2016 Bridal Runways-Wedding Dress Trends

 

Enoy them! The latest and greatest in wedding fashion -- stylish brides are always looking for them.

We spent the whole last week scouring the Bridal Market runways to bring you the hottest trends of the season. Off-the-shoulder gowns, light blue hues (a subconscious nod to "Frozen's" Queen Elsa, perhaps?), plunging necklines, capes, floral patterns, chic separates, feathers and partial overlay skirts are all "in" for 2016.

See some of the looks we saw again and again below.

Spring Wedding Dresses of Claire Pettibone

See wedding dress designer Claire Pettibone's romantic, prairie-inspired looks from her spring 2016 Bridal Fashion Week runway show.

Claire Pettibone showed us just how the West was won -- with plenty of vintage lace, pioneer style and bandit black details. Her romantic Spring 2016 collection took our breath away. The designer juxtaposed rustic Old West-style accessories, like cowboy hats and boots, with delicate wedding dresses featuring high necklines, scalloped edges, shirred lace and unexpected black tulle accents.

"I was honestly inspired by my brides," Pettibone tells The Knot. "I have a lot of girls who get married in this type of setting, or have this type of vibe." She cites O Pioneers!, a classic novel by Willa Cather, as an influencer, as well as finding the beauty in a natural landscape. "My father has a house in upstate New York, which has dairy farms and wheat fields. It's very rural, and I thought it was great design inspiration for a collection," she says. "I've never done anything like it before, and I like to keep things fresh and exciting."

There was a lot of lace on the runway, and Pettibone is all about fabrics and special embroidery, as evidenced in the romantic champagne and ivory lace sleeves, high necklines and gathered collars in her collection. "I loved working with the high necklines and details on the backs -- one of my favorite spots -- and sleeves. For the most part, the dress is going to be lined, but the lace is so beautiful against the skin, so this gives an opportunity to see that detail with yokes and embroidery." She even has two stand-out black lace wedding dresses with champagne lining in her collection!

As for all the black accessories? They're "a little twist to the sweetness and lace," Pettibone says, adding that they give a little edge to the romantic, feminine looks. "I'm not a cookie cutter kind of girl, so I like to offer brides something different, something that I hope is timeless and something that expresses who they are."

Wedding Dress Show at Bridal Fashion Week

While you were basking in the sun this weekend, I was trekking the streets of NYC in four-inch heels to bring you the latest wedding dresses (and shoes, and accessories) from Bridal Market. Here are some of the prettiest things I spotted. 

MAGGIE SOTTERO I mentioned earlier this week that ball gowns are making a major comeback for 2016. Here’s another to prove my point. 

 

MARCHESA Off-the-shoulder is another trend that’s coming back in a major way next year. I adore the rear view on this gown.

 

BADGLEY MISCHKA Rounding out my trends review, capes! This one gives you the same effect as wearing a veil without messing up your hair.

 

GALIA LAHAV Off-the-shoulder and a ball gown. Throw on a cape and she’s the next big thing. 

 

AMSALE I love the ultra-clean bodice of this Amsale gown, which had a sheer back and itty-bitty buttons down the spine. Perfection.

 

OSCAR DE LA RENTA This was the first collection with Peter Copping at the brand’s helm following Oscar’s death last October. I’m happy to report that Oscar’s vision lives on in many, many lovely gowns.

 

HOUGHTON I’m not naming names, but a LOT of wedding-style mavens were impressed by this runway show. (Which also featured menswear and a dog arbitrarily strolling the runway!)

 

ELIZABETH FILLMORE This dress had a lovely little peekaboo panel in the back. The crop top is new, but the sleek lines and body-skimming silhouette are classic Elizabeth.

 

SNAPCHAT! I took over Glamour’s Snapchat on Sunday, so here’s a snippet of what a saw. (More an the brands later!) You’ll notice exactly where I figured out you can move the photo captions.

Bridal Fashion Week Spring 2016 Trend

Bridal Fashion Week has come to a close, leaving us with a crop of chic wedding dresses that we would say "I do" to in, like, a hot second.

We've already given you roundups of the best bridal gowns on the runway this weekend, and now it's time to assess the major trends of the moment. Luckily, the spring 2016 collections kept things fresh and unexpected (it's not all about white and lace, although those gowns were as beautiful as ever). Read on for the biggest, must-wed-in trends from this season:

1. Crop Tops And Ball Skirts: That's right, guys, the crop top trend has become so ubiquitous that even brides are getting two-piece happy. And there's something seriously appealing about these midriff-baring confections, which appeared with multihued appliqués at Theia, in a sexy, plunging style at Reem Acra and a sweet sheer tee number from newcomer Mira Zwillinger.

2. Nude Tones: So long blush tones, there's a new nude in town. Creamy neutrals got new life this season with the aid of the embellishments that accompanied them—from feathered skirts to fringe midis, there was nothing boring about these novel nude gowns.

3. Sheer Illusion Sleeves: Short and sheer sleeves were major this season, and we can see why: The look is light and eye-catching without being too fanciful, and adds a touch of interest to the neckline (where you might otherwise have to drop more than a pretty penny on jewelry).

