Trends in Modern Wedding Dresses

Modern brides are breaking away from tradition. These days, they are choosing wedding gowns that reflect their very own personality and taste in fashion, veering away from the steadfast rules of tradition. Hence, if you want to ensure a fashion-forward look for your own wedding, consider turning to the catwalk for some ideas and inspiration. To give you a glimpse of what is "in" and what is "hot" in wedding fashion today; let us take a peek at the modern bride's wardrobe.

While the traditional, billowy ball gown type remains in style, and probably will never go out of season, slim and romantic flowing dresses are the number one choice for modern wedding dresses these days. Gowns that naturally hug the body, complemented with silk sashes at the waist and gorgeous appliqué details are great favourites. They are often designed in refined fashions and include delicate overlays of fabrics like lace, tulle and chiffon.

The modified version of the A-line dress is also prominent on the wedding fashion runways today. Most gowns of this cut are slim from the waist halfway through the knee and flared at the bottom. They also often come strapless or off shoulder at the top, allowing brides to accentuate their neckline or to draw attention to gorgeous jewellery.

Besides the cut, wedding colour is also deviating away from the basic white gowns. While the latter remain popular, many are eyeing two-toned wedding dresses. Modern brides are actually playing with different colours to match their ensemble with their colour motif. One gorgeous example of this trend is the popular used of a coloured bodice against an off-white or white skirt.
