Wedding Fashion Trends: Fall 2020

Skirting Tradition with Tiers & Ruffles

Are you craving a long, traditional skirt, but want to spice it up with a little flirtation and fun? Tiers and ruffles can add movement and panache without weighing you down by achieving the volume of a princess gown, but without all of the extra material. Tiers are best paired with ballgown or A-line silhouettes, while ruffles look best with a full skirt or mermaid silhouette. No matter what you do, make sure to take an extra twirl on the dance floor. You owe it to the dress … and to your photographer.

GOWNS: Viktor & Rolf Mariage

Spine-Tingling Design

It’s all in the details is spot on for this new trend walking down the aisle. While an open back is always beautiful, we love the idea of a design element trailing down your spine and elongating your figure. From illusion lace to jewelry and accessories, the trickle-down effect adds a sexy touch to your bridal look.

Leather Up

Show the special men in your life you care enough to give them a bloom that won’t lose its blossom. Leather boutonnieres are a contemporary twist on the classic tradition. Pin this lovely leather beauty on the left lapel of all of the very important men in your lives to help them stand out on your big day.

The Groomsman Suit

 

Wearing Your Heart on Your Sleeve

Don’t give your spouse the cold shoulder. From the puffy sleeve to the poem sleeve, from satin to lace, statement arms hit the runway in a big way this year, often elaborating on and adding charm to contemporary, minimalist gowns. Pair it with a trendy one-shoulder neckline for an even more modern take.
