Predictions for late 2009-2010 wedding dress trends continue to focus on a bride’s unique style and individuality. Some of the new trends include embellishments such as intricate sequence, beading and off-color embroidery; asymmetrical off-the-shoulder strap design; dress fabric colors such as champagne, warm toasts and charcoal grey; and styles such as sleek silhouettes, mini-dresses and tiered gowns.

While ball gowns never go out of style, if you’re looking for a modern twist, you might consider a slim fitting silhouette style column or trumpet wedding gown. Also, tiered skirted dresses are similar to a ball gown style, and have multiple layers of a soft material such as organza, chiffon, tulle or even feathers, which is perfect for a romantic-at-heart bride. Mini-dresses are less formal, and typically are most appropriate in a casual setting, or as a “second” party dress to wear at the reception to dance the night away.

Splashes of color are becoming a more popular option for brides. Based on 2009-2010 predictions, options could include a portion of or the entire dress to be colored other than white, including colorful sashes or bodice appliqué details.

Asymmetrical one shouldered dresses are becoming more popular, allowing brides to be less concerned with a strapless dress falling down (and needing a padded bra to keep it up where it should be). Additionally the bride can show off her hard work from the months prior to the wedding (of excruciating workouts and diets) – a toned upper body physique.
