Ball gowns are bigger than ever, ruffles are more elaborate, and covering up — it’s never been more chic. Here, bridal fashion’s most exciting trends.
Trend 1: Hi-Low Hemlines Bridal Gown
These peekaboo hemlines are ultra-fashionable. Plus, they’re the chicest way to show off amazing wedding shoes.

Trend 2: Off-the-Shoulder Necklines Wedding Gown
Pairing this shoulder-baring style with wispy tulle skirts instead of satin ones gives a traditionally old-fashioned neckline new life.

Trend 3: Voluminous Ball Gowns
This season, there was certainly no shortage of full, dramatic skirts. So many, in fact, that we’re guessing wider aisles might become a trend too.

Trend 4: Embellished Illusion Necklines Wedding Dress
Sheer bateau necklines continue to be all the rage on the bridal runways, and this season, crystal and pearl appliques give these see-through styles a more glamorous vibe.

Formfitting gowns have always been an aisle favorite, and now with leg-flaunting slits, they’re more daring than ever. Better warn Grandma!

Right now, we’re in love with dainty sleeves that make even the most glitzy, body-hugging gowns feel statuesque.

Trend 10: Purple Bridal Dress
After a year of reigning as the favorite hue for bridesmaid dresses, purple is taking center stage — both head-to-toe and as an accent — as the hottest wedding gown shade to hit the bridal runways.
