With the ever-changing seasons comes an array of trends in the bridal world. This year, for spring and summer bridal gowns, intricate details, interesting touches, and changes in length are at the top of the trend pyramid. There is nothing plain or boring about the dresses in bridal stores and boutiques this season.
It’s details, details, details for spring and summer bridal gowns this year. Jeweled details can either add a little sparkle or a lot of drama, depending on what your preference is. For a subtle elegance, add a little beading to your veil or the waist of your gown. If you prefer more glitter, look for a gown with head to toe beading or embroidery. Keyhole backs are another great trend that can add a touch of elegance to your gown. Lace accented cut-out backs gives your gown a glamorous, old Hollywood feel.
For a more unique touch, ditch the beading and look for a gown with a bolder detail. Peplums are very trendy in fashion right now, so why not try a bridal gown with one? They give your gown a classic touch, while still being interesting. If one peplum just isn’t enough, try a gown with layered tiers for added volume, without having to wear a ball gown. Three dimensional floral designs are also blooming in the bridal gown industry. These 3-D flowers are a pretty addition to a gown, that go great with the beautiful surroundings of spring.
Perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind when choosing a spring or summer bridal gown is the weather. Since spring can have unpredictably cold weather, as we have seen this year so far, a gown with sleeves can be both beautiful and practical. For the hot summer weather, experiment with a gown that is cut above the knee, or try a trendy hi-low cut gown.
