Ballet Inspired Wedding Attire

March 9th, 2009

One of the most iconic ballerina fashions is the tulle skirt. While it might be hard to carry off a stiff tutu walking down the aisle, a soft and floating tulle skirt is a beautiful style for a wedding gown. The ethereal layers of netting will make any bride look as though she is practically floating on air. This is a gorgeous choice for a bride at any time of the year.

When it comes to the bodice of your wedding gown, there are several styles that you can borrow from the ballet. Ballerinas often wear the most delicate spaghetti straps to show off their delicate shoulders, and the effect is equally lovely on a bride. Another idea is to wear a wedding gown with a sheer illusion neckline. It is a very demure and refined style.

The delicate nature of ballerina inspired wedding attire calls for equally dainty embellishments. Tiny Swarovski crystals would look absolutely stunning twinkling on the bodice of a bridal gown or even on a short veil. You can even add a few crystals or pearls as accents on your ballet slippers. Choose the embellishment that will look the best with your wedding jewelry.

No matter what your choice for wedding gown, you may want to consider wearing a pair of ballet slippers with your dress. Simple white or pink leather ballet slippers are both comfortable and very affordable. Get them well before the wedding and wear them around the house so that they can mold to your feet. By the day of your ceremony, your ballet slippers will feel like a second skin – perfect for dancing the night away!
