The strapless look of the Brides of the aughts has given way to the Year of Romance in a return to chivalry just in time to enter our Bridal Trends Giveaway & win a $100 Pottery Barn Gift Card!


Her Serene Highness, Grace of Monaco	Mary Queen of Scots	Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge
designed by Helen Rose	designed by Monique Lhuillier	designed by Sarah Burton

The first trend on our list, Long Lace Sleeves, may be inspired by 3 Royal Brides, namely Grace Kelly (whose fashions will soon be appearing on the big screen in the biopic Grace of Monaco with Nicole Kidman in the title role), Mary Queen of Scots (whose costuming has been burning up the tv screen in the CW's REIGN, and the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton.


Ersa Atelier	Winnie Couture	Monique Lhuillier

The next trend is The Blushing Bride as all manner of 'think pink' dresses continue in popularity - every shade from fuchsia to peony to powder is available as evidenced by celebrity brides Jessica Biel, Reese Witherspoon, and Kaley Cuoco.


Vera Wang	Monique Lhuillier	Oscar de la Renta

The last trend is Sculptural Fabrics and shapes, with the return of duchesse satin that creates a tailored look in contrast to the Boho, unstructured feeling of recent years.


Pronovias	Rosa Clara	Theia

I loveeee the one above on "Mary Queen of Scotts" by Monique Lhuillier.It's STUNNING! It's a bit of a coincidence that as an 8 yr old I was a flower girl and my dress is very similar!

I like the Theia themed dress, something that covers my chest but not my shoulders.

I absolutely loved Kate Middleton's Alexander McQueen. I love the lace embroidery and the classic white dress. I love the classic white dress with a little volume at the ends.

I like mermaid dresses but if I was daring enough I would pick a lace see through at the top.

I love the Winnit Couture dress! I'm actually looking at dresses as I'm getting married next year! I'm preferable to something simple and slightly bohemian.

I just love the style of dress that Kate Middleton wore. That would be my ideal wedding gown.

I like a dress that I can move around in. Something that isn't too princess like but has some lace or adornments. I prefer something with straps.

I love the old-fashioned white lacy Cinderella gowns with a fitted bodice, sweetheart neckline, long sleeves and a small but poufy train to the skirt. When else can we look like a princess! (And I personally despise these sleeveless, skintight mermaid wedding dresses - yuk.)
