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 gown Kate Middleton wore as well as Mary Queen of Scotts.
I love the Vera Wang in the dark pink color.
I like long flowing bridal dresses with lots of embellishments. Thanks.
I want a simple lace fit and flair.
Lhuillier's designs are very romantic with the sleek, body-hugging silhouette veiled in all that frothy lace.
Sleek and simple
I would love a dress like Grace's
I love mermaid dresses...flattering for those with a small waist.
Boho beachy
Oscar de la Renta for sure!
I (think) I like a-line dresses w/ a sweetheart neckline. :)
I love the Vera Wang dress I love the wedding dresses with color.
I like Sarah Burton's simple and elegant.
I normally go for the mermaids silhouette but that Rosa Clara gown is the essence of beauty and elegance. They are all lovely gowns and I'm glad we're back to the romantic style of bridal gown.
I like both Monique Lhuillier dresses
