The wedding industry is gearing up for an exciting year! The coming year will be the year for romance. As expected, the royal wedding had a big influence on the brides of 2019. Every bride deserves to feel like a princess on her wedding day. Also, every bride dream about the perfect honeymoon as well, but we’ll keep focus on colors and the big wedding day!

There is an exciting twist for the coming bridal seasons. Brides seem to be making contrasting selections. Why is this so exciting? Because every bride, regardless of personal tastes, can wear a trending gown for her big day.

Contrast in gowns

There are two primary looks trending for brides of 2019. One group is wearing a modern version of a traditional wedding dress. This dress is fitted at the top and has a voluminous skirt. This is truly a princess-style dress. The gowns are adorned with sparkle and glamour. Beautiful ribbon wraps the waist with a bow in the back. This gown has long-sleeves and either a plunging neckline that is very low or a Victorian style neckline that touches the throat.

A modern touch to this gown is a mock top. The top made of lace is fitted over the plunging neckline or sweetheart top. This gives the illusion of more coverage while it loses none of its sex appeal.

The second option that brides are demanding is a form-fitting silhouette gown. The mermaid bottom is popular, but many brides are keeping the flare less obvious.

A fun twist on this gown is the bride wearing the form-fitting gown with a halter style top. The low cut back adds more sex appeal. To get two looks from one gown, brides are wearing a bridal cape. It is secured at the neck and drapes down the brides bareback. When she removes the cape the original and daring dress is breathtaking.

The Newest Choice On The Board

This year you will be seeing the formal pantsuit or bridal jumpsuit. These lovely outfits allow more freedom and comfort while maintaining a formal standard.

White, Diamond White, or Ivory

The hue of the wedding gown is usually narrowed down to one of these colors. There is white which is crisp and clear. For the brightest white, the choice is diamond white. Ivory is a creamy white. Which one should you wear? If you have fair to medium skin tones with golden undertones or darker skin, you can wear white or diamond white. Diamond white gives a glow of youthfulness and innocence. If you are fairer or have pink undertones, ivory is your color. If you are not sure where you fit, remember ivory flatters every skin color.

White gowns are adorned with a lot of sparkle and jewels. If an ivory gown requires some shimmer, use pearl to embellish it.

Bridesmaids

Pink has been nudged over and lavender and hues of purple are stepping in. Other colors that are trending include royal purple, plum, deep red, and navy. If you are looking to use the latest metallic color, you will find rust has arrived on the 2019 wedding runway.

Shop for a fun and flirty short bridesmaid dress. It is not easy matching purples, so have each of your bridesmaids wear the same color. If you want to give them some freedom, let them wear their favorite style or select unique shoes.

Romantic and more formal weddings are trending for 2019 in chapels, cathedrals, and event halls. Outdoor weddings are taking place near bodies of water or with the beach or mountains in the distance. This is the year of the princess bride, with her tiara and wedding cape. Let the magic begin.
