Unique Necklines: This spring, designers are thinking outside the box with draped designs, romantic off-the-shoulder and even square options. These unique necklines are not only a breath of fresh air but also allow brides to express their personal style.

Romantic Lace: Lace has always been a staple in wedding dress design, but this season, it's all about intricate patterns and romantic detailing. From delicate Chantilly to bold Art Deco, lace is being used in new and exciting ways to add a touch of elegance and timeless beauty to gowns.

A-Line Silhouettes: The modern A-line silhouette is making headlines. Flattering for all body types, this style is both comfortable and chic. It's the perfect choice for brides looking for that fairy-tale look without sacrificing mobility. Add a slit in the skirt to show off your flirty side!

Detachable Sleeves: Versatility is key with the introduction of detachable sleeves. Brides can now transition their look from ceremony to reception with ease. Whether it's a draped cap sleeve for the vows or a billowy bishop sleeve for the dance floor, detachable sleeves offer the best of both worlds.

Fit and Flair Gowns: For those who want to showcase their figure, form-fitting gowns are in vogue. These gowns are designed to hug the curves in all the right places, often featuring luxurious fabrics like silk and satin that add an extra level of sophistication.

Glamorous Back Detail: The back of the dress has become a focal point this season. Designers are embellishing backs with everything from daring cutouts to delicate buttons, ensuring that the bride looks stunning from every angle.

These designer trends reflect a blend of tradition and innovation, offering something for every bride. Whether you're drawn to the romance of lace or the sleekness of a form-fitting gown, this spring's wedding dresses are sure to inspire and enchant. Remember, the most important trend is the one that makes you feel like the best version of yourself on your big day. Happy wedding planning!

The options are endless and can be a little overwhelming, but individuality is what will make you stand out on your wedding day. Choose a dress that gives you all the "feels" and makes you feel your very best. Here are a few trends we are seeing for 2023 bridal attire:

Cathedral Veils
A gorgeous cathedral veil can take your dress from standard to stunning!

Romance
What could be more romantic than a modern twist on the ruffled ballgown?

Black Wedding Gowns
The sheer drama of wearing black for your wedding will have your guests gasping!

Modern Simplicity
Add pockets, and we're over the moon!

Sultry Shapes
​From plunging necklines to cut-out sides, brides are bringing sexy back!

These dresses are a small preview of all that are arriving from the Spring 2018 Collections! We hope you'll visit The Bride's Shoppe and let us help you discover the dress of your dreams!

Two-Toned dresses. Whether combining two shades of the same color to highlight elements on a dress, or having the bodice and skirt in completely different colors, this look is fashion forward and fun!

Bohemian Glam. Soft netting creates an ethereal look for your bridesmaids. We love this style in romantic shades like Tea Rose, Victorian Lilac or Wedgewood Blue. All you need is flowing hair and a flower crown for that perfect Boho look!

Sequins, sequins, sequins! Whether embellishing just the bodice, or a full sequin gown, sequins were a standout on the Spring 2016 runway. We especially love the look of brushed gold, silver or rose-gold. Super chic!

The Lure of Lace. Lace is timeless and romantic, and is the favored textile for bridal fashions right now. The newest trend is to pair colored lace with a neutral lining of nude, ivory or black. Your ladies will love this look!

The Mis-Matched Look is here to stay! While there needs to be a common thread among the dresses, it allows your BFFs to choose a style that best suits their figure and personality. Add floral wreaths, sparkly shoes or a bit of blingy jewelry to unify the look.

There is nothing we love more these days than glam, and nothing says glam like glittery details! For Summer and Fall 2014, a touch of sequins on bridesmaids dresses is a sparkling element  making a big impact on the wedding world. The idea of girls in shimmery frocks just makes us smile!  

2014 promises to be an exciting year in weddings! Bridal fashions embrace a wide range of silhouettes, colors, fabrics, trims and accessories. Themes reflect a couple's desire to express their individuality throughout their wedding experience.  Although there are great changes in styles and celebrations this season, there is a strong sense of tradition that underplays this year's weddings. This week, we focus on the most important article of clothing you will ever wear...your bridal gown! Here are the key looks we saw on the fashion runways for 2014...

COLOR - While white and ivory in (in 20+ shades, from diamond to magnolia!) remain the favorites for bridal gowns, this season's emphasis on color…pink, blush, light gold, pale gray, café, alabaster, black…give brides a broad palette from which to select their look.

FABRICS- Lace remains the number one fabric this year, as well as gowns in silky satin, sheer chiffon and tulle.

TRIMS - Bridal gowns are boldly beaded and carry metallic touches. Feathers appear on many gowns. Jeweled necklines and dramatic back interest (ranging from keyholes to sheer backs accented with gorgeous beading) are the stars for 2014. For many designers, "bling, glitter and glitz" are their main emphasis. Floral appliqués range from dainty and delicate to massive fabric roses adorning full ball gown skirts. Lace appliques are featured on both traditional and modern styles.

SILHOUETTES- Brides want to show off their curves, and the dropped waist and trumpet styles are the perfect fit! Slip dresses with beaded overlays have a vintage feel we love. Ball gowns are classic and romantic. Mermaid silhouettes feature ruffles and Hollywood drama.


NECKLINES- Favorites include the strapless sweetheart, off the shoulder, and even the plunging V! Glamorous sheer necklines are becoming more popular as well.

SLEEVES- Gowns once again feature sleeves, whether small caps or long and sheer. Hooray!  Detachable back drapes, flutter sleeves or beautiful bolero jackets are elegant options.

CUSTOM ELEMENTS- Brides are customizing their gowns to suit their personal style or carry out the wedding theme. Jeweled belts add glamour and define a waist. Colored sashes are fun and flirty, and there is even a bridal belt in Mossy Oak camo!

SHORT LENGTH-There are short dresses in all price ranges, ideal for destination weddings, informal celebrations, rehearsal dinners or the perfect little dress to change into at your wedding reception! Many brides are opting to purchase a “little white dress” for such an occasion. For the "stylistas”, there are gowns with feathers, retro styles and even wedding pantsuits and jumpsuits!
