Balletcore, a trend that channels the soft, feminine nature, feels reliving after a long period of prevalence of a raging color palette drawn from Barbiecore. And this is not only for brides and bridesmaids. Spring/Summer Men’s Fashion Week was just as full of light purple, lilac, orchid lavender, and mauve hues.
Underlining delicate beauty and refinement and filled with romantic elements, balletcore draws inspiration from ballet. Just as a French impressionist, Edgar Degas, found beauty in this activity and perpetuated this obsession throughout his life, balletcore now attracts people to incorporate ballet-related stylistics into their everyday lives and special occasions.
Balletcore is an ideal aesthetic for a dreamy wedding. The characteristic feel of this trend can be achieved by tying in romantic decorative details like bows, ribbons, and layered fabrics. It’s high time to forget the recent years’ quiet luxury’s «anti-bling» philosophy. Vamp up delicate colors used in balletcore with forthcoming forms, such as ballet slippers, bows, leotards, and tutus. Don’t avoid tulle, delicate lace, silk ribbons, and hand-embroidered fabrics. Along with drawing color inspiration from Degas’ paintings, a color palette should incorporate shades often seen in ballet performances, such as blush hues, light pinks, creams, and neutrals. You can also pick white, subtle hues of purple and classic blacks.
Wedding invitations can return to their original feel: feminine touches and delicate cursive scripts. Luckily for those getting married in 2024, you can’t go wrong by choosing a ballet-inspired wedding dress; your childhood wedding ideas will not only play out freely but will also be considered fashionable. So while this Radiant Arrival Shiny Pink Organza Tiered Tie-Strap Maxi Dress by Lulus would probably be ridiculed a few years ago, this year is all about puffy forms and blush hues all over the place. Having a balletcore trend in mind, all that’s left is perfecting a color palette and sourcing noble textures to fill out the picture.
