Veils
Vintage birdcage veils with netting that covers the face are back in. Attaching a jeweled pin or feathered headpiece adds a kick. This gives the bride an aura of drama and glamour.
Varied Bridesmaid Dresses
Historically brides selected the same dress for all her bridesmaids. Recently brides have chosen a specific dress designer and fabric asked their bridesmaids to choose the style in that designer line that they prefer. The dresses compliment each other and the girls look great in the style the suits their body type. The 2010 trend goes a bit further. Brides are picking the color and giving their bridesmaids the freedom of finding any dress they want right off the rack. Could this be a reflection of the economy? Brides are realizing that the cost of a bridesmaid’s dress is fairly significant, so why not let friends select something they feel good in and will be happy to wear again. One important note is to make certain the bridesmaids understand how formal the dress should be as well as the length of the dress. Providing each bridesmaid with a color swatch to work with would also be helpful.
The Length of the Engagement
The year long engagement is falling by the wayside. Couples are starting to opt for longer engagements. This extended period can help relieve the stress, allowing for extra time to plan, budget, save and spread out the “to-do” tasks and the payments.
Stylish Wedding Dresses
For years strapless dresses have been popular. This trend continues in 2010, although brides are now looking at a wider array of styles to cover their shoulders, including straps, sleeves and removable jackets in sheer fabrics. Applications of flowers and lace, reminiscent of our grandmothers’ era is making an appearance on wedding gowns as well.
