Transformational Dresses

Brides require more looks for their wedding and after searching far and wide and falling in love with their dress, they don’t want to take it off after the ceremony. Designers hear them loud and clear and have created dresses that transform. From a lace romper that converts to a full ball gown to modest overlays that are easily taken off, to removable sleeves, it’s almost a given that dresses are working harder and giving more looks than one.

Baby Doll

Above-the-knee bridal dresses are going shorter as micro mini’s become the latest version. They are often structured with corsetry and boning resulting in a strong silhouette ( Nardos and Anne Barge). The vintage girly brand, Honor loves a baby doll dress with an empire waist and lots of 3-D florals as embellishments.

Color

Not every bride wants to wear white for their wedding, so designers have offered color. Sometimes in the lightest wash of blue or pink (Honor, Nardos, Lapointe) and other times bold as a Crayola crayon ( Peter Langier).

Timeless

A classically styled wedding look continues to be a strong contender for brides. So designers are incorporating corsetry, removable sleeves and overlays, embellishments and interesting folds, and draping of fabric to create excitement and change it up while keeping the integrity of the traditional look( Mark Ingram, Nardos, Ann Barge, Badgley Mischka, Yellow by Sahar and Peter Langner.
