So you’re engaged (yay!) and it’s finally time to find the dress. But as you scroll through Pinterest boards and try to figure out if you’re more Meghan Markle or Sofia Richie, one big question might keep popping up: Should I go modern or classic with my wedding dress?

The good news is that there’s no wrong answer - just the one that feels the most you. At First Look Attire, we carry styles that speak to both timeless romantics and bold trendsetters alike. Let’s break it down, dress by dress.

For the Modern Bride

Madison James – MJ1119
If you want drama and elegance, MJ1119 is your girl. This modern ball gown is crafted from luster Mikado, giving it that smooth, fashion-forward sheen. The softly cowled sweetheart neckline adds a touch of softness, while the peekaboo pearl beading gives it just the right amount of glam.

Martin Thornburg – MT8104MKD
Looking for clean lines with a sultry twist? This trumpet silhouette gown brings serious modern energy with its Mikado skirt and allover lace bodice. The dropped waist elongates your frame, while the strapless sweetheart neckline keeps things flirty.

For the Classic Bride

Allure Bridals – A1302
A1302 is proof that simplicity can be absolutely stunning. This Chantilly lace sheath gown is the epitome of classic bridal beauty. The tapered neckline and delicate lace fabric create a soft, romantic look that never goes out of style.

Enchanting by Mon Cheri – E406
For a bride who wants to honor tradition but still sparkle a little - E406 is your match. The allover lace, beading, and sequin details feel vintage-inspired, but the mermaid silhouette and spaghetti straps give it a modern update.

Remember: this isn’t about picking the “right” style - it’s about choosing a gown that makes you feel amazing. And if you find yourself loving a bit of both? That’s totally okay too! In fact, we might have just the perfect dress to blend the two.
