12 Beautiful Ball Gowns for Weddings
Nothing says “I’m getting married” like a beautiful ball gown with a big billowing skirt. The most formal type of dress, ball gowns usually reach all the way down to the ground or further. Made of tulle, lace, and luxurious fabrics, the skirt increases in fullness from the waist down which makes it wonderful for twirling around the dance floor and gliding down the aisle.
Although ball gowns have kept most of their characteristics since the mid 1800s, today’s brides have better options when it comes to showing off their personal style.
