Whether your tastes lie with sharp and sophisticated designs or glamorous and jaw-dropping gowns, these couturiers have come up with unique designs to inspire you.
Minimalist
The minimalist trend, which has now entered all aspects of our wardrobes including bridal wear, has been a favourite for many years and is continuing to dominate the fashion world. Of course, its consistent reign in popularity isn’t without a good reason. Understated, elegant, and contemporary, minimalist designs are attractive to countless modern women including brides. The clean lines and simple yet beautiful designs of minimalist gowns make them an excellent choice for the ladies who are about to walk down the aisle. When it comes to making this look work, the couture fashion houses prove that it’s all about the details. Without heavy embellishments and exaggerated silhouettes, details such as the fabric and its drape and texture, become more noticeable, so be sure to select a high-quality garment if you plan to wear this trend on your special day.
Layers
While minimalism allows the fabric’s qualities to take centre stage, layering is all about how the material is used. From incredible ruffles sitting intricately on top of one another to plisse scallops, this trend is a thing of beauty. Light and soft, the best of these designs utilise thin fabrics, like tulle, organza, chiffon or sheer lace, and create volume and density through layering, such as the Chanel dress. Although the soft pink, ruffle design may be too much for some brides, the general style can be toned down without compromising its aesthetic. Instead of numerous layers of fabric, opt for just a few to create the right volume. Alternatively, try concentrating layers on just the skirt of your gown while keeping the bodice relatively understated. Doing so will create a lovely balance with all the focus on your lower half.
Florals
This year, the floral motif is being embraced by bridal wear and dialled up to a new level. Although the typically delicate style associated with florals is still present, the intensity is higher than ever. Whether it’s lace, applique, or even beading, florals are becoming bolder and more eye-catching for 2017. Perfect for the bride who loves a feminine look but also desires something unique that’ll draw gasps from her guests, the modern floral gown is both ladylike and daring. To wear this trend yourself, forego understated designs and choose maximum details instead. Larger flowers and blooms, contrasting colours, and florals that climb around entire dresses are all on the menu and are all divine. Just think, the more intense your florals are, the more memorable your wedding dress will be.
