Wedding Dress Trends for 2013


If you're getting married in 2013, you'll need to know next year's wedding dress trends, from bold splashes of colour to iconic sillhouettes. Here are five top trends set to take bridalwear fashion by storm for 2013:

Colour

White and ivory wedding dresses are not the only option! Inspired by vintage palettes, next year's designs are full of deep, Victorian red and blue tones, or delicate shades of brown, blush and pink with feminine lace detailing. Two-tone wedding gowns are growing in popularity two, and are a great option if you still want a predominantly white dress. Or if you're after something really unique, what about a retro or floral print for your wedding dress?

Cutout Backs

Keyholes and lace cutouts are a firm trend for next year's bridalwear, following on from the trend of low-backed dresses a few years ago. The latest look is once again borrowing from vintage design, with predominantly lace detailing on sheer panels, showing a modest peek at the bride's back. Sexy but sophisticated, this trend is a lovely way to add an extra element to your wedding gown.

Peplums and Layers

A peplum is a waist-defining short overskirt that is seen a lot on the runway. Adding structure and draping to the simplest dress, peplums are a hot high fashion trend for next year. Stylished layers are also a big winner, providing a combination of fabrics, textures and shapes to add extra interest and a modern twist to your wedding gown.

Lace

Ever since the royal wedding, the nation has been in love with lace bridalwear! Every designer and collection has been utilising this timeless fabric to add detail and sophistication into all styles of wedding dresses. From contemporary to traditional, vintage to modern, you are sure to find a wedding gown embellished with this enchanting detailing. Options vary from overskirts and cutout panels to sleeves and shrugs.

Combination and Convertible Dresses

Why settle for one dress when you can transform your gown into two (or more) different looks as you move from the ceremony to the reception? More and more brides are opting for a second dress in order to party down without the restriction of a heavy wedding gown, but what if you could combine the two and make a statement with an adaptable dress? Layers, detachable skirts, sleeves, veils, trails and jackets are all becoming popular as brides peel away different elements of their wedding look to create an entirely new one!

Whatever your wedding style, you're sure to find something you adore in next year's wedding trends. But most importantly, follow your heart and your tastes and keep looking until you find the perfect wedding dress for you.
