After all is said and done..

The much awaited bridal fashion week has come and gone and it definitely lived up to expectations. The Highlights article gives a break down of the latest trends from fashion week which all revolved around texture, texture and more texture.. did I say texture?  Say hello to the interesting fabrics of the future of bridal fashion.  The latest gowns feature super size helpings of 3D embellishments similar in style to gowns already on the market today and yet bigger, better and bolder.

Below is a photo recap of the main trends from bridal fashion week

Trend #1: SEQUINS  These are the last thing you would expect to see on a wedding gown but sure enough,  the gowns below show that sequins and wedding gowns can get along mighty fine.

Trend #2: TEXTURE Raised, layered and ruched fabric appeared many times on the runway creating an interesting pattern effect that transforms the gowns from fashion pieces to stunning works of art. Such gowns photograph amazingly well up close as well as from a distance.

Trend #3: 3D FLORAL EMBELLISHMENTS This is a continuing trend from last season, but the floral details have gone super size!

Trend #4: DOTTED FABRIC There is something ultra soft and feminine about this sheer dotted fabric, it may not appeal to every bride, but its definitely a favorite among the bridal designers for the upcoming season.

Trend #4: PEARLS, PEARLS AND MORE PEARLS Nothing says class and sophistication like a string of pearls and the designers did not hold back. Some of their gowns were covered in strings of pearls and yet somehow managed to look lightweight and effortless
