2018 Wedding Dress Trends

Ready to go wedding dress shopping? Wondering what beautiful new trends you might see when you hit the boutiques? Lucky you! We've scoped out a few of the best looks you can expect to see in the shops this year.

Tulle, tulle, tulle - Although slimmer silhouettes are still hot, we've been seeing fuller skirts making a comeback - especially in tulle. Not interested in all those layers of fabric? Try a wide peplum skirt to add the look of volume without all the material.

Textured lace - Nothing makes you feel more like a bride than lace! But designers are modernizing it by adding texture, giving it an almost 3D effect.

Minimalist chic - Everything 90's is making a comeback, including minimalist wedding gowns. The current versions include unique details, like cutouts, wide straps, or squared necklines to add personality.

Floral prints - Not really interested in a white wedding? Try on a gown in a beautiful floral print instead. Often accented by lace and other romantic details, floral patterns look amazing coming down the aisle.

Subtly sexy cutouts - Want to show some skin - but not TOO much skin? Look for a dress with sheer cutouts on the side. Or a dress with a low, illusion lace neckline. These kind of details allow you to show off your sassy side with class.

Be sure to check out our slideshow to view these trends. Then let us know what you think in the comments!

Google Uses RSS to Aggregate Job Listings for Job Seekers

Despite the notion that RSS is dead, Google has found a way to make productive use of it for job seekers. Last spring, Google launched a search result listing for job seekers (https://techcrunch.com/2017/05/17/google-to-launch-a-jobs-search-engine-in-the-u-s/). The recent addition to the search engine gives job seekers an aggregated way to find jobs that are relevant to their field of work.

Google partnered with job search sites such as LinkedIn and ZipRecruiter to add and update listings as they post. Even smaller companies with postings listed on their own sites can take part (https://searchengineland.com/google-for-jobs-open-to-job-search-sites-developers-277359).

Google posted instructions on how companies and their developers can get job listings featured. Doing so includes submitting an RSS or Atom feed for each listing. In this way Google acts as a feed reader, updating its job postings on a regular basis.

How does this help its users (employers seeking the perfect candidate)? According to Google’s developer's site, inclusion in the feed will result in:

• Prominent place in Search results: postings are eligible to be displayed in the in the new job search feature on Google, featuring their logo, reviews, ratings, and job details.
• More, motivated applicants: job seekers can filter by various criteria like location or job title, meaning more applicants who are looking exactly for that job.
• Increased chances of discovery and conversion: job seekers will have a new avenue to interact with postings and click through to the company site.
