Until recently, tulle was considered passe, very old fashioned, and perhaps just too ’80’s to be considered chic.  But recently I’ve been seeing tulle with a strong comeback.  Some of my brides are finding gowns that are surprisingly modern, unique and yet feminine and princess-y that make them glow with excitement at wearing something so fun and fabulous on their wedding day.  I have to say, I’m impressed with the gown designs that have been coming out, and thought it’d be fun to share.

Plus, doing the fru-fru ballerina thing on your wedding day can be carried out oh-so-fine if done in the right touches, such as some of the cool purses with the right appliques, or shoe embellishments.  If you’re having a soft creamy peach or pale pink palette, this is a great way to incorporate some pearls too, or satin bows.

This look can be both traditional or modern, depending on how you place the details of the day.  Keep the touches small, especially on the tulle end, but do incorporate the ethereal vibe by using sheer fabrics at the church, or great overlays on your linen.

So, if you’re a bit girly to begin with, or find your feminine side as you start planning your wedding, know that tulle is definitely back “in” and can be considered as a very fine option for both your dress and beyond.

Love the Badgley Mischka heels and flats, as well as the black embellishments on the Vera Wang gown.  Valentino makes a great bag, and Spanish designer Rosa Clara makes ballerina worthy frocks.  Tulle necklaces can be made at home, or hired out on Etsy – pearls can be bought or strung yourself.
