From choosing a venue to hiring a caterer and photographer, planning a wedding can be challenging. Fortunately, help is available, especially when it comes to choosing your wedding dress. For many brides, the gown is one of the most important parts of their special day, so ensuring you understand your options is essential. With this guide, you will learn a few wedding gown trends to consider.

Plunging Necklines

If you are attracted to less traditional styles, consider a gown with a plunging neckline. This type of neckline will not only show off your bust, but it can also show off some of your abdomen depending on the exact style and design.

A plunging neckline is a bold choice. Therefore, if you are opting to make a statement on your wedding day, consider toning down the bold neckline with a traditional skirt, sleeves, and veil/headpiece.

Minimalistic Look

Sequins, pearls, lace, and tulle are all popular accents on many wedding gowns, but more and more brides are opting for a minimalistic design thanks to Meghan Markle's look on her royal wedding day.

The minimalistic look is known for fewer details and accents, so a minimalistic dress will not have all the bells and whistles. However, a minimalistic gown will be made out of a high-quality and attractive material and fit the body perfectly, creating a custom appeal that will make you the envy of all brides to be.

Capes

When most people think of capes, they think about superheroes, but many brides are choosing gowns with light and airy capes that flow when they walk down the aisle.

Constructed out of lace, tulle, satin, or silk, capes can match the exact material and style of your dress. Or, you can choose capes made out of a completely different material that complements your gown without overwhelming your bridal look.

Capes are great options for providing you with a bit of cover if you are planning a wedding in the fall or winter or just want to add a bit of romance and surprise that ensures your groom and guests are in awe.

Short Dress

Gone are the days of wearing long, elaborate wedding gowns. Today, many brides are opting for short dresses that can be worn with ease through the ceremony and reception.

Another benefit of wearing a short wedding dress is that it works well on most body shapes and frames whether your legs are one of your best features or not.
