Bridal gowns for mature women

If you are no longer in your twenties or thirties when the wedding bells are about to ring, you will want to select one of the bridal gowns that will fit your age and more mature style.

Ladies in their forties often prefer semi-formal or designer bridal gowns. Special occasion dresses or evening garments may be more suitable than the fairy tale princess type dresses. Women in their fifties often select from the Mother of Bride collections which have just as much style as the other garments in our collection.

Silk or satin are always popular choices when it comes to the fabrics used in wedding dresses for more mature women. Selecting the colour is often one of the most difficult of choices. In this regard the colors eggshell, ecru, burgundy or even ivory will suit the occasion well. What should be remembered is that certain styles will simply not fit the more mature body. As such you can speak to one of our consultants who will be able to guide you through the various styles suitable for your age, body, and the type of wedding.

As with younger brides the length of the bride, the bust size, waistline, and the weight must also be considered. We recommend that you browse through our online collection for a classical dress or one of the bridal gowns that can be converted to a special occasion dress.

Once you have identified a few garments that fit your taste, you can contact us to help you decide on the most appropriate attire. If you already have an idea in mind simply select one of the bridal gowns of choice. Feel free to visit one of our boutiques in Pretoria or Johannesburg where you will not only find more collections, but also a variety of other dresses such as the Mother of bride garments.
