Gown Trends That Will Inspire
Friday, June 5th, 2009
Every bride wants a wedding gown the makes heads turn and hearts pound. There are so many fabulous designers out there, each with their own personal stamp on the gowns they produce. Here are some great bridal trends from some top designers for 2008.
1. keyhole necklines and spaghetti straps – this is a great place to play with colour
2. flirty sheer fabrics and exquisite beading – these types of gowns fit in with the retro look: flapper-style dresses and geometric draping
3. divine details, prints and sheer overlays – elegant and lush gowns with off-centered bows and asymmetrical lines help these trends really shine
4. scalloped hems and two-tone sweetheart necklines – think girlish couture with a dash of sporty chic mixed in
5. chiffon, draping, ruffles and ruching – a definite focus on femininity with beautiful tulle creations
6. deep v-necks and modified sweethearts – slimming style with soft movement
7. off-the-shoulders, short bubble hems and delicate satin belts – these details can run the gamut: fresh silhouettes to billowy ball gowns
8. belted gowns, ruffled skirts and risqué bustiers – go for over-the-top looks here: bold accessories and striking silhouettes.
Look for the one element your bridal gown must have – whether it’s a deep v-neck or exquisite beading – and use that to help focus your search for the perfect wedding dress.
