Renowned designers Galia Lahav and Monique Lhuillier used 3D floral appliqués to add a romantic, ethereal feel to their dresses. For bolder brides, Marchesa's piece would be the perfect fit. On the skirt, designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig incorporated large floral appliqués that will certainly make a statement and leave a lasting impression.

We also couldn't miss the glorious black dress by Naeem Khan. He went all out and added floral appliqués to the dress, bodice, even up to the veil. Black might be too strong of a color for brides, but the addition of graceful flowers turned everything into a perfect balance.


2.Bohemian-inspired

Rustic weddings with a bohemian touch, like this one, have become increasingly popular, and more designers have created just the right dresses to suit them. Jenny Packham played around with loose, flowing sleeves to give her collection a gypsy spirit. The easygoing silhouettes kept the dresses down-to-earth, but the sequins added a touch of glamour. Meanwhile, Claire Pettibone experimented with intricate cutouts that wouldn't look out of place in a bohemian or beach wedding.


3.Colorful dresses

When in doubt, add a little bling. Christian Siriano brought forth a simple dress made from shiny, sequined material, while Theia showcased a dark dress with symmetrical patterns that reminds us of the 1920s era. If you feel that a fully-glittered dress is too much for you, check out the dress by Reem Acra, which has sequins on top, and the one by Galia Lahav, who added them on the bottom part instead.


5.Short and sweet

Taking it up to the next level was Mira Zwillinger, who turned her short dresses into even trendier two-piece outfits. Would you wear a short dress on your wedding day?

Intricate beading, embroidery, and appliqués in various shapes can add something extra special to a simple wedding dress. As you can see, the addition of embellishments makes these dresses look so magnificent despite their classic silhouettes. The creative placement of embellishments is key, as they have to be visible and precise to create an impact.


7.Pants

Designers: Lela Rose, Elie Saab, Carolina Herrera

Just like they did last year, pants and jumpsuits are taking the wedding world by storm. Pants may be an unconventional choice for brides, but they are just so comfortable, modern, and elegant at the same time. After all, there are no strict rules stating that you have to wear a dress on your wedding day. Wide-leg pants or ankle-length trousers, the choice is entirely up to you.


8.Florals

Always a popular choice for weddings, florals are far from boring. We're in love with this white Naeem Khan dress with blue embroidered flowers. The Oscar de la Renta piece with floral embroidery all over is also beautiful, though not as eye-catching as the white dress with purple flowers by Romona Keveza. Ines di Santo wowed us once again with this floral ball gown, and no less stunning is a dress by Lela Rose, who paired a plain top with a floral skirt. Which of these is your favorite?


9.Embellishments all over

Beads all over this Lazaro ball gown make it look oh-so-glamorous and bewitching. The pink Naeem Khan piece has a Hollywood quality to it, thanks to the violet embroidery all over the dress.

Halter-neck

Sweetheart necklines have long been a popular choice for brides as they flatter the upper body by creating the appearance of a fuller chest. The halter-neck, however, has been seen a lot on the runway lately. A simple cut that brings an impact, this one is. A little tip, combine it with a plunging neckline for a flirtatious finish.

Designers: Temperley, Ines di Santo
