Billowing bridal gowns
Fuller and more flowing silhouettes are in abundance, replacing the non-dress trends that have popped up over the last few years.
This 1950s style includes princess skirts and emphasised waistlines, reminiscent of Christian Dior's early designs and Chanel's more modern ones.

Perfectly offsetting the trend of fuller skirts, corsetry's craftsmanship forms a dramatic and delicately romantic second skin for brides.
Detachable details
Detachable sleeves, veils and opera gloves are here to stay, sending messages of luxury poise and grandeur.
This trend also leaves brides with the option to create multiple looks from one gown, an affordable and straightforward way to elevate wedding day looks.

Opera gloves were historically used to highlight a woman's social status, emulating wealth and class; more modernly, they add an additional layer of magic.
As these trends enter the bridal world, it's wise to remember that though popular, it is ultimately best to choose a gown that aligns best with your personal style.
