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 |

I love the Ersa Atelier gown because its timeless
I like the Princess Ball gown, I think they are so beautiful.
I like the simple and silky
I am loving the vintage romantic lace dresses that are popular right now.
I love the look of the sculptural fabrics but I would prefer an A-line lace dress embellished with some sequins or bling and a long veil. I do love Kate Middleton's dress too. It is very classy and not overdone.
I love the Mary Queen of Scots gown it is the most beautiful. A taste of old & new!
I love the Vera Wang dress above
I love a long sleeved sleek and simple dress.
I love the princess look a gown that pops from All sides. Front back and sides. The bride should be gorgeous from all angles.
I love a vintage 1920's dress!
i love the lace dresses. for example kate middleton's dress is to die for
I love the Oscar de la Renta you have pictured above, so Beautiful! Other than that, I'm a Classic girl, nothing too poofy, or toooo revealing, Simple, and clean looking. and affordable.
my wedding dress was the best of course! lol I live the simple satin look with lots of beadwork and minimal on the shoulders my straps were real thin
I like a dress similar to the Mary Queen of Scots dress, with a sweetheart neckline and lace, but without such a full skirt.
Sleek and simple with an interesting neckline.
