Ah, the ballgown. Doesn’t the thought of it just bring forth your childhood princess dreams? I opted out for my own nuptials but that doesn’t detract from my pure adoration for a poofy skirt. Despite the year and the fact that traditional, 80’s-style skirts are pretty much outdated at this point, I promise you can get that princess volume you seek and make it work in a modern way. Some inspo is below… And a word to those who love matching. I totally get it, but you are going to need to tone your spouse down a bit to make the ballgown shine. Suggest a simple, sleek tux or summer suit for the groom, avoiding dizzying patterns or pure whites. Or, if you’re marrying the girl of your dreams, perhaps she’ll don a sheath to create a nice balance between your two gowns. I mean, maybe she’s a princess, too… but just make sure the two looks don’t fight for center stage! You’ll find a lot more ballgowns on my Pinterest board, Modern Fairytale Wedding.
