If you’re busy planning for a 2010 wedding, you’ll need to make sure your dress and décor are inspired by some of the latest trends and styles. 2010 wedding collections are designed with a modern twist, so we’ll be seeing classic ball gown dresses updated with tulle and layers of lace, lots of oversized bows and sashes, and dresses with glittering bands and ruffles. Here’s a close look at some of the leading top trends and designs for 2010 wedding dresses:
Tiered Skirts
Chiffon and tulle accents are a popular trend for 2010 wedding dresses, and tiered skirts made with layers and layers of these romantic fabrics will soften up any sleek gown. Tiered skirts are great for brides who want the princess-gown look, and 2010 wedding dresses will feature bead and sequin embellishments and miniature bows on each layer.
The Strapless Wedding Gown
Sweetheart necklines and embellished bodices on the strapless gown are a top trend for 2010 wedding dresses, and a great look for almost all body types. If you’re the bride looking for a non-traditional dress, you can track down a strapless wedding dress designed with a knee-length A-line skirt. ModernTrousseau.com has recently unveiled its 2010 wedding dress collection, and this sassy style is among the classic lineup.
Gold Leaf Skirts
Reem Acra introduces a fresh line of full-skirt dressed with beautiful gold leaf print cutouts at the base of the skirt for spring 2010. These princess-style dresses are designed with fairytale flair which means rich pearl colors and accents,and plenty of ruffles and lace. This runway video from Brides.com showcases Reem Acra’s Spring 2010 wedding dress collection.
Glittering Bodices
Vera Wang’s Spring 2010 wedding dress collection features several beautiful dresses with a glittering band across the bodice. These eye-catching dresses are perfect for the glamorous spring or summer wedding, without going overboard. It’s a modern twist to an otherwise-classic princess style dress, and works well with almost all body types.
U-Shaped Necklines
While strapless gowns and v-neck dresses are the leading trends for the 2010 wedding season, we’re also seeing the appearance of the U-shaped neckline. This cut can be very flattering on women with a heavier upper body because it draws attention away from the upper arms and chest, but still emphasizes the décolleté and shoulders. The U-shaped dress is a romantic, elegant alternative to the classic gown styles, and the addition of ruffles or lace embellishments around the neckline can create an even more romantic effect.
Column Dresses
Designers such as Caroline Herrara introduced the beautiful column dresses for the 2010 wedding season, a simple, chic and sophisticated cut with plunging necklines and a waist-cinching design. The column dress taps into the continued Grecian and Roman goddess trend for the 2010 fashion season, and wedding dresses are embellished with oversized bows, thick ribbon and band detailing, and oversized jewelry accents.
From glittering bodices to gold leaf skirts, 2010 wedding dresses offer something for all tastes and styles. This season’s top trends lean towards the fairytale wedding with a modern twist, and designers are producing some unique cuts and designs for that unforgettable day.
