Tradition: A Reversion to Classical Elegance
There has be a growing trend towards the lace wedding dress. In her 2011 wedding to Prince William, Kate Middleton showed the world the value of old elegance and the beauty in "covering up."
Over the past decade, while music may be crazier, the tabloids more exposing, and the culture more liberal on "socially acceptable" practices, the wedding has seen a shift back in time. At the beginning of the 21st century, brides embraced the strapless, satin wedding gown. True, they were beautiful, but old-fashioned lace is hard to surpass. I look at pictures from my grandmothers' weddings and marvel at the class and elegance in their wedding attire and environment. Sometimes I wish I could go back to those days and attend a wedding in the Forties or Fifties. I must admit, that although I love the glamour and glitz of the 21st century, I am excited about a potential reversion to lace, modesty, and simple elegance in the wedding.
