The Wedding Dress Trends We Are Loving for 2018

Modern Wedding Posted: February 12, 2018

The latest collections in bridal have dropped, and let us tell you, they’re stunning! Our fashion team hit the ground running to bring you the latest trends straight from the runways. From statement beading and boho lace to French-inspired floral touches and shades of blue for bridesmaids, we’ve got all the hottest wedding dress trends you need to know. Read on to see some of our favourites.

Decadent beading makes a statement this year. Sexy silhouettes are given a glittery touch and a much-loved trend-worthy upgrade. Opulent latticework is reminiscent of French-inspired patterns, while pearl-embellished bodices create a unique texture on clean crepe silhouettes. High necklines and low, plunging backs are adorned with silver bugle beads and ivory Diamante beads for a luxe mix of sparkle.

Lace is a classic staple in bridal, but this year lace is given a causal and cool update with enviable boho patterns. Cotton-style matte lace is paired with lattice details and airy silhouettes. Organic finished necklines and cameo backs make boho lace stand out.

Bring the drama with ultra-feminine lace details. Off-the-shoulder sleeves and micro straps are adorned with beaded details that match sheer corset-style bodices and flattering V-necklines highlight the décolletage. Choose a French-inspired floral lace top with a ballgown skirt for a totally royal look, or keep it traditional in a fit-and-flare silhouette with a modern sweetheart neckline.

These bridesmaid dresses have us singing the blues…in the best way possible! Art Deco-inspired sequin patterns give the perfect mix of casual and classic while romantic blush tones feel refined and sophisticated. Ideal for a mix-and-match bridal party, these modern blue shades are artful, inspiring and allow you to perfectly blend cool tones for a fashion-conscious girl squad.