4. Short Frocks: For the spring 2016 collections, designers took a note from the red carpet regarding hemlines. Short dresses (some falling above the knee, some in the form of a high-low hem) were seen on several runways, including Jenny Packham, Oscar de la Renta, Reem Acra, Ines di Santo and Houghton—perfect for the warm weather-ready bride.

5. All-White Pantsuits: It's 2015, which means things can be super-modern in terms of bridalwear, starting with, well, wearing pants in place of a gown! Pretty white pantsuits were an unexpected (and welcome) surprise, and no two designers presented the look the same way. At Carolina Herrera, the pants were cropped (all the better to show your statement heels in), while at Theia, a crisp white silk tuxedo made waves down the runway. And at Houghton, an airy, loose-leg version of the trend provided the perfect inspiration for a chic beachside wedding look.

6. Floral Print: Floral lace is nothing new to bridal runways, but colorful floral print saw some floortime this season, too. At Houghton, a tiered dress with floral layers offered a bit of humor and whimsy for brides who want to wear anything but white, while Naeem Khan and Randi Rahm went a subtler route, with watercolor flower prints adorning traditionally stunning white gowns. (We're all for flower power if the dresses are this chic.)

Stunning Wedding Dresses Hit the Floor

Bridal market’s barely started, but I’ve already seen SO many phenomenal wedding dresses. There have been hundreds of classic white gowns, but I’ve been most drawn to the ones that are a little bit different.  Here are 11 that would totally wow your wedding guests.

 

KELLY FAETANINI Kelly’s been playing with feathers for years. This year’s take was fresh and flirty.

CLAIRE PETTIBONE ROMANTIQUE The sophomore Romantique collection showcased what Claire has always done best: breathtaking lace.

 

INBAL DROR I like how the architectural lines on the bodice of this dress play against the softness of the layers of tulle in the skirt.

 

VERA WANG I mentioned in yesterday’s post, would be lined when they were sold in stores—even though they were photographed sheer. So you’ll have to use your imaginations, ladies.

 

INES DI SANTO I love a dramatic high-low hemline, but my favorite part about this dress is the swaggy shoulder pearls, which wrap around the back too.

 

REEM ACRA The runways have been packed with figure-skimming dresses for the past few years, but high-impact ball gowns—like this one from Reem Acra—are back in a major way.

 

RIVINI Clearly this rose-gold gown was made for twirling on the dance floor.

 

MONIQUE LHUILLIER This show was so much fun! It was held in a lounge space where Monqiue talked about each dress as the models roamed the “aisles” between couches.

 

MIRA ZWILLINGER There were so many fantastic dresses in this collection I kept thinking, Oh, HERE’S the finale dress! And then another over-the-top gorgeous dress would come out, prettier than the last.

 

JENNY PACKHAM The art deco that Jenny’s done the past few seasons made way for graciously flowing fabrics and some serious bling.

 

CAROLINA HERRERA There’s no better place to end a long day than in Carolina’s chic, serene showroom, which feels light years away from the busy streets below.

Alternative Wedding Dresses For Brides

In spite of we are looking after the whole globe area though the internet all the 24 hours, most of us have only been regared as one of the wedding fashions in the past and even several of us have joined a wedding where a bride just was in nothing but a white gown. Though the wedding fashions is on its way of wildly disappearing form, it still stays in a firmly tradition.

I remembered when I was 16, I saw the first face-to-face wedding gown though it was a non-traditional one.As a teenager who performed craft surgery on her wardrobe daily, I was undeniably drawn to the funky, colorful and personalized dresses.The clothing section was a happening place to discover alternative fashions and wedding dresses were no exception.Everything you could image was being hand-crafted (often by the bride herself), from rainbow crinolines, rockabilly and gothic dresses, to themed costume inspired by comic books or steampunk. That frequent exposure to custom quirky and alternative wedding gowns completely normalized non-traditional wedding fashion for me.

My vices in life are few, but I do harbor a secret affection for shallow television — cue soap operas and Say Yes to the Dress.That’s not to say I don’t love a good old fashioned white wedding; I bet you can already surmise that she didn’t buy it. Randy himself insisted she pick something more “bridal” because to Randy Fenoli bridal means white, just as it does to most everyone else. I’ve swooned over many a friend’s dress as she glided down the aisle. Like my affinity for junk food, I can’t resist flipping the station to TLC whenever I come within 10 feet of cable TV. I’ve watched moremarathons of Randy Fenoli pulling out glamorous Pnina Tornai dresses than I care to enumerate for the sake of my own image, but on only one occasion did I ever see a bride try on a black gown. Say Yes to the Dress is a great example of the pervasiveness of long-held tradition in the wedding industry, but in case you didn’t realize, there’s so much more available than white. 

 

What’s surprising to me is that nearly 12 years after my first encounter with alternative wedding dresses, they still aren’t more broadly normalized in our society. Traditional gowns remain the go-to choice and it’s still assumed brides will wear a white dress. Even if you aren’t experimental or fashion-brave, my hope is you will still appreciate how amazeballs these quirky and alternative wedding gowns really are.
