Royal and Elegant Wedding Styled Shoot Featuring Princess Wedding Dresses

Wedding Inspo | March 25, 2021
Royal inspired Bridal Vogue Blog Header

Okay, confession time- we often daydream of having princess status and indulging in the royal-inspired lifestyle. Picture it: endless halls with sweeping ceilings and crystal chandeliers, lush secret gardens opened with a gold-plated key, and, of course, a wardrobe solely consisting of elegant gowns with decadent details. Haven’t we all had these regal romance fantasies?  

Our latest styled shoot with Bridal Vogue/The Media Socialites allows us to momentarily escape to this whimsical, fairytale realm. The photoshoot happened at the lavish Anderson House in Washington D.C. We loved the extravagant feel, opulent setting, monochromatic florals, and pops of rich gold and luxe hues! It’s the perfect backdrop to showcase some of our most romantic, divine wedding dresses.

Bring on the maximalism! With our gorgeous personalization options, you can personalize the dress of your dreams to match whatever level of extravagance you please! Overskirts, puff sleeves, extended trains? Yes, please!

This romantic A-Line was made to flourish among the flowers of a lush garden. The lace appliques cascading down the soft tulle skirt is a vision of fairytale magic. Pairs perfectly with loose curls, a sparkling tiara, and a breathtaking floral arch. This wedding dress is the materialization of boho meets royalty. And the best chapter of this wedding gown’s story? Its affordable price tag, to ensure you don’t have to sacrifice your style for budget.

This wedding dress is all about DETAILS, DETAILS, DETAILS. The sparkle comes through in the beaded spaghetti straps and sequin lace motifs, so you’ll be sure to shine under the twinkly moonlight during your first dance. The placement of the lace flatters your waist and accentuates your femme fatale figure. Happily-ever-after tales were made to happen in this wedding dress.

Opt for a subtly sexy moment with an illusion bodice and exposed boning or go for a more classically demure look with a lined bodice. This is just one of the many great examples of how you can personalize your wedding dress to match your personal fancy!

Electric feelings of romance, sensuality, and pure elegance come to life with this wedding dress. The luxe divine crepe and detailed lace prove that opposites do (and should!) attract. The extended scalloped lace illusion train is inspired by grand royal cathedral entrances a la Princess Di.

Plus, we have some exciting news to share, detachable illusion bell-sleeves are available for this style! May we suggest sleeves on for the ceremony, then off for dancing the night away at the reception?  

Our accessories are a great way to achieve that 2-in-1 wedding day look. Detachable overskirts, sleeves, trains, belts, cap-sleeves, jackets, capes, veils – the possibilities are endless! (Are you a vintage-vibe bride? Click here to find your perfect veil.)

Elevated Gown with Precious Pearl Details: Pierce by Sottero and Midgley  

What’s more elegant than a pearl-encrusted A-Line wedding dress? This gown is the epitome of bohemian sophistication. And the matching veil is quite the piece-de-resistance. This style would fit right in among the gold-framed art pieces hanging in the royal grand hall. Regal elegance has never looked so good.  

Let’s Talk Wedding Details 

The extravagant details of this royal-inspired styled shoot accompany our romantic wedding dresses beautifully. Gold accents will never go out of style and will always give richness and depth to any occasion, so we love the gold-hued halls and mirrors. For a moment, we were transported to Paris and Les Versailles. 

  • White floral arch with a white royal inspired cake inside

And we’d be remised if we didn’t talk about those bold, monochromatic flowers and cake. Monochromatic is one of the hottest trends for this year, and for good reason. It gives a statement, while still looking fresh, clean, and polished. For more ideas on how to incorporate your favorite wedding flowers, click here!
