6 CLASSY WEDDING DRESSES FOR THE SOPHISTICATED BRIDE

Whether you're in the midst of finding your dream dress or just getting started, you've come to the right place! We know that so much goes into finding “the one” (and no, we’re not talking about the person you choose to spend the rest of your life with). 

With so many trends coming and going, finding a dress that fits your vision can be challenging. If you’re looking for something that epitomizes sophistication, elegance, and class, you’re in luck. We want to help you find the perfect dress of your dreams, so we’re rounding up some beautiful, classy wedding dresses for the sophisticated bride.

Here are 6 classy wedding dress ideas and inspiration:

1. Rosa Clara

There’s nothing more timeless than a high-neck, subtle lace gown. With a full skirt and bow detail on the low-cut back, it will make any bride feel like a true newlywed. Alexandra paired the Rosa Clara dress with a cathedral veil to complete the look, and we couldn’t love the look more.

Check out Alexandra’s beautiful royal style wedding gallery.

2. Ines Di Santo

If you love the Rosa Clara wedding dress shown above, then you’re sure to love Ines Di Santo. Ines has been creating beautiful gowns for over three decades, focusing on exquisitely handcrafted embroidery and fine European fabrics. Dresses like Melody, Canto, and Ostinato offer full a-line skirts similar to Alexandra’s while also giving you a flair for the dramatics with floral appliques and patterns and deeper necklines.

3. Chanel 

When many people envision luxurious wedding dresses, they picture classic gowns that you would find in a fairytale. And while these dresses are beautiful, we understand that they’re not for everyone. Take Molly, for example. She was a Chanel bride from head to toe, but her gown had a little extra oomph thanks to the one-shoulder neckline and subtle ruffled tiers at the bottom.

4. Oscar De La Renta

Did you like the Chanel dress shown above? One look at Oscar De La Renta’s fall 2024 collection, and you’ll be ready to say yes to the dress. Whether you’re looking for something a little less fitted than Molly’s gown or you love the idea of wearing something sleek that shows off your figure, this collection has a gown for you. Choose from over-the-top bows, full skirts with subtle floral details, flower-like ruffled sleeves, or a cowl neckline that gives off the appearance of a one-shoulder, similar to Molly.

5. KittyChen Couture

Long-sleeved wedding gowns are one of the easiest ways to look elegant, and to say that Amy looked beautiful would be an understatement. Her KittyChen Couture gown showed off a little skin without being too much, thanks to a nude lining and well-placed v-neck illusion. And while we can’t get enough of these small details, the true star of the show was her long, sweeping cathedral train. Not only does this add an element of “wow” to your bridal look, but it also makes for incredible photo ops.

6. Pronovias

Did you love the KittyChen Couture dress? While there are so many designers out there who could help you achieve the same look, we can’t get enough of Pronovias. With more than 100 stores across 100 different countries, Pronovias has done an incredible job of making a name for itself in the wedding world. For those looking for a luxury gown that will stand the test of time, look at Atelier Pronovias, the company’s higher-end gowns. Looking to push the limits a bit like Amy? The CHERET gown might be right up your alley. LUSH offers the same gorgeous lace sleeves paired with a structured corset bodice and princess silhouette. No matter what you envision, Pronovias has a gown for you.
