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.

Spring Wedding Trends

Spring has arrived! And with it comes the sound of wedding bells. If you're attending a wedding this spring, here are a few trends you might see:

Potted plants and succulents as centerpieces - So fresh for spring! It's an easy and inexpensive way to add greenery to the décor.

Pretzel bars - Forget donut walls and ice cream trucks, pretzel bars are the new wedding snack. Yum!

Guys without ties - As brides lean towards boho looks and weddings become more relaxed, the groom's attire is kicking back, too.

Are you over it yet? These days, every wedding has a personalized hashtag. There are even sites and articles to help you create a unique social moniker for your big day. But do your guests really care?

The argument for the wedding hashtag has been that it gives the couple and their guests an easy way to locate all the photos associated with the wedding. One quick search for the official wedding hashtag and you have access to all the beautiful moments captured that day. But with the algorithms of Instagram constantly shifting, it looks like there may be a good argument to ask your guests to put their phones down and just enjoy the day.

According to Pure Wow Weddings, the wedding hashtag might be going extinct. They say it's in part because Instagram has recently changed the way hashtags bring up results. But it's also because couple would really like their guests to spend less time on Insta, and more time celebrating the moment.
