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 like the long lace sleeve trend. I'm not a fan of strapless dresses - I like just about any other neckline
Personally I loved mine princess dress that was off the shoulders
That Theia dress is to die for!
Kate Middleton all the way!!!!
Princess Grace's gown
I love the A-Line dresses - a little poof but not too much! I am getting married next summer so I am excited and have dresses on the mind!
I like the Mary Queen of Scotts Gown!!
I like the lace look on the Winnie Couture and Monique Lhuillier dresses. I like the classic regal looks for wedding dresses.
I like the kind with a sweetheart neckline and a full skirt.
Vera Wang
Monique Lhuillier's dress looks beautiful! My sister is getting married next June 2015 and I can totally picture her in something like that. :)
I like the sculptural fabrics; that Vera Wang dress is fabulous. Also, Pottery Barn is the best place for a bridal registry. Thanks for sharing all these gorgeous dress photos!!

Just luv the long sleeve trend! The Mary Queen of Scots look is wonderful.
I like the princess ballgown type with a embellishments on the bodice.
