Meanwhile, let me clue you in to some of the trends you can expect to see this spring:
• Flowers – the bigger the better! We’ve been seeing flowers on bridal gowns for pretty much the last year or so, but it seems that they are getting bigger and bigger. They are no longer simply a dainty detail. Like wildflowers, they are overtaking the entire gown creating full skirts and look-at-me necklines. Bouquets rule!
• Bare your beautiful shoulders! The one-shoulder trend continues into the spring. But rather than just plain fabric draped across your smooth skin, this spring your shoulders will be flowered and jeweled. Yep, this spring the shoulders will definitely be having more fun.• Bows, bows, and more bows. We saw a hint of this trend in the Spring 2010 collections. But you’ll definitely be seeing more of it next spring. What I like about the new take on bows is that they’re big and unstructured. No stiff, little girl bows on these gowns. These bows demand attention – and are bound to get it, as will you.
• Expect to see pops of color. I was super excited to see bursts of color throughout the collection. Personally, being something of a non-traditional bride, I really embrace the idea of color in wedding gowns. I don’t think it’s anything to be scared of. It adds a personal, modern touch to an otherwise traditional style. Featured this weekend were reds, blues, and even black! Divine!
• It’s the return of the full skirt! After a few seasons of slim line gowns trouncing all over the ball gown, big skirts are back! I, for one, am pleased. Don’t worry, the sexiness isn’t gone. We’re still seeing very sleek, rouched tops but the skirts are full and bountiful – often designed with tiers of ruffles, flowers, or lace. What’s not to love?
• Vintage lovers rejoice! For the bride who wants that traditional vibe, how about a little antique lace…or a lot? Lots of white and ivory antique lace was seen throughout the collections; a nod to the continuing vintage wedding trend.Overall, I am expecting to see lots of romance and fantasy in the spring trends with exaggerated bows and flowers and pops of colors on full, tiered skirts. And I think you’ll find just what you’re looking for.
Be sure to call and schedule a time to come in. The show ends tomorrow at 4pm!
