Here are the 12 stunning wedding trends you have to look out for in 2017.
1. Off-Shoulder Dresses
Off-shoulder outfits are all the rage these days and it’s not difficult to see why. This shoulder-and-décolletage-baring trend is sexy, sweet, elegant, romantic and timeless all at once.

2. Illusion Dresses
Since the introduction of illusion dresses to the bridal world, the illusion trend has become a staple in many wedding gowns. Be it a romantic illusion neckline or a sensual full illusion dress, this trend allows brides to bare as little or as much as they want while ensuring that their modesty is being kept.

3. Nude Underlay
Wedding dresses with a nude underlay are perfect options for brides who find illusion dresses a little risque but love that barely-there look. The nude underlay gives off the impression of a translucent gown without requiring any or much skin bared. It also makes the outer layer, usually an intricate lace fabric, pop, giving the gown a more 3D look.

4. Sexy Backs
Rather than baring your décolletage, why not flaunt your toned back instead? Gowns with a sexy back, be it a low back or one peppered with intricate lace details, offer an element of surprise and romance, and a hint of sexy and playfulness to your outfit.

5. Two-Piece
Two-piece wedding dresses are chic, fun, versatile and full of personality. Be it a midriff-baring crop top and skirt combination or one that covers the length of your torso to meet the waistband of the skirt, two-piece numbers give off a laidback, whimsical vibe that are perfect for casual and intimate weddings.

6. Long Sleeves
Sleeved wedding dresses are steadily gaining popularity over the years ever since Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, donned an elegant lace sleeved wedding gown for her wedding. Gowns with illusion sleeves are a great way to maintain modesty and show a hint of skin without sacrificing style.

7. Fit and Flare Dresses
Fit and flare dresses are a great middle ground between a figure-skimming mermaid or trumpet gown and a bigger A-line or ballgown silhouette. As its name suggests, this trending gown silhouette is fitted at the waist like a mermaid or trumpet gown but starts to flare out slightly at the hips.

8. Pastel Colours
Whimsical, romantic and very wedding-appropriate, gowns in soft shades like blush and lilac make great alternatives to the traditional white wedding gown. These delicate hues are perfect for brides who are searching for coloured gowns that carry just a hint of colour for that bridal look instead of an evening one.

9. Regal Silhouettes
Channel the queen in you with these regal silhouettes that exude elegance, grace, timelessness and romance on your wedding day. Gowns with regal silhouettes often feature an A-line or ballgown shape, beautiful intricate details and a whimsical flair that makes it oh-so-perfect for the royal wedding of your dreams.

10. Beaded Dresses
If you want a hint of sparkle to your dress, opt for beaded embellishments instead of lace appliqué. Beading adds a layer of texture and dimension to the gown while giving it a subtle glint that’s just enough to dazzle all your guests.

Lace remains the all-time favourite detail in the making of wedding gowns. The delicacy, intricacy and dreamy and ornate nature of lace makes it a staple feature for wedding gowns of any shape or colour.

12. Coloured Dresses
Rich and bold hues like burgundy, sapphire blue and sea-green exude a formality and grandeur that is parallel to a wedding celebration. These deep, passionate tones are especially perfect for a night-time wedding celebration, although they can be worn during the day as well.
