Whats Hot in Bridal Gowns – 2011 Trends Sneak Peek
With Spring just around the corner and designers about to reveal their new fall lines, there is a light at the end of the tunnel for brides who are not sure they want to go strapless.
Did you notice it at the Oscars? A little sleeve here and there. Not long, puffy leg-o-mutton sleeves like the 1980′s (God forbid) or severe turtleneck dresses like the 1970′s. Just a little something to comfort the bride who is not sure she is ready to bare her shoulders completely.
For years, the strapless bridal gown has dominated the runways and magazine pages as the ‘style choice’ for nearly every major designer for over a decade, couture and otherwise. This spring, that could all change.
Although strapless gowns are still the majority shareholders of our attention and account for most bridal gown silhouettes, I counted 10 of the top 50 Knot Picks for favorite wedding dresses as having some sort of strap or sleeve. If you’re counting at home, that is about 10 more than this time last year.
What does this mean to the bride-to-be? The sky’s the limit and the choice is once again, yours. The designers have heard your voices, asking for “something on top” and they have responded by giving you exactly what you want. Maybe its a modesty issue, maybe its a matter of taste, perhaps you have a figure concern and feel strapless is not the right choice for you. We get it – and now we know that designers all over the world (from haute couture to the most affordable) will be showing you what you have begged for… a little coverage.
That’s not to say strapless has gone by the wayside – quite the contrary. The strapless gowns that we see today seem to magically camouflage some of the most common figure flaws. Built- in bras, petticoats, corsets, these things take away the guesswork and the end result is a gown that makes you look and feel like a million bucks on your wedding day.
Each week at Bridal Expo you can see the hottest looks in bridal and attendant gowns straight from the designer’s runways to ours.
