We could not be more
thrilled as the incredible gowns we found at Bridal Market have started pouring in. As we anxiously await the arrival of the last few, we wanted to recap the
fabulous trends that you'll see in these beautiful gowns!
Voluminous Skirts with Horsehair
"What in the world is
horsehair," you might ask. It's a design element of crinoline nylon that
add volume and shape to bridal gown skirts without weight or stiffness. The
effect is beautiful, flowy movement that creates an airy, romantic feeling.
These wispy hemlines are also a great way to bring in a touch of whimsy!
Stylish Coverage
Practical and fabulous,
jackets, shawls and capes are very hot. Whether made of fur (real or faux),
lace or tulle, these stylish accessories offer brides the perfect coverage
solution to keep them warm when necessary. They also provide versatility to
brides interested in two different looks for ceremony and reception without
having to purchase two separate gowns.
Off-the-Shoulder Neckline
This sexy yet romantic
neckline is perfect for the bride looking to put a touch of va-va-voom into her
wedding day look without going over-the-top. Ladies' collarbones are so lovely
and the off-the-shoulder neckline is flattering to all women, showing just the
right amount of skin. We prefer the styles that are structured without being
too restrictive.
Illusion
Backs, necklines and
sleeves - oh my! Illusion details are everywhere again and the result is sheer
romance. Some of the illusion elements are so delicate, it is hard to see them
until very close. Others are punctuated with beautiful embellishments such as
appliques, lace and crystals. The result is elegant, soft and oh-so-romantic.
Long Coordinating Veils
Our philosophy is that a
veil is the crowning glory of a bride, the finishing touch that completes her
wedding day look. Several bridal gown designers feel the same way and are now
creating veils to coordinate with their most popular gown styles. These
stunning, cathedral-length veils add to the bride's ensemble without overtaking
the gown. Simply breath-taking!

Feminine Metallic Laces
Lace is beautiful, elegant
and feminine, but pair it with some metallic elements and you've got a
fashion-forward, edgy vibe that is still chic and romantic. Absolutely fabulous!
From bold gold to subtle silver, metallic laces are a stylish and gorgeous way
to set yourself apart from the bridal white crowd.
Subtle Color
Speaking of departing from
bridal white, soft color is still very in. Gowns in blushes, baby blues and champagnes
can be so very gorgeous and are universally flattering on all skin tones. These
subtle shades bring warmth and uniqueness to a bride's wedding day style
without being overpowering or distracting.
You simply must come in to experience these fabulous trends and beautiful gowns for yourself! Keep up with our arrivals via Facebook, Instagram and Twitter so you can make your appointment when the gowns you want to see come in. Some quick tips to keep in mind as you seek your perfect gown:
- Allow yourself six to eight months' lead time. Gowns take four to five months to make, and you'll want to consider alterations time (allow four to six weeks) and time for a bridal portrait (about two months) if you're taking one.
- Bridal gown sample sizes in the store are typically size 10. Bridal gown sizing is also different from "street sizes" so a bridal gown sample size will probably not translate to a regular size 10. Bridal stylists are experts at helping brides see how the gown will actually fit when trying on, using tools and tricks of the trade.
- Even though your bridal gown will be made according to your measurements, you should expect that at least some alterations will need to be made. At a minimum, you might need a nip and tuck here and there and possibly adjust the length. Expect it, accept it and trust the experts. Again, alterations take four to six weeks, depending on the extent of what needs to be altered.
