help you to match the right train with your chosen dress that will perfectly compliment the old money aesthetic.
Colours Beyond White
While white is traditional, old money brides aren’t afraid to experiment with subtle shades such as ivory – A classic choice that’s softer than stark white and exudes warmth. Champagne is a colour that has a beautiful, vintage feel and complements a variety of skin tones. And for a hint of romance, a blush wedding dress is delicate and feminine. We love the Vanessa from Dama Couture:
