3. Color
Designers are getting more creative as brides are opting for less traditional styles. Bold colors have been a mainstay of recent weddings that we haven’t seen in a while, and floral accessories and designs are making their way onto the wedding gowns themselves. Further veering off the path of a white wedding gown, are gowns in different colors. And not just off-white or ivory. Some brides are opting for light pinks and blue hues to mix things up.

4. Minis
Saying yes to the dress, not once but twice. Many modern brides are choosing to have a second look during their wedding reception. Some are still bustling their gowns in the evening, while others are completely changing into a flirty, fun, mini dress. This gives the party a different vibe that’s more relaxed, fun, and upbeat. Some outfit changes are even going into 3rd or 4th looks, sometimes ending the night in sweats as the bride and groom make their grand exit.

5. Capes
Capes have a subtle suggestion of regal elegance and are another great accessory brides can add to their bridal look. Creative fashionistas are having fun mixing and matching some of these bridal dress trends. Mixing minis with capes has a dramatic effect with the contrast in lengths. Or using a sheer overlay over a mini dress for the second look are all fun options brides can play with.

6. Ballgowns
For those fairytale weddings, the event wouldn’t be complete without a ballgown. These princess gowns are coming back in a big way. These dresses tend to fit more with a grander themed wedding with a larger guest count. But at the end of the day, it’s just a matter of personal preference and the bride’s unique style.

7. Bows
What could be more fun than putting a bow on it? Flirty, feminine and fun, brides are embellishing their gowns by adding a bow – these can be a small subtle bow or a large can’t-be-missed bow. Either way it’s definitely a fun spin to bring back to wedding gowns.
