WEDDING DRESS TRENDS FOR 2010
2009 was all about breaking away from tradition and steadfast rules, and modern brides are continuing to choose wedding gowns that reflect their own individual personality and vision. After attending many weddings, we know that here in Georgia traditional wedding dresses are still the most popular. The "rule" for 2010 wedding dress style is to choose something that makes you feel comfortable and beautiful on your special day. That rule will never change.
Although many traditional dress styles are always popular, bridal fashion does follow mainstream fashion to some extent. So if you are looking for something a little more contemporary or "now," consider these top trends.
Add Some Color
Using a wedding dress to bring out a colorful personality, modern brides are not afraid to add a splash of color to the traditional white gown. Whether that means adding a colored ribbon or piece of jewelry or foregoing the white wedding dress all together, today's brides find inventive ways to incorporate color into their wedding attire. Particularly popular shades are blue, pink, lavender, green, cappuccino, champagne and black.
Lace Up
Lace has made a recent comeback, exuding a look of vintage romance that is feminine, yet not overdone. Many brides are enchanted by lace, envisioning a majestic day in a lush green garden.
Magnificent Embroidery
For an ultra elegant, opulent feel, glamour girls savor wedding gowns adorned with intricate hand-embroidered details. This look warrants grand chandeliers, candlelight and an isle of red roses.
Ultra-Feminine
As seen on the runway, feminine details are making a big impact. Ribbons, ruffles, flowers and bows are finding their way back onto wedding dresses and taking femininity to a new level. Brides who envision themselves floating along the cobblestones of a historic mansion will love this look.
Flower embroidered wedding dresses
Beautiful embroidery on the whole gown is the new trend for 2010. These delicate embroidery enhance the beauty of the bride twice. Matched up with perfect accessories and hairstyle to create a magical effect on the groom.
Ruffles
Designers have worked a lot on the base of the wedding dress and came up with the idea of ruffles to give wedding dress volume. This kind of dress looks great on thin brides.
Metallic fabric
Today’s weddings are very bright and full of fun so the selection of the fabric is also bright. Designers are using metallic fabric in many beautiful ways, such as for the flowers, ribbons or any other embellishments to enhance the fun element of the wedding gown.
WHAT WILL BE THE HOT WEDDING COLORS FOR 2010
Georgia brides are overwhelmingly traditional when it comes to color choices. Some Georgia brides are splitting from the traditional and following the progressive trends. So with that in mind, in 2010 it's time to do away with the white, pastel greens and lilacs of recent years. 2010 wedding trends are centered around bold and bright hues and few pastel color schemes. From vibrant red wedding gowns to bold turquoise accents, here are some of the top color trends for the 2010 wedding:
For dresses, black is still a leading trend for the fashion-forward bride that wants to make a bold statement for the Big Day. This color scheme was popular on the Paris fashion runways in 2008 and has remained in the forefront of wedding dress trends in subsequent years. Black dresses embellished with lace and pearls are an attractive choice for the fashionable bride, but you can also consider black piping or embroidery over the classic white dress for variation.
Red wedding gowns are also a top trend for 2010 weddings, especially for the Spring and Fall months. Look for bright red gowns embellished with large satin sashes and bows, or red gowns with black piping and detailing for a fresh new look.
Bridesmaid dresses get a pop of color for 2010 weddings in pink, bright orange or turquoise shades. The bride looking for a fun and playful addition to the wedding can wear a simple cream colored gown with a colorful sash that matches the bridesmaid dresses. Look for dresses embellished with large petals and oversized bows for a stylish look.
Bright yellow and peach tones are also some of the top color trends for the 2010 wedding season, especially for weddings taking place in the spring and summer. Avoid pastels and go for the bold and bright color palettes in these color families for a fashionable look. These colors work particularly well for outdoor weddings, beach weddings and tropical-themed weddings.
Some brides this year will give their bridesmaids the color she wants their dresses, and then lets each bridesmaid choose her own dress. Having bridesmaids in the same color but different dresses adds a touch of individual originality. It's visually appealing and worth considering.
For shoes and accessories, the bolder-is-better motto runs strong. The goal is to create a high-impact, dramatic ensemble whether you're a bridesmaid or the mother of the bride, and the top color schemes in the shoe and accessory department are bright orange, hot pink, red and black, and turquoise. For the 2010 wedding season, you can go overboard with accessories designed with oversized gemstones, glistening sequins and large pearls.
For the 2010 wedding season, metallics and the classic white gown are taking a backseat and giving way to a lineup of bold, vibrant hues and eye-catching embellishments. If you're planning a wedding in 2010, choose from any of these top color schemes to stay in line with the year's top trends.
