Wedding dress fashion changes over the years, just like any other area of couture. As we get ready for next year’s wedding season, we thought we’d highlight some of the key wedding dress trends to watch out for if you’re getting ready to visit a wedding dress boutique in the coming months.

Corset tops

Corset tops aren’t really a new trend in wedding dresses, but what is coming to the fore is having the corset as a separate top, rather than part of the dress. This makes it much easier for brides to change up their look throughout their big day. 

The Saint bridal collection does this well, providing striking outfits with separate corset tops, giving you a bit more versatility when it comes to how you dress throughout the ceremony, reception and into the party. 

Basque waists

Basque waisted wedding dresses are having a moment too. This style of dress uses a V or U shape that reaches below your natural waistline, with the effect of elongating your waist and creating a gorgeous silhouette. 

Dresses with basque waists are a gentle way to create flattering contours without having to wear a corset, which can feel uncomfortable for some. There are some beautiful dresses in the Rue De Seine collection that feature basque waists and also tie into our final trend…

Colourful elements

While white and ivory are still the go-to colours for many bridal gowns, there are a growing number that are introducing hints of colour. The Rue Icons collection has some stunning examples, where embroidered details like flowers and birds add a splash of colour to a bride’s dress.

If you still want a white or ivory dress, but would like to add a flash of colour, a long, colourful embroidered veil can be another option, giving your dress an even bigger wow factor as you walk down the aisle.
