Each fashion season, wedding gown designers come up with new gown styles. With every wedding gown that comes down the runway, a new trend emerges. This season, wedding gown designers made updates to classic styles and created new details that define modern wedding chic. To make the most of your debut as a fashion forward bride, learn the latest wedding gown trends and decide which fashion will fit your wedding. Straight from the runway, here are the hottest wedding gown trends for 2007:
Flowing Silhouettes
One of the biggest trends this season is wedding gowns featuring a flowing goddess-like silhouette. These gowns have loose billowy skirts with flowing fabric that create a dreamy quality. Many of the wedding gowns that have flowing silhouettes also feature a dropwaist, which creates the illusion of a longer torso. These gowns are not only beautiful and elegant, they are also very comfortable. Brides who choose wedding gowns with flowing silhouettes will be perfectly dressed for a destination wedding, an outdoor wedding or a casual affair.
Fit and Flare Shapes
Fitted bodices with flared skirts are making a comeback in wedding gowns. Unlike the trends of past seasons, wedding gown fashions moved away from the ballgown look of a fitted bodice with a full rounded skirt and instead brought a fresh look with a fitted bodice and skirt with a flared hemline. Mermaid hemlines, bubble skirts and trumpet skirts were all prevalent in wedding gown designers latest collections. Tiered skirts were another fresh look and featured tiers of lace, chiffon and other lightweight fabrics. Brides who wear gowns with fabric tiered skirts will add a touch of whimsy to their wedding.
Sweetheart Necklines
Another hot look for wedding gowns this season is the sweetheart neckline. A sweetheart neckline is shaped like the top of a heart - a detail that is inherently charming and romantic. The sweetheart neckline adds something different to the bodice of wedding gowns because it gives a curvy and interesting shape. Sweetheart necklines can be complimented by almost any type of sleeve, but on the wedding runway, they were most often paired with sleeveless gowns and A-line or flared skirts. For brides that want to give their wedding gown a romantic flourish, a sweetheart neckline is just the thing.
Fabric Embellishments
This season, brides are making a fashion statement with fabric. Instead of a strong prevalence of beading, rhinestones, or other accents, fabric is the method du jour for adding detail to wedding gowns. The wedding gown runway featured gowns with a wide range of fabric embellishments, from delicate draping to more dramatic ruffles and fabric flowers. Ruffles, ribbon, ruching, gathering, pleats, fabric flowers, and draping are all popular details for this season's wedding gowns.
As the bride at your wedding, you are the star of the show and all eyes will be on you. Your wedding gown is a reflection of your personal style; so create a modern look by choosing a wedding gown that has the latest updates. Now that you know the most current wedding trends, you can choose a wedding gown that truly shows off your good fashion sense.
