2015 WEDDING TRENDS PART 1

The following trends have been compiled from hundreds of sources in Asia, North America, Africa and Europe to guide your selections and inform you of the vast array of options available.
WEDDING DRESSES
Multiple layers and textures are prominent themes for 2015 bridal gowns. Brides today choose romantic flowing dresses in floor-length styles with combinations of overlaid soft fabrics (chiffon, organza or tulle), crystal studded bodices, lace sleeves and delicate ruffles and floral details. Open-back dresses, visible hemlines and deep V-necks are also gaining popularity. Many designers have included ball gowns and tea-length styles in their lines as well as dresses in off-white and pastels.
WEDDING ACCESSORIES
Shorter trains and veils (especially the bird cage veil) are popular as are pretty boleros, and shawls. For colder weather, brides choose wraps of faux-fur, velvet, heavy satin, or pashmina. Light weight fabrics, including organza, lace, tulle and chiffon, make perfect wraps for the spring or summer bride and reduce sun exposure on bare arms and shoulders.
Pearls, rhinestones, and crystals remain the top jewelry choice for necklaces and earrings. Crystal brooches are also a popular accent for wearing on the dress, in the hair or on the bouquet handle. Many brides are also accenting their shoes with shoe clips made from tulle, feathers and/or crystals.
