The Hottest Spring Wedding Dress Styles of the Year.Let’s now explore the ten best spring wedding dress styles:
-
Lace neckline
Nothing elevates the elegance and romance of a wedding dress more than a lace neckline. Brides having spring weddings love delicate lace to frame their necklines and cascade across the neckline to create heady patterns. From vintage to fairy to bohemian – in the context of a spring wedding, a braided wedding dress with a lace neckline and collar will make you look absolutely stunning.
-
Light, breathable and romantic fabric
The fresh breath of spring certainly calls for fabrics that “flow” freely. Whether you're having an artsy beach wedding or saying "I do" in a fairy garden, choose fabrics that are breathable, lightweight, and flowy (and romantic). Some good options include tulle, organza, lace, and chiffon.
-
Drop-waist silhouettes
These silhouettes usually have a slightly lower waistline than traditional styles. What’s the purpose? This design elongates your torso, creating a tall, slim appearance. A drop-waist silhouette is a great option for brides who want to look sophisticated, confident and elegant.
-
Lots of floral patterns
Floral patterns are a "hot topic for weddings" this spring, and for good reason. Spring is the season of fresh florals, a trend that incorporates their beauty into gowns through 3D patterns. These patterns pair perfectly with voluminous skirts and elegant sweetheart necklines.
-
Shades other than white and ivory
Of course, when it comes to gorgeous traditional bridal gowns, white, off-white and ivory reign supreme. But if you're the kind of bride who likes to break the mold, we're happy to tell you that "color" is a popular wedding dress trend right now. The best shades for a unique bridal look include blue ombre, pale pink, rose gold, pastel iridescence, champagne, blush, black and colorful floral patterns.
-
Unique sleeve type
The latest spring wedding dress trends continue to harness the power of unique sleeves to take bridal looks to a whole new level. Some of the most amazing sleeve design trends include sheer sleeves, puff sleeves, lace jackets, flowy sleeves, off-the-shoulder sleeves, sparkly spaghetti straps and dramatic trains.
-
Glitter and sequins
If you’re looking for a spring wedding dress that will make you shine like a diamond, go straight for sequins, shiny gold fabrics, and more sequins. These sequins will reflect light and make you look dazzling and glamorous, especially if you decide to have a gorgeous indoor wedding.
-
Classic is king
If you’re not a fan of obsessively tracking the trends, you can safely stick with the classic spring wedding styles. Whereas trends come and go all the time, classic wedding dresses stand the test of time, forever. So, go for gowns with ball gown silhouettes, strapless styles, high necklines, or long lace sleeves!
-
Miniskirts and knee-length skirts
It makes sense for wedding dresses to get shorter for spring weddings. Whether you're spending your special day at a rustic farmhouse, an elegant golf course, or a quaint winery, knee-length skirts and miniskirts will perfectly complement your spring wedding decor.
What’s more, shorter dresses are so much easier to handle. You can move around with ease, dance like there’s no tomorrow, and look drop-dead gorgeous all the same.
-
Suits, jumpsuits and sexy outfits
For the laid-back yet ultra-stylish bride who wants to put a creative spin on her wedding attire, options like stylish off-white designer suits, comfortable and stylish jumpsuits, and suits that make a statement are all great options!
What Should Bridesmaids Wear to a Spring Wedding?
So how should your bridesmaids dress for your amazing spring wedding?
We have a few suggestions:
First and foremost, the fabric and color of the dress should complement the overall wedding theme.Pastel shades are a popular choice. Sophisticated pastel shades of pink, lilac, beige and peach evoke an ethereal atmosphere that blends perfectly with the season.
The mismatched dress trend is all the rage for bridesmaid dresses this spring. While your bridesmaids here get to pick dresses that celebrate their own individualities, there must be a unifying factor (fabric, color, or pattern) to create a cohesive look.
Fabrics like silk and satin are great choices for bridesmaids' dresses because they bring home a dreamy, romantic vibeIf you’re looking for something whimsical, have your besties pick dresses with floral patterns.
Picking the perfect accessories
The equation here is simple – if your bridal dress comes with several statement styles such as a sequin work, intricate lace designs, and more, it’s important to let the dress take the spotlight and go with subtler accessories (think simple pearl earrings and minimalistic bracelets).
On the other hand, if you choose a simpler wedding dress, look for a statement jewelry piece that can elevate your overall look. Some other popular accessories include stylish waist belts, lace gloves, shawls, capes, and jackets.
