The modern bride looks for a dress that is elegant,
beautiful in its simplicity, and is haute gamme, while being unconventional and
making a statement. Adding small touches to the dress, such as coloured
underlay, unique lace, or a custom-design belt or back, will give the dress a
sophisticated modern flare, while still feeling bridal. The bride can also opt
for accessories without precious stones, like Swarovski crystal and pearl, and
choose colorful beads in ornamental, abstract designs.
Dresses in atypical materials is coming out strong this
year, too. Designers are experimenting more with the feel and design potential of
fabrics such as silk and stretch crepe, and fringe laces, as well as the
lengths of the dresses: tea cuts and asymmetrical, multi-layered and varied
material trains to add extra volume and dimension. Simplicity is definitely in
vogue this year, with structured lines and straight silhouettes, harkening to
the early 1920s fashion.
