Find your favorite features and ideal styles from amidst these avant-garde, fashion-forward bridal gown designs.
1. Don’t Be Shy: Blush, Pewter, and Champagne
Modernity meets romanticism, beginning with this season’s blush bridal gowns. For any bride willing to step beyond typical, experiment with gowns in soft hues of pink, pewter, champagne, or lavender to complement your wedding’s whimsical tone.
2. Bold and Beautiful: Halter Neckline
Showcase your sculpted shoulders and sublime neckline. Perfect a sporty bride or just about any strong, self-assured woman, this halter dress shapes the torso and defines the bust with an attractive V-neckline that isn’t too revealing.
3. Double the Fun: Two-Tiered Skirts
Rather than try past season’s pick-ups, heighten the dramatic effect with a full two-tiered skirt. Ideal for minimizing any bride’s hips, this style flourishes when paired with a strapless bodice and an accentuated waistline.
4. Sparkle and Shine: Beaded Bodice
Embrace your inner diva with a little bling, sparkle, and shine. Ideal with any simple bodice construction, include glamorous crystals and beaded detailing to enhance an alluring appearance.
5. Too Couture: Petal Inspiration
Step into the height of fashion with a bridal gown that echoes couture designs. With petals of organza or fluttering tulle for a full trumpet skirt, coupled with a lightweight one-shoulder strap and a taffeta waist rosette, daring brides who select this style will feel tres tres chic.
