It’s the moment every bride dreams of—the day she walks down the aisle in her wedding dress. But what will that dress look like? What trends will be in style for the 2023 wedding season? Whether you’re looking for something classic or modern, these trends are sure to give you plenty of inspiration for your dream dress! Here is a look ahead at some of the top trends I predict for bridal gowns in 2023.
Lace and embroidery has dominated bridal couture for years and it looks as though this classic fabric is here to stay. In 2023, expect to see lots of soft and feminine detailing on dresses, with intricate patterns and beautiful embroidery. For something a little different, consider an off-the-shoulder dress with lace edging or a gown with a dramatic train featuring delicate lace accents.
Say goodbye to mermaid silhouettes, because structured shapes are set to make a huge comeback in the coming year! Think form-fitting bodices paired with voluminous skirts for an elegant look that exudes confidence. Structured shapes also pair well with bold colors like deep reds and navy blues—perfect if you’re looking to make a statement on your big day.
The days of traditional gowns with puffy sleeves are gone – now it’s all about making a statement with unique sleeve styles and fabrics! Whether you opt for long bell sleeves or short cap sleeves, there are plenty of options to choose from. And when it comes to fabrics, brides can go wild this year – think taffeta layers, satin skirts, velvet bodices and more! If you want something truly unique, consider mixing and matching different textures and patterns in one dress – just make sure they don’t clash too much!
This is a great option if you’re looking for something timeless yet modern. High necklines give an elegant twist on classic gowns while low backs add a touch of glamour. A high neckline paired with a low back will create an hourglass silhouette that will flatter any figure type. Plus, the combination is super versatile – you can choose from various fabrics such as lace or tulle depending on what kind of look you want to go for!
2023 is bound to bring plenty of interesting wedding dress trends that will take any bride’s look up a notch. From colorful accents and statement sleeves/fabrics to high necklines/low backs combinations – there really is something out there for everyone! So get ready because these new trends are guaranteed to turn heads come 2023! Happy planning!
