Bridal Separates

 

Bridal separates are definitely in because they’re so versatile and unique. They make great quick fixes for an instant second look for the reception. This lovely lace set, a long sleeved blouse and trumpet skirt, is Bride and You‘s signature set. It makes an excellent piece for a vintage-inspired wedding, by the way.

A simple skirt goes a long way. Bride and You also shares that this New York flared skirt is a trendy piece that also makes its way to many weddings. The popularity of this skirt is undeniable as it can be mixed and matched with different tops (even after the wedding). If there’s one hot 2018 wedding dress trend that gives you options, it’s this!

Bridal separates are also a hit at Vis-à-vis Bridal. This corset top is a prime piece at their shop. “Mixing this chic cropped top with an airy tulle skirt makes a bride look effortlessly fashionable,” Vis-à-vis Bridal adds. You can easily get this look and even experiment with more with the pieces at their shop. Really, creating different looks with bridal separates is all brides ever need this 2018!

Deep Necklines

Brides today are more attuned to their femininity and their body. Hence, we see many brides taking the plunge and going for deeper necklines. This style is definitely one to look out for this 2018 as it elongates the neck and accentuates the right curves of a woman’s bosom. Here are two feminine wedding gowns from Elysian Bridal Couture that exemplify how low necklines work wonders. And don’t worry about showing some skin because you can always find elegant ways to full off a sexy wedding dress.

Intricate Lacework 

Lace work will always be scene stealers. This 2018, wedding dresses take lace details to a whole new level! This Vera Wang gown is an example of intricate lace work that is classic and elegant at the same time. Vis-à-vis Bridal tells us that the era of colored wedding dresses has also arrived, making lace wedding gowns even more captivating! This gown has hints of gold and the rest of the collection favors nude, beige, and cream colors. Hong Kong brides will be thrilled that these gowns are taking over.

Without a doubt, this gown by Crystal Design is a feast for the eyes. Elysian Bridal Couture shares that this wedding gown style–fitted and delicately adorned with lace–is a sought-after look among brides. Again, lace proves that it’s here to stay and challenges trends by being a staple favorite and trendsetter. We don’t think we will ever tire of lace, so lace dresses are more than welcome to flood our Pinterest boards this year.

The Tuscan Countryside Makes for the Perfect Setting for This Dreamy Engagement

I am so glad that Binc Photography shared these photos with us, and that I got a glimpse of this pre-wedding shoot! As I was writing this post, I was continuously being tugged at by excitement because the photos were just too beautiful. It must have been the setting, since Tuscany has always been a place I dream of visiting, or probably because the couple looked like total naturals as they posed, or maybe even because the gown by The Wedding Gown, the styling, and photography were so on point? I do not know how else to put it, but believe me–you are absolutely going to fall for this set!
