Another bridal week just wrapped, which means we get to revel in the latest wedding dress trends to emerge from the runways. For Spring 2017, our favorite bridal designers went beyond our expectations, breaking through the conventional bridal mold and delivering new styles that classic and modern brides alike will adore.

 

Many of the new details focused on creating layers and adding dimension to the gowns. We saw beautiful draping with controlled volume, whether taking floral appliqués and making the blooms pop as three-dimensional embellishments or creating a full-bodied overly.

 

 

 

“Vintage” was a word that a lot of designers used to credit their collection, and it was pretty apparent with the array of Old Hollywood Glamour and 19^th Century French looks. Even the few pantsuits that walked the runway had an “old world” feel to them.

 

 

Another majorly important feature was lace. As an iconic staple in bridal design, lace hardly offers a surprise to the world of wedding dresses. Somehow, it was invigorating to see this feminine fabric on recent bridal runways, with a fresh (sometimes sleek, at times rustic) perspective on how appliqués, trims, and overlays take shape around the body.
