Editor's Picks: Spring 2015

Personal Picks from Patricia Canole, Editor In Chief of For The Bride Magazine 

By: Patricia Canole

With body-hugging cuts and lush, layered fabrics and dramatically rendered embellished footwear, designers are offering a windfall of wedding gown and accessory options. I noticed these trends throughout Bridal Fashion Week and took note for all our brides-to-be. Here's a look at my personal notes of this upcoming seasons hottest trends...

Monique Lhuillier

ARTSY ACCENTS Designers are playing with texture: tucking and twisting fabric at the waist, asymmetrically pleating hems and adding jewels wrapped with tulle.

COLOR Shades other than white or cream were once used only in small amounts (a sash or subtle overlay). This season the runways lit up with wedding dresses featuring all-over color, from saturated hues like sky blue to pretty blush pink.

SHORT Let’s here it for the short dress! For weddings or after-parties—be it properly ladylike or seriously sexy—is always the perfect choice.

SPARKLE PLENTY Designers know that gowns with beautifully beaded bodices will always dazzle the crowd.

EMBELLISHED FOOTWEAR The floral and jeweled appliques so popular on wedding gowns are now showing up in an unlikely spot, on the feet. Brides are wearing everything from butterflies to rosette-adorned shoes for a touch of femininity.
