Say goodbye to traditional all-white wedding gowns. Brides are now adding distinct embellishments and alterations to enhance the basic little white dress into something that is fabulous and runway-ready. 2010 spring fashion boasts new trends that showcase not only the obvious floral prints, ruffles and pastel colors, but also focuses on unique metallic embellishments, asymmetrical necklines, and dark hues, to name just a few.
Want to know the top 5 new style trends to snag for a Spring wedding in 2010:
Asymmetrical neckline
Want a chic and sexy style without revealing too much? If you think a classic strapless dress is too traditional and old fashioned, try a one shoulder dress to show-off your neckline and shoulders. Last year’s popular Grecian one-shoulder style is still hip and trendy.
Metallic touches in gold and silver
From sequins, prints, lace to added jewels, brides are adding shimmering shades of gold and silver to attain a goddess-like look that may perfectly suit an outdoor wedding. The details on the gown will literally make you shine as you walk down the aisle.
Black on White
Although it may seem very unusual to see black details on a wedding dress, more and more brides are opting for this look. A black satin sash or bow is an eye-popping detail against the overall white color of the dress. Black is not just for the Goth girl anymore!
Raw Edges
For the edgier, trendsetting bride, go for a dress with uneven texture for a couture-inspired look. These rough hemlines and details are a new unique bridal style and will definitely have all of your guests talking even after your honeymoon.
Mini Dress
For the quirky and eccentric bride who is looking for versatility, a mini dress is the perfect get-up for a fabulous spring wedding. The warm weather permits this particular look and is appropriate for both the ceremony and the reception.
