For brides wondering what will be the hottest looks in wedding gowns for spring 2009, the answer is fresh and feminine. Forget about traditional or heavy gowns, these dresses have a lighter, more fluttery effect. For more about the freshest looks for spring 2009, read on...
One of the things that really gives a wedding gown its style is the fabric that the designer uses. For spring, the most popular fabrics are sheer and crisp, like silk organza, tulle, and even Swiss dot. These materials allow the designers to create wedding dresses that are airy and have lots of movement, while still being able to maintain shape, silhouette, and details.
Speaking of details, they are everywhere. Some of the current trends involve, layers, ruffles, and handkerchief hems, all of which have great flow and movement when the bride walks down the aisle. They are perfect for the bride who wants her big entrance to be red carpet worthy! And yet, because these dresses have their details created mostly from fabric, instead of heavy beading or lace, they are still soft enough to be perfect for an outdoor daytime wedding, as well.
The spring 2009 dresses are all about character. Although most of them still have the same neckline (strapless), they all have unique and distinctive details. These are definitely not cookie cutter style gowns, which is great, because they will allow each bride to show her individual taste. Whether you like something sexy, flowery, flowy, or even flouncy, there is a gown that will capture your essence.
Many of the spring gowns have empire waistlines that hit right under the bust, or in some cases, a touch higher. Yards of soft fabric flow from the waistline, creating a shape that is very graceful. It is a much less fitted look than you may be used to seeing, so it can take some getting used to. The best idea when looking at a new shape is to keep an open mind and try one on, because you might end up loving it. This type of cut is also very forgiving, so that the bride can enjoy a few bites of cake at the wedding!
When looking at such eclectic styles of gowns, you will want to choose interesting accessories to coordinate. Pearl bridal jewelry has long been a favorite of brides, and makes a beautiful complement to such feminine and graceful gowns. Because the gowns are less traditional, consider alternatives to your mother's classic strand of pearls. More open and airy pearl bridal jewelry, such as long drop earrings, or crystal and pearl pendants will suit the breezy effect of the organza and tulle better. Another fantastic look is organic shaped keshi pearls. Keshi or "petal" pearls are very popular with high-end designers, but you can also find some very affordable keshi pearl jewelry online.
For the final finishing touch, you will want to choose a hairstyle that is also fresh and romantic. Soft waves cascading over the shoulders are perfect for brides with longer hair. To give it some shape, pull back the sides of your hair (this will also make it easier to anchor your hair jewelry). If you prefer to wear your hair up, a messy bun or chignon is a lovely option. Avoid any hairdos that are overly stiff or contrived.
The spring 2009 collection offers many great options for brides. Some of the best looks are those that are feminine and fresh. The unique styling of these wedding gowns is something that every bride will appreciate.
