All brides want to feel like the most beautiful version of themselves on their wedding day, and we find that the best way to make that happen is to find a key element that elevates your confidence to new heights!
Enter the basque waist wedding dress, a highly flattering trend that’s been taking the bridal fashion world by storm. It creates a stunning hourglass silhouette by extending the bodice into a deep v or even a u shape below the natural waist. It’s perfect for brides who crave an elegant, regal, and timeless look while still feeling chic and modern.
For today’s blog, we’re highlighting some of our favorite basque waist wedding gowns based on what bridal style you’re leaning towards:
For The Romantic Bride
Romantic brides tend to prefer dresses with a soft, ethereal quality to them. Fabrics like tulle and chantilly lace, floral appliques, and lace sleeves are all beautiful elements for this style. You might lean towards A-line silhouettes or even ball gowns for a traditional touch. Romantic brides seek to embody a dreamy and effortlessly beautiful aesthetic that makes them feel timeless on their wedding day.

For The Minimalist Bride
Minimalist brides lean toward wedding dresses with classic silhouettes and clean lines, with a focus on high quality fabrics like crepe, silk, or satin that drape beautifully. They appreciate the subtlety in small details like delicate buttons or sleek cutouts, and prefer a focus on impeccable tailoring and fit over bold embellishments. The goal here is to allow your natural beauty to shine through.

For The Vintage Inspired Bride
If you love vintage inspired gowns, you probably seek unique details and timeless romance in a dress, appreciating little elements like beadwork and intricate lacework inspired by bygone eras like the 20s, 50s, or 70s. Vintage inspired brides prefer softer colors like champagne or ivory and appreciate features like illusion necklines, covered buttons, and delicate embroidery to create a look that’s romantic and personal.

For The Polished Bride
Polished, classic brides tend to like wedding dresses with a luxurious quality to them, featuring fabrics like silk, satin, or tulle, with clean silhouettes like A-lines or sheaths. They often choose details like a bold but simple neckline or a defined waist (such as the basque!) and either minimal embellishments or rich details like beading that are of the utmost quality. The goal is a look that’s intentional and elegant, with a focus on craftsmanship and feeling sophisticated rather than overly trendy.
