Wow, it’s hard to believe that soon enough a new year will be upon us and with that new year, we’ll see all sorts of new trends for the wedding world. Weddings are affected in big ways and in small ways every year. Even though for the most part, weddings stay the same, there are changes in details that create a big difference and make the wedding current. One such aspect of weddings that relies on subtle changes for big effect is the wedding dress.
Wedding dresses for the most part remain white (or some shade thereof), long, and elegant. But what changes can be made to 2010 wedding dresses to make them stand out this year? Funny you should ask. Here are a few such changes that made waves at New York’s fashion week and that will make all wedding gowns this year scream 2010!
- Ruffles – Ruffles this year will adorn dresses of all shapes and sizes. From the hemlines to the bodice, we will see lots of examples of ruffles. Full skirts will be available with either horizontal tiers or vertical ruffles. Bodices, jackets, sleeves, and hemlines will be accentuated with a simple ruffling along the edge only. We may even see some ruffling on veils!

- Crystal beading – recently replaced by simple gowns with little or no embroidery, crystal accents will once again dominate wedding gown runways giving the dresses a lot more pizzaz than we have seen in recent years.

- Gathering or Pleating - leaving simpler gowns behind, designers have come up with full ball gown skirts with lots of gathering or pleating. Fabrics will not be left to simply hang. They will be folded and tucked in such a way that the skirt of the dress holds all the drama of the attire.

- Full skirts – big skirts are back bringing with them the drama and romance of yesteryear. Fun!
- Heavy Fabrics – Although chiffon and organza and tulle will still be necessary to create the ruffles on many wedding dresses this year, heavy fabrics like satin and taffeta will be required to create the full ball gown skirts.
- Asymmetry – this trend is not new for 2010 but one shoulder dresses and other asymmetrical styles will still be very hot for the new season.

These are just a few of the subtle changes we can expect in the line up for 2010 wedding dresses. If none of these really suit your style, don’t worry. Designers are still keeping some old favourites around; so, you’re sure to find something that is just right!
