What are the latest trends for modern bridal dresses?
With more and more brides and grooms preferring to hold a micro wedding, surrounded by their dearest friends and family. This has seen an uprise in minimalism in bridal dresses. Simple, elegant silhouettes made from satin or stretch crepe have been trending. Non-traditional bridal gowns allow the bride to express her personality in many different ways.
The Maximalist Bride
Contemporary wedding dresses do not all have to be minimalist. The Maximalist bride loves colour, dramatic silhouettes and textures. She lives a little on the wild side and is not afraid to be herself. Her personality is best expressed through loud colours and prints that echo her favourite colours. As for textures, she will dive into sequins or anything that sparkles. You may even see the non-traditional maximalist bride wearing a jumpsuit that makes her look smart and highly sophisticated on her big day.
The Spirited Bride
The spirited bride is a little bohemian and is slightly wild at heart. The spirited bride will likely opt for a beach wedding or a wedding at a vineyard or botanic garden. This bride loves whimsical features and daring accessories that complement nature's backdrop. The spirited bride does not shy away from colours and will incorporate natures colour palette into the colour scheme of the day. She loves florals that remind her of wildflowers. The spirited bride may pair an embroidered wedding dress with some chic cowboy boots or a sequin dress with some beachy curls.
The Minimalist Bride
A minimalist bride will opt for a simple bridal gown that is sleek and elegant. Minimalist wedding gowns are timeless as they do not follow trends but stand alone as a canvas for the bride to accessories and uniquely incorporate her personality. The minimalist bride loves clean lines and would opt for a modern A-line bridal gown made from satin and crepe fabrics. The minimalist bride is cosmopolitan and you may see her having a city hall wedding or a church ‘do. She loves dainty jewellery that makes a subtle statement and something she can forever treasure.
