Wedding Gown Trends
Most people think wedding gowns are only white. But wedding gown trends and styles are pretty distinct and they change every year. Remember puffy sleeves from the 1980s? Well, we don’t see a lot of those designs these days in Niagara Falls, but that’s not to say the trend will never return. Nowadays, more simplistic designs and silhouettes are the most fashionable option for brides-to-be. If you want, you can find out more about the different types of silhouettes here. Of course, it’s all down to personal preference and if you want to bring back the puffy sleeves then go for it, gal! If you’re getting married this year, the latest gowns for next spring were recently unveiled on the runways in New York. There are a few clear trends that have emerged, from pale hues to lace sleeves, but the overall sense is gorgeous.
Off-the-Shoulder
The off-the-shoulder neckline is a truly romantic style and it’s a great option for brides who want the feel of a sleeve, but not an overpowering one.
Got Your Back
During your ceremony, you will spend the majority of your time facing away from your guests and designers have, for the past few years, been focusing a lot of attention on the back of a gown. We’re seeing the trend of striking illusion backs continue, but this year, barebacks are also gaining in popularity, from open, draped, and scooped cowls. Some designers are also adding delicate crystals and lace to accentuate that plunging backline. Emerging designers and wedding websites have a wide array of designs that can make you look your best on the most important day of your life. While in London, you could look for online wedding dresses uk on websites like Aeternum Bridal and get your perfect dress for your perfect day!
Pale Hues
While we’ve seen bold colours emerge through reds and blacks for years, non-traditional romantic pale blues, greys, peach, pink and mint gowns are now floating down the runways.
Detailed and Exquisite
Just like with most things in life, it’s the details that count. The same goes for wedding gowns. This season, gowns are resplendent with sparking appliqué, pearl detail and oversized bows.
Lace Sleeves
This trend began after Kate Middleton walked down the aisle several years ago and it looks as though there’s no stopping it – Kim Kardashian also walked down the aisle in a lace sleeve gown at her recent wedding. Whether it’s a three-quarter length, cap or long sleeve, lace is hot!
Of Note
Noted L.A. designer Claire Pettibone (Facebook founder Mark Zuckerber wed Priscilla Chan in a Claire Pettibone gown) has unveiled a more affordable collection entitled Romantique. Gowns are priced from $1,500 to $2,800 US and began arriving in stores for Spring 2015 weddings.
