Here we go! 2019 Fall Bridal Fashion Week has come to a close, and we have the highlights for wedding dress trends for 2019.  We reviewed several top fashion expert opinions (Brides, Vogue, Wedding Wire, Martha Stewart) for the hottest wedding dress trends.  

• Royal Inspiration:  top on everyone's list were Meghan Markle's  wedding gown (elegant, minimalist styling, crisp fabric, boatneck and off-the-shoulder necklines) and reception dress (nod to the '90's slip dress featuring high necks, and halter stylings).
• Crop Tops and Separates: bear mid riffs are back!! Sleek, off-the-shoulder crop tops and coordinating skirts  are all the rage!
• Jump Suits/Pant Suits/Rompers:  Brides can choose after-party ready looks in every style from cropped/modern to flowing/bohemian.
• Shrugs:  capes were the in cover-up accent for 2018; this year elegantly drape bare shoulders with tulle or lace shrugs.
• Color:  the range is broad...pastels, bold and bright, ombre.  But be sure to embellish gowns with deep/vibrant jewel tone embroideries and metallic gems.
• Sleeves: this is the year of "statement" sleeves.  Every fashion forward style is represented...from fitted to puffy.
• Fairytale Princess:  volume is key.  Multi-tiered skirts of tulle skirts create volume for that perfect princess feel.
• Asymmetry and Geometrics:  cutting edge design technology combines geometric patterns with unconventional angles, layers, and fabric placement for dynamic looks.
• Glitter: Sparkle!! Glitz!! Glam!! need we say more?  The roaring twenties inspire styles with low waistlines, sequins, and fringe.
• Bridal "Athleisure":  new to the bridal fashion world.  Love your yoga pants? Bridal tracksuits are the new fashion statement for this year.
• Bows:  from tiny and functional for fastening to large and puffy to lend a sculptured effect, bows are a must.
• Waistline:  enhance your waistline with a colored (black is hot for 2019), satin sash, a jeweled belt, or a brooch.

Whatever your style, there is a perfect gown out there for you. Good luck in your search!!
