With 2018 almost over (scary, right?!) we’re now beginning to look ahead to what will be hot in bridal next year. We enjoyed watching the catwalk shows from the recent New York Bridal Fashion Week and today we’ve jam-packed our favourite trends from the best of bridal designers in to this trend report, so what are you waiting for – read on!
The good news is there is a dress for everyone whether you consider yourself contemporary, classic, boho or glam. Some of the classic wedding dress styles still remain including sublime off the shoulder numbers and luscious long sleeve beauties, but if you’re not afraid to step up to the fashion mark here’s six trends you’ll be wanting to know about!
The Trend: Simple & Stylish (Also known as the Meghan Markle effect!)
As seen at: Cushnie, Lela Rose, Amsale, Kaviar Gauche
As expected this years (incredibly stunning) Royal wedding has been reflected in bridal fashion trends with incredibly cut simple gowns really making their mark on the industry. Think boatneck (such a flattering cut on most) with long, elegant sleeves and let your smile do the talking as you breeze up the aisle.

The two pieces are back and we are delighted! Designers have created sleek looks with midriff bearing crop tops, and whilst not a trend everyone will be comfortable with, it really does make for a pretty, carefree look.
