“This is a very bold, dramatic colour for weddings, and brides are adding a black touch to their dresses such as a bow, or striking flowers, or black lace gloves, and then tying this together through the bridesmaids dresses, invitation stationery and décor of the venue.”

“Very low dropped waistlines are also very popular, with bodices that are ruched, gathered, or draped – all to hug the figure and smooth over any figure flaws! Strapless gowns are still in, though a big catwalk trend is the one-shoulder wedding gown.”
