Trends and styles for wedding dresses 2009
Flared skirts and dresses are making a comeback for Spring and Summer 2009 fashion trends, and the look is also popping up on the runway. Look for wedding dresses that are fitted from the neckline to the knees, and then flare out to create a ‘bell’ look. It’s a fresh spin on the classic form-fitting dress for the modern bride, and picking up the design in a metallic silver or pewter grey is sure to turn a few heads
Sleek Silhouettes
Slim is the silhouette of choice for the modern wedding dress – as sheaths, trumpets, and column wedding dresses ruled the runways. Don´t fret if you´ve always dreamed of donning a billowy ball gown, however, as this traditional style never goes out of style.
Colorful Details
Modern brides are experimenting with color to tie their ensembles into the color scheme. Adding a splash of color to the basic white gown remains popular through colorful sashes and appliqué details, or more dramatically through two-toned wedding gowns with a colored bodice against a white or off-white skirt.
Tiered Skirts
Whether chiffon, tulle, organza, or even feathers – layers of fabric are the newest major detail designers are playing with to create soft, yet dramatic gowns. This flowing style is perfect for the bride who is a romantic at heart.
