Bridal Trends of 2011

While looking for my wedding dress, I researched what the upcoming trends were going to be. When we think of bridal we think of white, lacy, diamond, and pearls.  We also think of the bride being a princess, and when we think of a princess we think of the big ball gown.  The traditional wedding dress is no longer what brides are looking for these days.  They want the most lavishly embellished and unusual dress you could think of.  The thought of wearing white for your wedding is not as thought of now as much as it was back then. Brides are looking for color in their gowns, whether it's in an accessory, or the entire dress. The trends in colors for bridal is a pink, lavender, ivory, and even silver.  This used to be expected in the late 1800's when white was not seen as a necessity for the bride to wear.  White soon became a tradition as being a symbol of purity.  The value of being pure your wedding day was very high.  However, that trend has changed just as much as the wedding dress.
Brides are not looking for their mother's wedding dress anymore. They are also not looking for the basic, expected look.  They want their dress to be first seen walking down a runway and next walking down the aisle to get married.  They want to walk down the aisle in what everyone expected not to wear.
