Say goodbye to the traditional full-length wedding gowns and say hello to short and sassy bridal couture. In up coming seasons short dresses will not only be seen as destination wedding dresses but brides will begin wearing this fashionable style for receptions and formal weddings. Almost every bridal designer has sent a short dress down the runway this season including Oscar de la Renta and Vera Wang.
Another trend that has been seen coming down the runways is colored wedding gowns. Designers are beginning to drift away from the traditional white, ivory, or crème gowns and adding a bold, sophistication of color such as green, red, gold, lilac, or pink wedding gowns. Designers feel that color gives each dress a sense of originality and glamour.
Over the past year, we have also seen many brides jazzing up their wedding day accessories with colorful heels. Many brides are incorporating their shoe color to compliment the colors of their wedding. This trend is becoming more and more popular, and is being featured with many dresses on the designer bridal runways. This trend began to become very popular after Sarah Jessica Parker wore blue Manolo Blahnik pumps during her wedding day bliss in “Sex and the City: The Movie.”

Coming back from the past, lace is making its way back into fashion. Everyone used to go for simple elegance with clean lines, but lace is being incorporated into multiple wedding accessories. We can see it on gowns, invitations, and even cakes! The sophistication of lace will be sure to make the bride feel like royalty. It has a unique texture which is another growing trend in the fashion world. Textures tend to add a lot of character to any type of couture. But the best thing about lace is that it's adaptable to both a traditional and modern feel - so it doesn't look like a 1950s wedding dress. If the theme seems too busy or overly feminine, add just a trim of lace to the decor. It's all about the details!
Here are a few ways to incorporate lace into the wedding:
- Cake--Line the cake with lace, instead of the usual satin ribbon.
- Veil
- Bouquet--Wrap lace ribbon or trimming around your bouquet.
- Table runners
- Invitations, save the dates, place cards
- Garter
- Decor: vases, candles
