The Wedding Dress Trend

What’s Trending in Wedding Dresses? YOU ARE.

As the owner of Formally Yours, there is one question I get asked everywhere I go:

“WHAT’S TRENDING IN WEDDING DRESSES RIGHT NOW?”,

and my answer might surprise you.

EVERYTHING.

Clean, modern gowns are having a beautiful moment. Traditional lace is as romantic and relevant as ever. Whimsical, boho-inspired dresses are everywhere. We’re seeing sleek and sophisticated, soft and feminine, timeless and traditional-and brides are loving all of it.

So maybe the better question isn’t, “What’s trending?”

Maybe it’s, “WHAT FEELS LIKE ME?”

Because after 45 years of dressing brides at Formally Yours, one thing we know for sure is that the most beautiful bride is the one who feels comfortable, confident, and completely herself in her wedding dress.

FIRST, FIND YOUR SILHOUETTE

Before worrying about what’s “in”, we love helping our brides discover what shapes make them feel their best.

Maybe it’s a fitted gown. Maybe it’s a dramatic ball gown. Maybe it’s a fit-and-flare or an effortless A-line.

And sometimes, the silhouette a bride falls in love with is the one she never expected to choose.

That’s why our stylists encourage brides to try different shapes. You don’t have to walk through our doors already knowing exactly what you want. That’s part of the experience-and honestly, part of the fun.

THEN, MAKE IT YOURS

Once we begin to understand the silhouette and overall feeling a bride loves, that’s when we can really start to individualize her look.

And this is where bridal fashion gets exciting.

A bride doesn’t have to fit neatly into one category. She can choose a beautifully clean, modern gown and pair it with a traditional lace veil. She can add whimsical flowers for a touc of boho romance. She can take something timeless and make it feel fresh, or take something modern and give it a nod to tradition.

CLEAN. LACE. BOHO. MODERN. TRADITIONAL. ROMANTIC.

You don’t have to choose just one.

The magic often happens in the mix.

SO, WHAT IS THE BIGGEST WEDDING DRESS TREND?

THE BRIDE HERSELF

At Formally Yours, we aren’t interested in putting every bride into the dress of the moment. We are interested in discovering HER dress.

HER silhouette.

HER comfort level.

HER personality.

HER vision.

HER style.

Trends can inspire you, but they shouldn’t define you.

Because years from now, when you look back at your wedding photos, we don’t want you to think, “That dress was so in style that year.”

We want you to think: “THAT WAS SO ME.”

And that will never go out of style.

Love, Formally Yours
