The Evolution of Romantic Bridal Wear: Classic Romance vs. Modern Femininity

Romantic wedding dresses have always been a favourite for brides, but what feels romantic has changed over time. Traditionally, romance has meant delicate lace, flowing tulle, soft fabrics and feminine silhouettes. Today, those details are still loved, but brides are interpreting romance in a much more modern and personal way.

Classic Romance

Classic romantic bridalwear is all about timeless details. Think delicate lace, flowing skirts, soft fabrics and beautifully feminine silhouettes. These are the details that have made romantic wedding dresses so popular for generations and continue to create that unmistakably bridal feeling.


A beautiful example of classic romance, combining delicate detailing with a feminine silhouette for that timeless bridal look.


Soft, elegant and effortlessly romantic, this style brings together traditional bridal details with a flattering, feminine shape.

Modern Romance

Modern romantic bridalwear takes those traditional details and gives them a contemporary feel. Instead of lots of embellishment, romance might come from a simple silhouette, a delicate lace detail, an unexpected neckline or the movement of a beautiful fabric.


A more modern take on romance, with a clean silhouette balanced by delicate detailing that keeps the look soft and feminine.

At Peggy, we love that there isn't one definition of a romantic wedding dress. Some brides are drawn to dramatic, fairytale-inspired gowns, while others prefer something simple with one beautiful detail. The important thing is finding the style that feels like you.

If you're looking for something soft, feminine and romantic, our Allure Romance collection is a great place to start exploring. You can discover the collection below.
