This season’s bridal gowns are reflecting new looks that one
fashion writer termed “More Kate and less Kim”.
Many gowns are reflecting more traditional looks and a bit of classic
charm.
Gowns are showing more coverage. Not necessarily Kate Middleton’s long
sleeves, but cap sleeves are being shown along with illusion necklines for
those brides who want more coverage than strapless gowns provide.
Longer veils are back in vogue after being absent for a
period. In a survey of brides 75%
reported they plan to wear a veil with preferences for floor length or longer.
Many brides are selecting plainer gowns with less “bling”
and focusing on fabulous accessories like jewelry and expensive shoes. More and more brides are choosing colored
shoes with blue a popular choice.
Some brides are including “costume changes” in their
selection of the wedding gown. One gown
is chosen for the formal ceremony and either adaptations are made in that gown
for the reception and dance or a second and more informal gown is worn for the
reception.
We are also seeing bridesmaids in white thanks to
Pippa. All white weddings have been
appearing in areas, but more brides are choosing the mono theme for spring and
summer.
Brides continue to create a personalized wedding with
signature color (s), monogrammed items, and motifs to set and reinforce the
theme of the event.
What is your view of your ideal wedding gown?
