Want to ensure a fashion-forward look for your upcoming 2009 or 2010
wedding? From sleek silhouettes to mini-dresses and tiered gowns, these
latest looks for wedding gowns will help you put your best fashion foot
forward to get you down the aisle in style.
Sleek Silhouettes
Slim is the silhouette of choice for the modern wedding dress - as
sheaths, trumpets, and column wedding dresses ruled the runways. Don´t
fret if you´ve always dreamed of donning a billowy ball gown, however,
as this traditional style never goes out of style.
Colorful Details
Modern brides are experimenting with color to tie their ensembles into
the color scheme. Adding a splash of color to the basic white gown
remains popular through colorful sashes and appliqué details, or more
dramatically through two-toned wedding gowns with a colored bodice
against a white or off-white skirt.
High Hemlines
Not afraid to show a little leg, today´s brides are embracing the
tea-length and mini shift dresses that have become de rigueur in nearly
every wedding dress designer´s latest collections. The trend makes
sense for destination weddings calling for laid back attire and brides
opting to don a second dress for dancing the night away at the
reception.
Tiered Skirts
Whether chiffon, tulle, organza, or even feathers – layers of fabric
are the newest major detail designers are playing with to create soft,
yet dramatic gowns. This flowing style is perfect for the bride who is
a romantic at heart.
Floaty Fabrics
Dresses weighted down by heavy crepes, matte satins and silks are
lightening up to fabrics like taffeta and organza. These airy fabrics
are easy to layer and more comfortable for a gown worn for up to 10
hours. And for brides having a summer wedding, donning a lighter fabric
will ensure they´re glowing – not sweaty and red-faced - on their
wedding day.
One Shoulder
This asymmetrical look is a hot fashion trend that has crossed over
into the bridal world to update the basic strapless gown. Carrying a
simple, no fuss vibe, the one shoulder gown is a great option for a
destination wedding. Bonus points for those blessed with toned limbs,
as this neckline shows off the upper arms and shoulders.
Practical Pockets
Having graced gowns for a few seasons, pockets remain hot in 2009. The
style lends a casual vibe for relaxed events, and – perhaps best of all
– it´s practical too, allowing brides to keep essentials like lip gloss
or tissues on hand throughout the day.
