New York Bridal Market Trend Report: Kate Middleton Inspired

Back from Bridal Fashion Week (which really amounts to a weekend...but never mind all that. LOL!), we're reporting all the Spring trends from the show all weekend long...
***


I don't think there is any escaping the affect that Duchess Kate had on this year's wedding fashion. While full on Kate-copies haven't been doing so well (no one likes a copy-cat), Kate-inspired gowns are going to be hot-ticket items. We certainly have her to thank for the rise of more feminine, modern lace gowns and illusion bodices this season. Long sleeves, especially for the Arizona bride, seem kind of dated, but a sleeveless number like this gown from Justin Alexander is right on target:


This style of bodice also gets us away from the totally strapless gowns we've been seeing for soooo long. Kate showed us that a bride could be sexy and stunning without having to show off every bit of skin. We also love the romance that seems to be exuded from a Kate-inspired dress. Maybe it's the lace, maybe it's the modesty, but something about a dress like this beckons us to fall in love.

What do you think? Are you over all things Kate Middleton yet or can we stand a litte more inspiration?

P.S. - If you love lace and/or illusion bodice gowns, Justin Alexander does these trends particularly well. Browse their website for more gorgeous gowns: www.justinalexanderbridal.com.

Best Wedding Wishes,
Tuesday
