You've finally accepted one of many wedding proposals directed your way and you're planning for the big day sometime in 2010. The big question for most brides-to-be is what the styles of wedding dresses will be in the near future. Well, what you need to know about 2010 wedding dress trends is easily obtainable, if you take a few minutes to do a bit of research.
Whether sleek and with a very low hemline in the traditional manner, or cut short and with an ultra-modern look, there are a number of different styles making their way through the couture lines of all the top designers today. The below are a few things you need to know when it comes to upcoming styles:
- The traditional look is always in. This means a somewhat billowy look that resembles a ball gown, somewhat. The difference is in the neckline, and that the dress is always in white, which isn't the case, on certain occasions, with other types of wedding dresses.
- Wedding dress trends these days are highly flexible and diverse. If you choose, you can go for the most currently popular style, which is a sleek silhouette, and perfect for a person of slim build and dimensions. These dresses are what are called "figure hugging," so make sure the body matches the dress. Top designers in this style are Justin Alexander and Maggie Sottero
. - If you're up for a little Hollywood-type glamour and style, then 50s-style wedding gowns are for you. These dresses are usually adorned in a belted waistline, with most having hemlines that reach all the way to the floor, though a number of them have hems that go only to the knees, with a sheer overlayer that accentuates the hem and the legs underneath them. A few top designers of this style are Stephanie Allin and Suzanne Ermann.
- More modern and less traditional styles of wedding dresses are easily found these days, too. Called "tea-length," they're ideal for weddings that aren't as tradition-minded, for the most part. The hemlines fall somewhere past the knees, and can be great for showing off the lower legs below the knee and a really good-looking pair of shoes.
They also accentuate the bodice in a demure yet attractive sort of way. Leigh Hetherington and Allan Hannah are two of the most popular designers of these dresses. - Another noticeable trend in wedding dress design for 2010 has been the use of asymmetrical-looking dresses, which have a single shoulder in place of the strapless gown. Top designers and fashion mavens say these sorts of dresses are great for what are called "destination weddings." It tends to show off the neck and shoulders, so take some time to tone those areas up.
The range and depth of wedding dress styles today has never been greater or more fashionable. Everything from traditional (right down to an elaborate headdress and tiara) to tea-length "non-traditional" styles are accepted and in many cases eagerly sought after. Take some time to look at what you'd like to be wed in, and then go for it.
