From: www.stephanieallin.net Our trend predictions Blush dresses have been around for a while, but in 2024 we expect to see even more of them, as well as other pastel colours. These hues are perfect for spring and summer nuptials or for those of you who don’t want to go with the traditional white look. Black dresses are also growing in popularity. We expect to see more fitted gowns – think sleek, elegant, dramatic gowns in a variety of colours, perfect for winter and autumn weddings. If you’re not feeling brave enough to go for a full black dress, incorporate a detachable overskirt into your gown that you can remove later in the evening, giving you two looks in one. Bows are also going to be on-trend, both small and big. Small versions will be adorning dresses and veils, and bigger bows will act as key features in the back of dresses. Having two dresses is a trend we expect to grow this year. Whether you opt for two completely different designs, an overskirt, or a two-piece, there is something out there to suit your style.
