Many brides-to-be have one major item on their shopping list that must be checked off before they can truly envision the day unfolding: the much-anticipated wedding dress.
Whether you want to go for a super chic minimal look or go all-out princess bride, the choice of your wedding dress is important - and one that you'll no doubt be reminded of on a daily basis via pictures adorning the walls of your home, your phone's camera roll, and likely a large portion of your Instagram feed.
After all, what's the point of spending so much money on an incredible photographer if you don't reuse the photos for every birthday/anniversary/random Tuesday...?
If you're feeling overwhelmed by the abundance of options and don't know where to start, don't worry because we're here to discuss all wedding dress trends in 2023.
DECONSTRUCTED DRESSING
2023 is expected to be the year of deconstructed dressing, with a significant increase in requests for cool separates. Brides love how separates allow them to easily transition from day to night, not to mention the added eco-benefit of being able to rewear them long after the wedding.
BIG, BUT MAKE IT COOL
The traditional bridal silhouette has been redefined for 2023, with oversized styles and volume returning. The voluminous skirts are offset by modern details like scoop necklines and drop waistlines, giving these outfits a cool, laid-back vibe.
GROWN-UP GLAMOUR
A strong trend for 2023 is sumptuous and sophisticated dressing for the modern woman. Brides are looking for pieces that highlight the female form, with structured and fitted styles becoming increasingly popular.
HIGH-LOW HEMLINES
Hemlines are continuing to shapeshift into 2023, from maxi, midaxi, and midi to mini and micro mini, with fashion-forward brides, increasingly drawn to wearable lengths and away from the traditional floor-length gown. The number of requests for ankle-length pieces has increased by 120%.
LET THERE BE LACE
The lace detailing is a strong trend for 2023, as seen on the runways of Valentino, Miu Miu, and Saint Laurent. More brides are returning to lace but looking for a modern twist. Many people want razor-sharp cuts for a more modern look.
TROUSERS, TROUSERS, TROUSERS
The bridal party has grown up. The vast majority of our brides and bridesmaids are in their 30s; they know their style and want to make the most of their budgets by choosing styles and colours that their bridesmaids will wear again. We've seen a 150 percent increase in requests for trousers among bridesmaids, as brides like the idea of mixing and matching silhouettes and shapes.
