What's in and what's out? What is classic versus tired? What is catchy versus kitschy? Recently Heather Levine from TheKnot.com posted five upcoming trends that she predicts will be huge for 2010. Let's see what you think!
1) Rosettes
These bold blooms weren’t the only flowers to pop up on the bridal runways: I also spotted smaller varieties, like cherry blossoms, and even some cascading petal details. But here’s the reason rosettes are so highly ranked: Their larger-than-life size makes a normally romantic flower feel more, well, fresh.
2) Retro Style
I’m addicted to Mad Men (but still catching up, just started the Season 2 DVD, so no spoilers, please)! When I saw these tulle, natural-waist numbers paired with sheer wristlet gloves, I instantly fell in love.
3) 3-D Embroidery
Over the years, some of my favorite gowns have had that old-world allure, or looked, you know, vintage. But they all had one thing in common: a slim, sheath-like silhouette. Finally, this season I saw intricate tulle-embroidered ball gowns and A-line skirts that offer that same antique appeal.
4) Bold Straps
The asymmetrical strap is nothing new, but this year bridal designers really took risks making each strap -- and more importantly, each dress -- a unique work of art.
5) Black Accents
No, I’m not Twilight-obsessed, but I do think there’s nothing more elegant than a white gown adorned with thisgothic hue.
Gowns by Melissa Sweet, Edric Woo, Christos, Claire Pettybone, and Vera Wang
So what do we think, brides? Love the trends? Other predictions for 2010? How do these dresses match up to what you have planned for your own bridal attire?
Personally, I love the romantic vibes that seem to be radiating off of these dresses...sigh.... :)
