Wedding Dresses
Romantic dresses in floor-length styles remain popular for 2009. Brides today choose dresses with flowing, soft fabrics, ruffled hems, satin sashes (at the waist), and delicate floral details. Most dress silhouettes are refined and include the delicate overlaying of fabrics such as chiffon, tulle and lace. Gowns with crystal and cubic zirconia embellished bodices are very popular at the moment.
The modified A-line skirt also remains prominent on the fashion runways (slim through the waist and flared at the bottom) although many designers have included a few ball gowns in their lines as well. Strapless gowns are perennial favorites, but this year has brought back the one-shoulder dress for brides who want an ethereal, goddess feel to their look. In the US, we are continuing to see color in wedding dresses which have been popular for some time internationally. Champagne, pink, platinum are the most popular choices.
