Wedding Trends for 2011 Bridal Attire from Applaud Women Winter Issue 2011

Wedding Trends 2011
By: Samantha Arroyo

Believe it or not, wedding season is right around the corner. And with the average bride planning at least six months to a year or more in advance, 2011 wedding trends have been the talk of the town. We have researched the latest and greatest fashion and décor trends and have compiled them into an easy-to-navigate format for brides and grooms. That being said, let's begin.



Wedding Attire 2011

Good news ladies, the latest trends in wedding dresses are not only wearable—they are comfortable without lacking intricate details and show-stopping appeal. Designers are beginning to move away from ruffles and have instead added beautiful crystal embellishments to add visual interest and tulle overlays to maximize volume. Many designers are even incorporating subtle pockets into the folds of the dress to make room for that compact mirror or lip balm. But don't assume that pockets suggest a casual appearance. Rather, the pockets add vintage sophistication—a big trend on the runways. Designers are showcasing streamlined, red-carpet style by incorporating beautiful textures and materials. Two piece dresses are also coming to the forefront to give brides a better fit and more options to individualize their look.

Trend leaders Vera Wang and Reem Acra will continue to capture the princess within every woman's heart with their romantic gowns. Lace remains on the scene as well as the vintage trend we saw emerge in 2010. On runways throughout the United States, designers are featuring trumpet-style dresses that accentuate the right curves and kicks out at the bottom for a touch of pizzazz.

And brides can forget the cathedral veil this season. Instead, brides will be favoring family heirlooms, bird cage veils, or flower arrangements in lieu of elaborate head pieces.

Bridesmaids will follow suit. Tea-length styles and light and billowy dresses will be all the rage this spring.

For the men, 2011 trends suggest that grooms will be steering away from tuxedos and opting for a more casual suit alternative. Michael Andrews, CEO of Michael Andrew Bespoke in New York, says that there is a strong trend towards less formal weddings. Cotton and linen suits are a modern option for daytime and destination weddings. Andrews also said that there has been a high demand for the bow tie. For years, long black ties had eclipsed the traditional bow tie in popularity, but it's back for 2011 and making a statement.
