A Dress to Impress : Trends That We Love

When it comes to your wedding day and choosing your wedding dress, many people may feel intimidated or not know where to begin with so many options with regards to styles and trends. The most important thing when choosing a dress is finding one that reflects your personality and who you are. Are you classic and elegant? Are you modern and keeping up with the trends? These are all things you need to ask yourself and visualize when choosing a dress for your special day. Now the fun part, here are 5 different wedding dress trends and styles that we love currently and want to share with the HER community. The styles shown below are showcased and sold at Sash and Bustle in Toronto and they are always there to help brides find their perfect match for a dress.

Sheer Fabrics

If you’re looking for a light and airy option for your wedding, a sheer dress is perfect. When most people think of sheer, they think sexy, am I right? While sheer can be a sexy option for your wedding there are styles that do not bear too much skin and express elegance and class. Sheer is also a great option for a minimalist and simple bride. In the last few years, we have seen an increase in modern and simple aesthetics for weddings and a sheer dress would pair with that perfectly.

 Asymmetrical Necklines

This dress option would suit a bride who has an edgy personality and is not afraid to steer away from the classic bridal looks. What is fantastic about this type of dress and why it is so popular among brides is that you can still customize the shape of your dress while just altering the neckline. This year this dress has been extremely prevalent as an after party mini dress as well as the reception option. It screams fun and flirty while still allowing brides to alter the silhouette of their dress to their preferred taste.

Classic Ballgowns

Even with the increase in modern and mini dresses there is still a heavy demand for the classic ballgown. If your taste is more traditional and you want your dress to be timeless, you can’t go wrong with a classic ballgown. There is so much variety and option for details that although this option is a classic, you can customize your dress to fit your aesthetic and personality.

Boudoir inspired

For a bride who loves her body and is not afraid of showing it, the boudoir inspired dresses are one of our top picks. From the intricately designed corsets to the tight silhouettes, this type of dress does a perfect job at showcasing what it means to be both bridal and sexy. These dresses are undoubtedly sexy; however, they still express class and beauty which is something all brides want to feel on their wedding day.

Off the Shoulder with Sleeves

Possible one of our favourite picks this year and one of the hottest trends of 2022 that will be carried into 2023 is the Off the Shoulder with Sleeves dress. The best thing about this type of dress is that there are so many different ways to style it. We have seen brides do a tight mermaid styled dress with a lace sleeve as well as a loose-fitting ball gown with puffy sleeves. This type of dress is the most customizable and can be tailored to all body types and bride styles.
