Jumpsuits are Beautiful TIMELESS FASHION... See How Updated They Are

Take a moment to picture a bride making her way down the aisle on her wedding day. What do you see? Chances are, you imagine her in a white gown and veil, perhaps with a long train following behind her, carrying a bouquet of flowers as she eagerly looks towards her soon-to-be spouse at the front of the venue.

While this traditional image of a bride is common, it is not the only option. Now, envision a bride turning the corner to begin her journey down the aisle. Instead of a classic cathedral-style dress, she is wearing a bold, modern jumpsuit. With each confident step, she owns the aisle like a runway as she heads towards her partner. Would this unexpected twist surprise you? Probably.

Contrary to popular belief, white wedding dresses were not always the way to go. Earlier wedding trends were both culturally and economically driven. Many Eastern cultures dressed brides in specific colors or clothing styles in order to honor religious and cultural heritage.

Western cultures, on the other hand, favored more economic choices; brides usually got married in the best dress they currently owned, so it could be any color, style, or pattern. Those traditions started to shift in the mid-1800s.

When Queen Victoria of England married her husband, Prince Albert in 1840, she opted to wear a white gown with finely detailed British lace to promote the national industry. (JStor)   Her economic choice set a precedent for brides everywhere, and soon cultures around the world were flocking to white wedding gowns with stunning veil and flower combinations. By the end of the twentieth century, Victoria had cemented the bridal gown as an unbreakable tradition in the wedding world.

However, modern bridal experts say this trend has been changing in the wedding industry for many years. “As bridal wear is evolving, so is what [brides-to-be] are wearing,” Lien Founder and Designer Merredith Stoecklein said in a recent interview. She notes that “the right style and fabric can be elevated but still comfortable,” meaning that a bride wanting a non-traditional look can rock a jumpsuit and still feel classy, chic, and elegant. Sleek, embellished, bohemian, couture: all of these styles are available in affordable and stunning jumpsuits that make a statement on your wedding day.

Even better, jumpsuits can easily be re-worn at other formal events or dressed up or down to meet your daily needs. Whether pared down and simple or ornate and dramatic, jumpsuits and pantsuits are available in a variety of styles and silhouettes to suit every bride .
