Wedding Gown Trends

Wedding Gown

2011 might seem like a long way off, but bridal gown designers are already hard at work creating the beautiful styles which brides next year will all be coveting. Set to debut in a few months, the first crop of 2011 gowns are embellished with many dimensional details, lots of handstitched crystals, and large floral appliques. Take a sneak peek into the romantic style of the latest wedding gown trends.

For the last few seasons, ruffles have been one of the biggest ways that designers have chosen to add volume and visual interest to their gowns. The bridal gowns which are set to debut soon move away from the ruffle trend, but not from the idea of using embellishments to add volume and femininity. Instead of ruffles, look for gowns with hundreds of tiny three dimensional flowers stitched all over them. Soft petals are another favorite decoration for the romantic gowns for 2011. Oversized clusters of flower "corsages" are another big trend, and they are primarily being used as accents on waistlines or shoulders.

Wedding Gown

One thing you will not be seeing is a lot of plain dresses or those with simple lines. Asymmetry is still in, both in the form of the one shoulder gown and wedding dresses with asymmetrical draping on the bodice. Very low waistlines are in abundance, and most bodices have ruched, gathered, or draped bodices which hug the figure (the wrapped fabric does a nice job of smoothing over any figure flaws in these tight bodices). Certainly strapless bridal gowns are still a staple, and the one shoulder style is still in style. A new addition to the necklines for 2011 wedding gowns is the tip of the shoulder design which is very slim at the top and just barely grazes the edge of the bride's shoulder. It is a very flattering neckline for many women, and a nice alternative to the more typical strapless wedding dress.

With all the romanticism evident in the upcoming gowns for 2011, don't worry that all the petals and flowers mean less sparkle. You will be seeing Swarovski crystals stitched into the center of tiny floral appliques, as well as larger crystals used to embellish the entire gown, from neck to hem. The difference is in the way the sparkly details are being used: more organically and in clear crystal, rather than the icy silver of mirror backed crystals or rhinestones used to create a defined pattern. This will tie in beautifully with the Swarovski crystal bracelets which are one of the top trends for both 2010 and 2011 brides. Stacks of mismatched Swarovski crystal and pearl bracelets are a modern finishing touch for the romantic gown designs.

It seems as though all of the bridal designers will be crazy for texture in 2011. Not only will gowns soon be gliding down the runway embellished with floral appliques and oversized crystals, but designers are using even more interesting accents to create gowns with dimension. Look for multiple sizes of paillettes being used to create a shimmery, faceted appearance on gowns. (Paillettes are essentially larger and nicer versions of sequins, and they are often drilled at the top instead of the center so they can dangle and move.) Even feathers are making a statement as a trendy bridal gown embellishment. These fantastical details are being added to very soft and romantic fabrics like net, lace, and organza to create gowns which are like something out of a fairy tale. Lucky brides!

Bridesmaid Dress- fashion

We know that picking out Bridesmaid Dresses is almost as hard as picking out a Wedding Dress, and that’s why here at Prom Party Dress.com we try to offer a wide selection of dresses, in a number of different styles and colors, so that finding a design that compliments the Bride and goes well with the Wedding isn’t hard to do. After all, a wedding can be the single most important event in a woman’s life, and having the right Bridesmaid Dresses can really make the event that much more special.

When it comes to Bridesmaid Dresses, and maid of honor dresses, versatility is essential. That’s because different women have different body types, and you need to pick out a dress that will look great on a wide range of body types. One of the most popular and versatile designs for bridesmaids is the Empire Waist dress, which features a sash that rests just under the bust, and a long flowing skirt in a soft breezy fabric like chiffon. Empire Waist Dresses look very elegant on a wide range of body types because they are not form-fitting, and they go a long way towards making both thin and full figured women look extra cute. Another added benefit is that they look great and fit comfortably on women who are pregnant as well. Of course, there are a lot more options when it comes to bridesmaid dresses, like the classic A-Line, Straight Cut, and Classic Ball Gown designs as well, and they are all great options.

When it comes to choosing a color that will go well with the wedding, it’s always good to take the seasons into account. Vibrant colors like blues, rich purples, and yellows are great for outdoor weddings in the spring or summer, but they also work indoors as well. Also, short gowns are really cute and go well with these types of weddings. For weddings taking place in the Autumn or Winter, more subdued colors tend to be more popular, such as creamy pink blush tones, and pastel colors. As always, a bridesmaid dress should never shift focus away from the Bride’s Dress, so it always helps to pick Bridesmaid Dresses that don’t have any white in them at all!

Wedding’s are expensive ordeals—were sure you already figured that one out—and there is really no reason to spend extraordinary amounts of money on gowns for bridesmaids and the maid of honor. There’s enough to worry already, so that’s why we offer a good deal of affordable Bridesmaid Gowns so that you don’t have to break the bank. Another thing to keep in mind when purchasing dresses for a wedding is that you can buy dresses that will also work for other special occasions as well, because many of our dresses will look just as good in church as they will at formal parties.

Whenever you’re shopping for dresses for bridesmaids, always remember to think in terms of elegance and delicacy. Every bridesmaid dress should embody these two qualities; whether it’s an Empire Waist Bridesmaid Dress or an A Line Bridesmaid Dress, elegance is umber one. Little touches like a resplendent broche, a little re embroidery, or a cute bow can go a long way towards adding those touches of delicacy and elegance that will really make a dress shine. After all, bridesmaids are the Bride’s best friends, and when every maid is looking their absolute best, they can help make the Bride shine and inspire her with the confidence to fully enjoy the biggest single event of her life. So as you browse through the Bridesmaid Section, look out for styles that are versatile, fit a variety of body types, go with the season, and most importantly, make the bride look Angelic!
