Happily Ever After

July 9, 2016

Once upon a time not so very long ago, bridal style took a turn towards couture gowns designed for dramatic impact with plunging necklines and architectural details. The clock has struck twelve on this dramatic trend as romantic and enchanting bridal styles are making a return in 2016. The top bridal designers are showcasing dreamy gowns of delicate lace, intricate beading and full princess skirts. This year’s fanciful designs have a more modest look with glamorous long sleeves or fairy-dusted beaded bodices with delicate shoulder straps or cap sleeves.
