TULLE STACK These layered gowns give plenty of volume without the hassle of a full skirt or weighted train.

HEAD-TO-TOE LACE This trend transcends all styles and can be incorporated into any look, from bohemian to traditional.

FULL COVERAGE Inspired by recent royal weddings, this trend has brides-to-be embracing a conservative flair. To achieve this style, go for gowns with long sleeves, necklines, cuffs and lots of texture.

HI-LO High-low asymmetrical hemlines cascade softly for an interesting dress shape and peek-a-boo leg.

MINIMAL MUSE For a look worthy of the Duchess of Sussex, less is more. Trade in the beading, lace, volume and frills for a simplistic look with clean lines and an elegant, structural shape. To pull this off flawlessly, a great tailor will come in handy.

HUES OF BUFF If traditional ivory and whites aren’t right for you, consider the new hue: buff. A playful balance between blush and champagne, buff is bold, yet charming.

PUFF SLEEVES Whimsical and romantic, puff sleeves feel fresh while still having a vintage vibe. Gone are the over-the-top, overly full puff sleeves of the past, replaced by a modern version that’s subtle and fashion forward.
