Gowns are showing more coverage. Not necessarily Kate Middleton's long sleeves, but cap sleeves are being shown along with illusion necklines for those brides who want more coverage than strapless gowns provide.
Longer veils are back in vogue after being absent for a period. In a survey of brides 75% reported they plan to wear a veil with preferences for floor length or longer.
Many brides are selecting plainer gowns with less "bling" and focusing on fabulous accessories like jewelry and expensive shoes. More and more brides are choosing colored shoes with blue and popular choice.
Some brides are including "costume changes" in their selection of the wedding gown. One gown is chosen for the formal ceremony and either adaptations are made in that gown for the reception and dance or a second and more informal gown is worn for the reception. We are also seeing bridesmaids in white thanks to Pippa. All white weddings have been appearing in areas, but more brides are choosing the mono theme for spring and summer.
Brides continue to create a personalized wedding with signature color(s), monogrammed items, and motifs to set and reinforce the theme of the event.
What is your view of your ideal wedding gown?
