Can you believe we’ve reached the end of the year already? With 2011 at our doorstep, let’s step back and take a look at the best of bridal fashion in 2010. Here’s our top 10 wedding dress trends in 2010 we’d like to see continue in 2011.
1. Wedding dresses with sleeves – after many years of strapless wedding gown styles, it’s nice to see variations of the covered shoulders.
2. Wedding dresses with pockets – when beauty and practicality meets, the bride wins!
3. Peplum wedding gowns – a boon for brides with narrow hips, this ladylike accent accentuates the waist and gives an illusion of curves.
4. Crumb catcher neckline – boost in the bust department with cleverly placed pleats.
5. Mermaid, empire and sheath wedding dresses – move over A-line, the figure hugging wedding dress is here to stay.
6. Ball gown wedding dresses – the fuller silhouette is also making a big comeback.
7. Draped wedding gowns – most brides can benefit from the use of form-flattering drapes around the bodice or waist.
8. Color wedding dresses – a blush of rose, a touch of peach, a hint of baby blue –- or a little metallic sheen –- make beautiful alternatives to white and ivory.
9. Short wedding dresses – the shorter hemline is fab and fun and the perfect way to show off your shoes.
10. Romantic wedding dresses – multiple tiers, airy tulles, lovely lace, blooming rosettes, romantic ruffles, feminine flounces, luxurious layering and sparkling sequins. It’s time for pretty!
