Choosing The Right Bow Style For Your Dress

Bridal fashion is already so feminine and wedding dresses with bows just serve to emphasise the lady-like energy even further. In fact, we believe that the very presence of a bow can transform a gown, taking a simple slip wedding dress and transforming it into a bold creative bridal gown. Here’s what we mean…

Bows That Grace The Back: A Trail of Romance

For brides who yearn for a touch of romance and drama, a bow gracing the back of the wedding dress is timeless, elegant, and sophisticated — while also nodding to this playful trend. This design element draws all eyes to a focal point as it trails down the gown, creating a sense of movement. 

Whether it's a subtle, delicate bow accent or a grand, oversized statement piece, the back bow elevates the gown, turning the bride into a walking work of bow-tied art. When crafted from luxurious fabrics like satin, the back bow takes on a lustrous sheen, embodying the essence of classic romance.

Accentuating The Waistline: Embrace A Flattering Fit

A waistline bow is a classic choice for brides seeking a silhouette that flatters and accentuates. Placed strategically at the natural waist, this style of bow cinches the dress, creating a defined and elegant shape. Ideal for A-line minis or ball gown silhouettes, the waistline bow adds a touch of regality and femininity. When paired with lace or tulle, the effect is ethereal, evoking a sense of fairytale romance that transcends trends.

Drama On The Shoulders: Bow Elegance Redefined

For the bold and avant-garde brides, bows adorning the shoulders bring an unexpected and modern twist to traditional wedding attire. This style injects an element of fashion-forward sophistication into the gown, making a bold statement without compromising on elegance. Whether asymmetrically placed or symmetrically adorning both shoulders, this design choice speaks volumes about your sense of style and approach to fashion — it’s all about having fun with the rules.

Paired with modern silhouettes, the shoulder bow transforms the bridal ensemble into a modern-day masterpiece.

Delving Into Fabrics: Crafting The Perfect Bow

The choice of fabric for the bow plays a pivotal role in determining the overall aesthetic of the wedding dress. Satin, with its smooth and glossy texture, exudes a sense of luxury and opulence. When satin bows adorn a gown, they create a visually striking contrast against lace or tulle, offering a harmonious blend of textures. Lace bows invoke a sense of tradition and allure that resonates with timeless romance. Tulle bows bring an ethereal and dreamy quality to the ensemble, softening the overall look and adding a touch of playfulness.
