18 Ultra Romantic Ball Gown Wedding Dresses

Fashion & Jewellery

The ballgown has been synonymous with ‘Fairytale’ weddings since most of us can remember, and although they might not be seen as the trendiest dresses at the moment, there’s no denying they’re the most romantic of gowns in all the land! The traditional corset and meringue has come a long way over the years and the ‘new ballgown’ is all about keeping things light and airy – think soft tulle, feathers, ruffles and lots and lots of layers. For an even more contemporary take on the look, opt for long sleeves or an open back. There are some stunning fashion-forward ballgowns from Rosa Clara with heavy jumper-style tops that balance huge tulle skirts and look incredible for winter weddings, but most heavy ballgowns can look super in the summer too – check out the photos below for inspiration!
