Timeless and expressive wedding dresses for your big day / Styling by Lauren Kozakiewicz / Hair and makeup by Kat Sterrett / Photography by Charlie Wrzesniewski / Modeling by Hannah Krumholtz for Q Model Management / Shot on location at the Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia
There are trends and there are classics. And every now and then, we like to stick with tradition—especially when we can do so with a modern twist. Here, you’ll find luxurious styles with an iconic aesthetic, like a seemingly endless tulle train or a gorgeous beaded gown. In fact, these timeless wedding dresses we photographed at the Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia take big-day fashion to a new level.
