What Brides in 2007 Are Wearing
When it comes to "Something New" for their wedding day, most brides start with the all-important wedding
dress. The latest news in finding the wedding dress of your dreams is to seek a look that expresses your
special personality and style.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be the belle of the ball; make sure you try a variety of silhouettes
in various fabrics to find a gorgeous dress that is uniquely you," says Diane Forden, editor-in-chief of
Bridal Guide. Reading bridal magazines and surfing bridal Web sites, is a great way to get a feel for the
latest trends and to start thinking about the styles you like. However, says Forden, "Just because a gown
looks great on the model in the photograph, doesn't mean it's the best 'fit' for your figure or your
personality." Her advice: Be open minded about trying different looks, especially those suggested by your
bridal consultant.
"2007 bridal fashions evoke a more romantic feel than in recent years," says Jeff Moore, senior vice
president of bridal product development at one of the country's chain stores.. Dressing up and feeling
fabulous is back in style, with ladylike silhouettes that are both classic and dreamy.
If you've been reading the bridal magazines or surfing the net, you know that sweetheart necklines and
updated halters are everywhere; strapless gowns continue to be a bridal mainstay as well. "All of these
necklines offer great opportunities for accessorizing, which once again allows you to personalize your look,"
says Moore. Online stores that feature a wide range of choices like Town & Country can save you time and
money. But don't overlook smaller, specialty sites. Their merchandise is often affordable and elegant, too.
A-line silhouettes, which complement just about every body type, are a perennial favorite. Ballgowns and
sheath style dresses, both in keeping with the trend toward romance, are also popular. One of the newest
silhouettes is also among the most figure-flattering -- side-drape dresses, which look graceful and
gorgeous, while hiding any figure flaws. For more intimate or destination weddings, choose from among a
great selection of tea-length dresses, in lace as well as other "packable" fabrics.
You'll also see a bevy of elegant embellishments on bridal gowns in 2005. Traditional embellishments such
as lace, pearls, appliques and hand-beading adorn many dresses. Embroidery using metallic thread is
putting an updated twist that lends a sparkling effect to the latest designs.
If you're wondering how you'll ever find your perfect dress among all the options out there, Moore has two
pieces of advice. "First, bring along a friend or relative when you shop so you have someone to help you
compare the dresses you try on. Second, trust your bridal consultant. They work with brides every day and
have an innate sense about what will look good on you. Plus, they know the store's selection inside and
out."
Dressing the Bridal Party
Allow your bridesmaids to showcase their individuality as well. You'll want to select a color scheme, but your
bridesmaids may want to create their own unique combinations from a choice of several styles. Complete
the bridal party look by accessorizing with color-coordinated shoes, matching purses and complementing
jewelry.
This year, bridesmaids silhouettes are updated with alternative lengths and asymmetrical hems. With
brides leaning towards utilizing more color in their weddings, bridesmaids dresses can now be found in a
varied color palette -- from soft pastels to warm, bright hues. In accordance with bridal trends, bridal party
dresses also include embellishments such as flowers, ribbons, bows, sashes and beading.
Today it's common for bridesmaids to be scattered across the country. If this is the case for your bridal
party, take this into consideration when selecting a store at which to purchase their bridal party dresses.
Accent on Accessories
Bridal accessories go way beyond the veil this year as jewelry, gloves, handbags and more all play an
important part. The softer look in bridal dresses is reflected in the gentler drape of veils this season, and
veils carry through the trend of embellishment as well. You'll see veils bejeweled with crystals, gold thread,
fresh water pearls and rhinestones in addition to classically simple scalloped veils.
The embellishment theme is also reflected in wraps and handbags, for example, with a beautiful floral
pattern on a handbag. The sophisticated look of pearls and gold will also be strong, especially in tiara and
jewelry collections. The classic string of pearls is always appropriate; for something trendier, consider
sparkling rhinestone chandelier earrings.
Gloves are making a comeback this year, in keeping with the romantic direction of bridal fashion. You'll find
them from wrist-length to over-the-elbow, in 2-, 12- and 16-button styles, and even gauntlets are making a
return.

- Trying on a range of styles can be simplified by choosing a store that
offers a wide selection of gowns that reflect all the newest trends in
wedding dresses as well as classic styles. While many local bridal
shops only receive new merchandise once or twice a year, a larger,
national store has a continual stream of new designs, and hence,
more options for brides.
"Affordable luxury" is a buzzword for today's brides, who want an
upscale look without the couture price tag. Try shopping at a store
that has a great selection of wedding dresses in a variety of price
points and that carries a wide range of sizes in stock. After all, if
you're a size 18, you don't want to have to squeeze into a size 8
sample dress and try to imagine what it will look like on you.
