Make Your Wedding Day Unforgettable With These Tips
The spirit of the times is decidedly retro. Old fashioned and historically-themed wedding gowns are a big trend for 2011. It’s a look outside the box of the typical modern wedding attire, with the plantation-inspired gowns of Gone with the Wind, and bustle-style dresses worn with spectator hats.
You’ll also notice some other stand-out styles for this year’s walk-down-the-aisle season. Fashion-forward brides will show more skin. Short wedding dresses can be chic, elegant and a bit more unique than floor-length gowns. Lengths range from super mini and mini to just at the knee. This is a great look for brides with the right style and body type. Also extremely popular this summer are strapless, one-shoulder or off the shoulder gowns. The one-shoulder trend is perfect classic alternative to strapless, which isn’t always flattering to the upper body.
Romance is back in this season’s bridal collection, with lots of floral touches. Some gowns are designed to emulate a giant flower, while others are resplendent with roses, silk petals and flowers of all varieties. Don’t be surprised if you see a bride gliding down the aisle in a gown completely adorned by rose buds.
The soft, sleek, goddess-like silhouettes you’ll also see this summer are in contrast to oversized ball gown-inspired bridal dress. The bridal industry is moving toward much less fabric and beading and a lot more simplicity and understated elegance.
There are so many styles out there to choose from, brides are to be congratulated for settling on one. It’s not easy to play favorites when faced with so many gorgeous gowns, but a girl’s gotta choose. Now that you’ve gained some stylish insight, enjoy the celebration and splendid fashions, and don’t forget to take notes for the next wedding you’re in!
