Wherever you proclaim your love, be sure to shine on your important day. Here's a look at the bridal trends in fashion for the upcoming year.For 2009, wedding dress designers pay homage to the classics with a contemporary vision. Expect to see perfect proportions with architectural lines reminiscent of the 40's and 60's, "couture-like" cuts and finishes, as well as fluid and flowing gowns with a Grecian inspiration.
Say yes to your Lancelot in an empire gown. This high waist style tops the list for most romantics. And speaking of Camelot, a fairytale wedding needs a princess to complete the story. Look radiant in a voluminous bejewelled ball gown. Think Princess Diana or Carrie's Vivienne Westwood dream dress in the movie Sex and the City.
Key Trends: Spring 2009 is all about impacting details.
Floral Finishes - Tone-on-tone floral appliques and corsages are in full bloom this coming season. Vera Wang's over sized silk taffeta cabbage rose corsage adorns a simple neckline, while Angel Sanchez's gowns look pretty with a chiffon floral lattice. Melissa Sweet's golden appliqued bouquets add lush luxury.
Fancy Frills - Why skirt the issue of looking all out glamorous? Enzoani, Pricilla of Boston, and St.Pucci create layers of dazzling ruffles and frills at the hemlines of full-length gowns creating a modern look to these classics.
Short Skirts - Higher hemlines are perfect for casual weddings. Check out Angel Sanchez, Oscar de la Renta, and Jane Wang's sophisticated knee high creations.
Key Looks:
New Romantic - The empire dress of the Victorian era is updated this coming season. Spain's Pronovias flaunts over sized chiffon floral appliques for a picture perfect gown. Oscar de la Renta's easy white silk and chiffon strapless with contrasting white silk bow is stunning. Check out Carolina Herrera's ivory taffeta gown with off the shoulder sleeves and bustled back. Her ivory duchess satin and taffeta tuxedo vest paired with a full silk organza asymmetrical skirt and completed with an ivory top hat is sure to make any bride the centre of attention.
Grecian Goddess - Fashion forward brides follow Vera Wang, who continues to update neoclassic looks with beautifully draped silk, taupe jersey and an asymmetrical one-shoulder design that is tied at the back. Her deep v-neck halter dress in champagne silk satin is minimal yet chic. When worn with a voluminous sleeved shawl, the bride in this look becomes a fashionable Helen of Troy.
Silver Screen Elegance - Taking cues from 1960's Hollywood heroines including Elizatbeth Taylor and Sophia Lauren, Spanish designers such as Manuel Mota create a contemporary yet romantic collection. Look like a leading lady in a jewelled halter A-line gown in white silk and organza, or deep V-neck with ruffle trim on ruched silk. Take a look at Enzoani's Dakota dress - a modified trumpet with a soft sweetheart neckline finished in ivory mesh organza with cotton appliques and scalloped hemline.
