We’re in the heart of engagement season, and if you’re one of the women wearing a sparkly new diamond, you are probably already thinking about wedding-dress shopping. It’s one of the best parts of the planning process, but if you aren’t exactly sure what you are looking for, it can also be one of the most overwhelming. So, for those of you who haven’t had your dream dress pinned for years now, we rounded up the top wedding dress trends to make your “yes to the dress” moment a whole lot easier to come by. From chic capes to barely-there details to off-the-shoulder necklines, here are the top bridal trends you need to know for 2018.
Chic Capes and Jackets
If you are looking for something a little less traditional, ditch the veil for a cape or jacket. These were a go for fashion-forward designers like Justin Alexander to Reem Acra.
Off-the-Shoulder Necklines
Off-the-shoulder has been the season’s hottest ready-to-wear neckline, and bridal designers took note. The décolleté-enhancing neckline found its way onto everything from dramatic ballgowns to fit and fare silhouettes.
Sheer Details
While sheer details aren’t exactly anything new, designers have taken the sheer trend to a much sexier level. Think totally see-through dresses and skirts, plus pretty plunging necklines (all done tastefully, of course!).
Back Accents
The detail on the back of your gown is a surprise element that will leave your guests speechless.
Nude Dresses
While you can’t go wrong with a white wedding gown, designers put a fresh twist on romantic dresses this year with blush and nude hues.
