A classic style with vintage flair, check out these gowns topped with portrait necklines. There’s an elegance and sophistication around these designs that all brides, of any age, would feel good in.
They work well within the confines of a wedding inspired by old Hollywood glamour or an old-age spirit. They would also work well within more traditional stylings or those with a fairytale celebration in mind. Classic has made a turn though, classic isn’t boring – instead, it’s fashion-forward and timeless.
