When it comes to finding your dream wedding dress, there are many different factors at play, including the vibe of your wedding, your personal style, and of course, current wedding dress trends. Even if you’re not particularly bothered about what’s ‘trendy’ right now, it’s hard not to pay attention to popular dress styles as they flood your Instagram feed and line the walls of every major bridal boutique. In this article, we’ve got all the inspiration you need with five gorgeous wedding dress trends we’re absolutely loving right now.
High Neckline Wedding Dresses
“The high neckline is a timeless wedding dress style and we love that it’s versatile enough to be designed with an array of different silhouettes, including cutouts, curve-hugging gowns, and even extravagant ball gowns,” explains Belle et Blanc bridal consultant Rose.
The Regan dress from Belle et Blanc is a stunning high neck princess gown with a keyhole cutout back, a billowing princess skirt, and subtle belt detail. This beautiful gown features a luxurious satin fabric that’s perfect if you’re after a modern bridal look.
Beautiful Beading
After two years of wearing pyjamas and activewear, we are all about sparkly moments making a major post-pandemic comeback. If you’re looking to bring a little shimmer to your wedding day, you can’t go wrong with a beautifully beaded gown. Think sparkling sequins, dreamy pearls, and delicate bead embellishments.
“We absolutely love the intricate beaded and sequinned lace details of the Ariana dress,” says Rose. “The fit and flare style, long sleeves, and elegant bateau neckline come together to make a stunning design that’s incredibly flattering for modern brides.”
Off-The-Shoulder Wedding Dresses
Off-the-shoulder gowns evoke a classic elegance that will never go out of style when it comes to popular wedding dress trends. If you’re planning to wear statement jewellery pieces on your wedding day, the open neckline of this dress style creates the perfect canvas for it.
As pictured above, real bride Brittany looked like a vision in Belle et Blanc’s Addison dress at her Cadella Park wedding in the picturesque Macedon Ranges. This dreamy fit and flare off-the-shoulder design features gorgeous sequin and pearl beading.
Delicate Detailing
For a wedding dress style that oozes old-world glamour and romance, you can’t go wrong with an intricately detailed lace ball gown. And while it may seem like an insignificant detail, just imagine the close-up getting ready shots if you choose an exquisitely detailed lace wedding dress.
Available in champagne and ivory, Belle et Blanc’s Vanessa dress is a breathtaking ball gown with a full beaded bodice and elegant lace applique skirt. The extravagant 1.3m train is perfect for brides looking to make a statement as they walk down the aisle on their wedding day.
Strapless Weddings Dresses
For those brides looking to emphasise their décolletage and bust area, a strapless sweetheart gown is a no-brainer. The Sandy is a beautiful strapless princess dress from Belle et Blanc, with delicate applique lace detailing on the skirt and inbuilt corsetry.
“This stunning princess gown, with its drop waist bodice, helps to create an amazing elongated torso,” explains Rose. “The strapless sweetheart neckline emphasises the bust while inbuilt corsetry draws you in at the waist.”
