What could be more apropos than channelling Aphrodite the goddess of love for your walk down the aisle? Indeed, artfully draped strapless and one-shoulder dresses have been popular since antiquity for good reason: they’re utterly romantic and figure flattering. Borrowing from the classic designs of Ancient Greece and the 1930’s creations of French couturière Madame Grès, contemporary fashion designers have put a fresh spin on the goddess gown of old, making this style a massive hit on the runway and the red carpet. And some of the biggest names in bridal—think Reem Acra and Kenneth Pool—are in on the act, too. Arguably, the Grecian gown looks prettiest of all in white. For your very own toga party, choose a flowing wedding dress that’s effortlessly chic and pair it with stylish accessories such as an embellished gladiator sandal, a chunky gold cuff or some laurel leaf earrings. Don this trend-setting look for your wedding day, and your mister will definitely worship the ground you walk on!
Gown, Reem Acra.
