trend report: 2016 bridal

X PALE NUDES AND DUSTY BLUES

WE’RE FINDING BRIDES ARE SAYING TO HELL WITH THE TRADITIONAL STARK WHITE WEDDING GOWNS. FOR 2016, WE’RE PREDICTING INFINITE SHADES OF NUDE. WHETHER IT’S A SOFT BLUSH WEDDING DRESS OR YOUR BRIDESMAIDS IN A DUSTY NEUTRAL PALETTE.

X PLUNGING NECKLINES

WE ALL KNOW THESE DEEP VS HAVE BEEN TRENDING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS IN READY-TO-WEAR AND WE’RE EXPECTING BRIDAL WILL BE FOLLOWING NOT TOO FAR BEHIND WITH PLUNGING NECKLINES. THERE’S NO SHAME (AND BY NO SHAME WE MEAN — NEVER) IN SHOWING A LITTLE SKIN ON YOUR WEDDING DAY.

X SHEER ELEMENTS

SAY WHAT? THIS MAY BE THE MOST INTRIGUING TREND YET. BRIDAL IS GETTING CREATIVE WITH SHEER ILLUSIONS ON EMBELLISHED NECKLINES AND SKIRTS. BEYONCE IN HER GIVENCHY DRESS AT THE MET GALA LAST YEAR MAY OR MAY NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS TREND.

X BLENDING LACES

WHY HAVE JUST ONE INTRICATE LACE ON YOUR WEDDING DRESS WHEN YOU CAN HAVE FOUR? PSSSST.. YOU CAN FIND THIS ON OUR BRIT AND OLSEN GOWNS.
