The Latest Wedding Dress Trends

Wedding Sherwani
Wedding dress designers let their creative juices flow when creating their designer masterpiece for today's discerning bride. Some designers take their inspiration from the 1920's and 1930's with loose fitting designs and others turn to the 40's with wide shoulders and slim waistlines. For many though the defining era of a vintage wedding dress is the golden era of the 1950's and 1960's. Hollywood greats Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, Ava Gardner and Elizabeth Taylor wooed cinema audiences with their style and sophistication, leading many a commentator to taking greater interest in their fashion statements than their acting abilities. But perhaps the most famous of all actresses to inspire vintage wedding dress design was Audrey Hepburn. Her classic figure, stunning looks and winning personality were the hallmark of an actress the envy of many an onlooker. A screen icon to this day, her style can be seen in many a vintage inspired wedding dress over 50 years later. Dress designers all over the world claim Audrey to be their inspiration - with clean necklines, low cut backs, soft flowing hems and three quarter length dresses being elements of their signature designs.

When working with a designer, brides can select their favourite design elements and embellishments to create a truly one-off unique vintage classic. Don't be restricted by what you see in front of you - take along your own ideas and work with your designer. You may have magazine clippings or images you've seen in your search on-line. Some will work really well with your designers dresses, others won't - but never be afraid to ask. The hallmark of a good designer is to take their client's preferences and incorporate those in to their own dress designs. You'll usually know when it will or won't work and your designer will be able to give you good advice why some things may or may not be recommended for a particular style of dress.

So whether your inspiration is the golden era of Hollywood or a modern classic design with influences from a bygone era you can be confident of looking and feeling like a true star on your big day.
