2015 Wedding Dress Trends

Quite possibly the most crucial item in your wedding: the dress. Brides may think it’s more important than the food, the flowers, and some would even venture to say, the vows. You’ve dreamed about this day since you were dressing up in your mother’s wedding dress. Meaning, it’s important as ever to find the perfect one for you.

This year, gowns have taken elegance to a new level and Wedding and Party Network is bringing the latest trends to you.

Designers are taking their dresses back to a more simple way for 2015 with simple, romantic designs that graced the runways at Bridal Week. Off the shoulder, flowing, lace and even pale blue are a few things you can see brides in this year.

Get ready to bare those shoulders, brides. Off the shoulder dresses are increasing in popularity. And we can’t blame you girls, these dresses softly whisper romance to anyone who sees them. Beautiful lace and chiffon are accompanied on these off the shoulder beauties, which will help elongate your neckline.

Who says you have to wear white? For our funky brides, colored dresses are so in. The ever popular champagne has had some competition with “something blue.” These gorgeous pale hues of blue are a fresh take on an old tradition. We’ve even seen pale lilac and red.

Fit for a princess. Princess Kate’s style is still carrying over on the runway with dainty sleeves that are fit for a queen. These embellished sleeves add elegance to any wedding and will have guests in awe.

Dress like royalty. Designers are bringing the feel of royalty to their dresses with lace appliqués and beading.

A hint of illusion. Something new we are seeing this year is the idea of illusion sleeves. Forget those frumpy long sleeves dresses of the past; sheer fabrics sewn with chic lace add style to any modest bride.

Whether you’re searching for sophistication and grace or wild and non-traditional, 2015 is the year for you! With such diversity in this year’s trends, you will find the dress to make your day perfect.

Lace – This is a huge trend right now throughout the entire fashion industry and the wedding industry is no different.

All About The Sleeves – Sleeves are making a comeback within wedding dresses. For awhile, it was all about the strapless neckline.

Gorgeous lace sleeves or beaded sleeves are all great and add a little retro element to the dresses.

Light & Refreshing – Skip out on those heavy materials that just weigh you down and go with something light and refreshing materials.

Dimensional Petals – Add a 3 dimensional look to your wedding dress with unique floral detailing. Beautiful mermaid styled bottoms with dimensional floral details popping up truly makes a breath taking look on your wedding day.

Show Stopping Dresses For 2012

With a new year, comes along new wedding trends. For each season, things change. It could be something extravagant to the changing of the simplest detail. Colors change, themes change and so do wedding dress styles. So, what's in trend for 2012? There are various styles that capture every bride's personality. The new wedding gown trends are just simply amazing and Wedding and Party Network has the latest styles.

Illusionary Necklines – A gorgeous and unique trend that is starting to take shape is dresses that feature illusionary necklines. This is created with sheer fabric. Imagine a one shoulder gown, off the shoulder or a higher neckline created with sheer fabric.

Wedding Dress Detailing
Exposed – Another big trend we're seeing a lot of is having the underlay fabric exposed. Most gowns have some sort of underlay underneath the gown, which is then hidden by fabric that lies on top of it to create a beautiful dress. Exposing some of that fabric underneath creates a unique contrast between the two fabrics. It gives it an edge, yet keeps it soft and romantic.

Blush – Instead of the traditional white, brides and switching it up and actually leaning towards color. Nude or blush are a great alternative to the traditional white wedding gown. When you think of color, it doesn't have to be full-blown, in your face color. Taking on a neutral hue for your wedding dress will add something unique to your wedding, yet not make it over the top.

Lace Sleeves – Taking a style note from the royal wedding, lace sleeves are a big trend. It adds a sense of elegance and royalty to the gown. You'll find different styles of lace that can best represent your style. This dress is great, especially if your wedding is in the cooler months.

Two-In-One – The trend lately has been for brides to wear their wedding gown and then change into another dress for her wedding reception. So, why not choose a dress that is two-in-one? Some gowns are now being made where you can take the longer layer off and you'll end up with a shorter version of your dress. You don't get to wear your wedding gown as long as you'd like to, so some brides are hesitant on buying a reception gown because they want to wear their wedding dress as long as they can. Plus, it might not be in your budget. A two-in-one wedding dress solves both these problems. You'll get more use out of your wedding dress and it'll help with your budget.

Open Backs – A great way to show off some skin in your wedding gown is with an open back dress that is absolutely stunning. A beautiful circle open back or even a low-cut back adds a great accent to a simple gown. It adds just enough to create romantic, whimsical and elegant dress.

These bridal gowns are sure to make an amazing statement at your wedding. All of the beautiful details make these dresses truly stand out.
