10 Bridal Style Trends for 2018

1/4/2018

 
A guest blog by our friends, MyWedStyle.com
Picture
For brides who love fashion—and binge-watching TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress—wedding dress shopping can easily be the most exciting part of wedding planning. What’s not to love about fifty shades of white satin, tons of tulle and every kind of lace imaginable at your fingertips? This is your chance to play the fairy tale princess and pick the dress that fits you best.
 
Wondering what’s hot on the runways for the 2018 wedding season (and what Meghan Markle might be sporting for the royal wedding)? This year’s bridal style trends are all about accessories and showing strategic skin.

  1. Capes: In place of boleros, bridal designers have been showcasing breathtakingly beautiful capes and capelets. This royal-inspired trend can simply brush the shoulders or sweep dramatically to the floor (Think: Sheer tulle and lace or superhero-like solids).
  2. Gloves: Short to elbow-length gloves have once again become an elegant addition to bridal gowns. Sheer or lacy gloves can be used for a subtle touch, while satin can be used to make a bold statement.
  3. Off-the-shoulder dresses: Much like the popular off-the-shoulder clothing trend this past summer and fall, wedding dresses are now sporting many lacey off-the-shoulder and cold-shoulder looks.
  4. Separate sleeves: Sleeves worn separately from the gown (or slightly attached) are big this year from many bridal designers (some have called this the “arm warmers” trend).
  5. Puffed sleeves: Believe it or not, this 80s trend has made a 2018 comeback. Puffed sleeves made of white satin or see-through tulle can add a different silhouette to the arm.

Picture
6. Bountiful bows: You’ll see many dresses with statement bows in new (and surprising) places for the 2018 wedding season. This includes giant back bows and dainty shoulder bow accents.

7. Pale blue gowns: Now you can really channel Cinderella! This year’s dresses have layers of slightly-tinted blue tulle or blue shimmering accents for an icy bridal effect.

8. Saloon-inspired dresses: Runways for the 2018 wedding season saw many different details and accessories reminiscent of an 1800s-saloon look, including high necks, lacy neck collars, delicate fringe and side ruching.

9. Drapey dresses: One 2018 trend is gowns with extra, flowy fabric that trails behind (that is often removable). Because this acts the same as a cathedral-length veil, this train can serve double duty in lieu of a longer veil.

10. Short dresses and bridal pantsuits: The 2018 wedding season holds many different options for the unconventional or non-traditional bride. Look for hi-low, tea length, or minidress options and swoon-worthy bridal pants or pantsuits.

Northern Colorado Bridal Shops

1/9/2015

 
-by Marissa Max

The man of your dreams just proposed!  Congratulations!!  You’ve got the ring you’ve been hoping and praying for and cannot wait to start planning your perfect wedding with your handsome husband-to-be!  One of the first things that we recommend that brides begin their search for is their wedding dress.  If you were anything like me, you’ve been flipping through bridal magazines or perusing Pinterest wedding gown boards for months and want your dress to be, well, absolutely perfect!  To help you in your search for a spectacular wedding gown, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best bridal shops in Northern Colorado! 

Picture
Dora Grace Bridal in Fort Collins, CO
Dora Grace Bridal is owned and operated by Timiry, who is originally from Indiana.
  Her team of associates are fabulous and try their very best to find each bride a dress that fits their personality and budget.  This local shop carries the latest styles from many different designers including, but not limited to, Maggie Sottero, Mori Lee, Pronovias, La Sposa, Stella York, and W Too.  Not only do they carry a wide selection of wedding gowns, but they also have bridesmaid dresses, tuxedos, and prom wear!  You are able to browse and choose some of your favorite gowns to try on, including a sale section of the store where you can find great dresses at fabulous discounts!  It has the feel of a very high-end dress boutique, while still offering a wide range of prices to fit many budgets.


Picture
Encore Bridal in Fort Collins, CO
This bridal shop is one of Fort Collins’ oldest independent bridal shops, which obviously means that they know how to do good business and offer brides what they want and need!
  Located in a fabulous older building off of College Avenue near the Colorado State University campus, Encore Bridal is a great place to start if you are looking for a smaller-shop feel.  Each room in the shop is divided by price so that you can browse dresses within your price point.  They even have a room devoted consignment dresses!  You pick four or five dresses to start with by placing a clip on the dresses you like, and then get to model them for your friends and family.  The dress selection is not quite as large as some of the other shops, but they do feature quite a few popular designers including Allure Bridals, Allure Romance, Saison Blanche, Eden Bridals and Ellis Bridal.  Like many of the other shops, they also offer tuxedo rental, bridesmaids’ dresses, Mom’s dresses, and more which makes it a great one-stop shop!


Picture
Blushing Bride in Windsor, CO
Blushing Bride has been locally owned and operated since the late 1980’s, making it one of the oldest bridal shops on the list.
  Today, they carry a wide variety of dresses from designer and off-the-rack wedding gowns to plus size gowns.  They also have a good selection of bridesmaids’ dresses, flower girl and first communion dresses, prom and eveningwear gowns, and accessories.  As far as wedding gowns are concerned, they have a limited choice of designers, but some of the most popular ones, which include Allure Bridals, Alfred Angelo, and Maggie Sottero.  Many of the most popular wedding gowns come from these designers, though, so don’t let the limited list of names fool you!  Another plus is that this shop does not require you to make an appointment to try on gowns, however we do recommend calling ahead in order to avoid a line at the fitting rooms!  This popular local shop is another great stop in your journey to find your dream wedding gown.


Picture
Wed Wisely at the Loveland Wedding Center in Loveland, CO
One of the fantastic things about this dress shop is the fact that every year, the owner Dianne Carpenter gives away wedding gowns to those who need them.
  Many of these gowns were either floor models or donated gowns and when asked why she does this, she said it is because she wants to bless others.  The wedding gowns could sell for $500 and up when they were brand new, but Carpenter wants to use her shop to help others and does exactly that once a year.  When the sale is not going on, she has a wonderful selection of new, donated, and vintage dresses to choose from.  Not only does she sell wedding gowns, but she also has a selection of bridesmaids’ dresses, flower girl dresses, Mom’s dresses and also does alterations!  It is a wonderful place to start, especially if you live in the Loveland area!


Picture
The Bridal Connection in Longmont, CO
For over 25 years now, the Bridal Connection has been serving brides in Colorado.
  According to their website, they carry nearly 200 sample bridal gowns from a variety of designers, which means that you have lots of dress options to choose from.  Like the other shops mentioned above, they also have bridesmaid, flower girl, and mom dresses, as well as tuxedos.  Some of their designers include Maggie Sottero, Mori Lee, Venus, Allure Bridals Romance by Allure, Stella York, and Essence of Australia.  Because they have a wide selection of dresses, it makes it fairly easy to try on a variety of styles, especially if you are not sure what might look best on you.  This shop also recommends that you start your dress search early as it takes about 6 to 12 months for their dresses to arrive in store and then you must factor in the alterations.  They are open Monday through Saturday, so make sure to make an appointment before you go!


Picture
At My Big Day Events, we recommend that you begin to schedule your appointments and search for a gown as soon as you can!  It often takes at least a couple of months to order the dress into the store and another couple of months to do any alterations, so get started on this process right away, especially if you have a hard time deciding upon which style of wedding gown you may want to wear.  Good luck and happy planning!
