Whether you’re attending a wedding or just love looking at pretty dresses, get ready to swoon - because we’re covering the Fall Bridal Trends of 2014. 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 |

Strapless A-Line Chiffon
I loved the Cinderella Ball Gown.
Something classic that you can look back on in 20 years and still love
I really like the rosa claria! So elegant
Ugh I can't choose any one! I love the blush Monique Lhuillier, the Oscar De La Renta, and of course the Vera Wang. I love the shape of the Pronivias and the Rosa Clara though.
I want a simple wedding, nothing too fancy. Even the decorations and set up I want to be simple :)
I am in love with the Oscar De La Renta dress! The lace is beautiful! :)
A blinded out mermaid gown would be perfecto! I have been wearing them since prom. But, I think for my wedding I am going to try something new, fun, and different.
Princess ballgown, but with lace and/or applique.
Simple knee length dresses
My favorite trend is the ruffled tulle wedding dress.
I really like the Monique Lhuillier designs, esp. Mary Queen of Scots
Lace is so romantic and can never go out of style for weddings
I love a smooth satin dress finish, and nude colors are elegant. Love Pronovias dress
My favorites are the mermaid wedding dresses. I would never be able to pull it off, but I think it looks absolutely magical!
