Whether you want to follow the crowd or embrace your own signature style on your big day, bridal wear trends are a good place to start when thinking about your wedding dress. With bridal fashions evolving much more slowly than those on the high street, many brides continuing to choose a timeless and classic look. Generally, bridal design has become more daring and adventurous in recent years. Brides used to be quite limited to classic red dresses. Today, they can play around not only with colour and texture, but with silhouettes and shapes as well.

When it comes to bridal wear, Pakistan has a wide range of designers who offer an array of spectacular bridal designs and styles to choose from. Every year designers come up with stunning and eye-catching bridal costumes that set the tone for the next season. This week we have compiled few bridal trends & tricks to make you look impeccable on your wedding day…


Colours

For their wedding attires, most brides go for traditional red. The designers wisely select the colour and mix it with other colours to stay with roots as well and to bring innovations to the designs and theme as well. While red continues to be the go-to option for most brides-to-be, designers now offer wedding ensembles in a range of soft and subtle colour options like blush, baby blue, pastel purple, pink, champagne, and baby blue. Some designers have started using daring, bold hue such as black in bridal dresses. The colourful options, whether bold or bashful, are perfect for a non-traditional bride who wants to make a statement.

Bring on the bling

While the glitz and glitter is nothing new where bridal fashion is concerned, over-the-top sequins, tonal beading and embellishments turned the Fall 2020 Bridal Fashion Week runways into a glittery affair. In 2020, old world is new again in the form of fresh embellishments, large doses of colour, and statement details that pack a punch.

Simplicity

Minimalists, this is your time to shine. With clean lines and minimum embroidery, sleek wedding dresses are liked by today’s modern brides. Simple materials, like plain silk crepe or satin, create a timeless look. Brides can stick to the simple theme by adding a few delicate pieces of jewellery. Some designers are even expanding into patterns with colourful abstract and floral prints.

Fabric

Wedding dresses are usually made by the combination of different fabrics but before you combine different clothing stuff together you need to know about these popular fabrics.

Chiffon: It is the one fabric that has been in used by the brides for decades now. This one particular stuff gives a very subtle look to the wedding dress and it has a great fall. But due to the fragility, this fabric becomes snag and fray easily.

Organza: This fabric is again light and transparent. You can shape it easier and better than the chiffon. This fabric is good for embellishments and makes a good bridal lehenga.

Silk: If you want to wear a beautiful wedding jora then silk is the one fabric for you that is clean and has a very beautiful texture. This fabric is also symbolic of royalty.
