Ultra Trendy Dresses

When it comes to choosing your wedding dress, it’s understandable that you want to look super chic and stylish. If you’re the type of bride who always has her finger on the fashion pulse you may well want a wedding dress that is super hot and bang on trend. Well, may I suggest you hold that thought a moment?

Think of the height of fashion 20 years ago. We’ve all seen our mothers wedding photos; Huge net meringue monstrosities with bubble skirts and sleeves. Lovely. If that seems too distant, think of 10 years ago- platform trainers and cargo pants. Or even just five years or two years. Fashion moves so quickly that a super trendy dress could become super embarassing in just a few months.

This Ritva Westenius dress (above) is one such example. This bubble/pencil skirt hybrid is huge in high street shops at the moment, for reasons completely unknown to myself. Why you would want to leave the house on a normal day in one of these chaotic, unflattering beasts is beyond me, let alone on your wedding day. You could be stashing your wedding photos away in shame just this time next year.

As for this Alfred Sung style, the top part is gorgeous. Classic, elegant and timeless- everything you want in a wedding dress. So why destroy it with this bubbly tucked skirt. Fishtail skirts are great and a vintage classic. This 21st century take on a fishtail skirt is not. It creates the effect of looking like a half-melted candle. Not quite what I mean by a hot look.

Take my advice: Choose something simple and classic. A dress that will never date. That way even in 50 years time, whilst your friends’ photos gather dust hidden in the darkest corners of the attic, you can proudly show off your wedding photos with the same enthusiastic as when they were taken.
