What’s Hot in Bridal Fashion for Fall 2014?
The team at David’s Bridal predicts that the desired trends for this season will be delicate sleeves and detailed décolletage; rich brocade fabrics with elaborate design and textures; intricate use of pearls; soft, shimmery fabrics and gowns with clean, simple silhouettes. The global inspirations for our collections were based on three distinct design concepts:
Gowns inspired by the “Language of Flowers” concept feature feminine details, artisanal touches such as antique lace and floating floral appliques, and collapsed volume skirts. The bride can accessorize her look with beautiful vintage-inspired jewelry and accessories featuring pearl, lace and tulle accents. Floral and pearl sashes and delicate lace caplets, bolero jackets and wraps provide the final touches for her special day. To carry this theme throughout the entire wedding party, bridesmaid dresses feature illusion necklines and details, lace textures and are available in a new shade of pink called Quartz.

Inspired by the beauty found in dark, mystical fairy tales, “Baroque Opulence” exudes romance with touches of metallic gold and platinum, beautiful scrollwork and hand-beaded pearls. Intricately embellished accessories are the perfect complement for this bride and include statement necklaces, tiaras, cuff bracelets and chandelier earrings. The bride can extend this motif through to her bridal party with bridesmaid dress designs that feature contrast corded lace and sculpted skirts in new colors such as Garnet (deep burgundy) and Tarragon (dark green).

New designs in special occasion feature illusion necklines, lace fabrics, cutaway necklines, all-over beading and the party skirt. Navy is the new black for special occasion attire, while the sleek black and nude combination is still on-trend. Every woman knows that no outfit is complete without the perfect shoe. This season’s shoes will pull from the same themes and inspirations used for the dresses, with brides finding options with floral motifs, crystals, soft shimmer and lace. Comfort is still important, with more options available in wedge and ballet flat styles.
