Channel Stevie Nick’s 70s rebellious glamour in this chiffon bridal gown complete with maxi bow. Maxi bows are a wedding dress trend that feels plucked right from an airy, enthralling dream. And, the covered buttons trailing down the back and onto the train enhance the vintage dreaminess of this simple, affordable wedding dress.

Elegant Lace Wedding Dress with Square Neckline: Cairo by Maggie Sottero

Square necklines are not only a super-stylish wedding dress trend, but also super flattering! Cairo by Maggie Sottero is expertly modern, fresh, and fashion-forward. The lush lace and square neckline make for an ultra-romantic and playful wedding dress.

The stretch crepe, lace, and illusion side cutouts add an element of subtle sexiness. And like any marvelous art piece, having embroidered lace elements elevate this chic wedding dress.

Crepe Wedding Dress with Bishop Sleeves: Arta by Sottero and Midgley

This wedding dress trend has transcended around the globe and through time. Bishop sleeves have always been a staple in fashion. More recently, Hollywood Starlets dawned these on red carpets in the 1930s and free-spirited dreamers loved this sleeve treatment in the 1960s. We’re here to modernize this wedding dress trend (while still letting its vintage charm shine).

Take Arta by Sottero and Midgley for example. The combination of illusion and 3-D flowers on the bishop sleeves take this lovely crepe wedding dress from vintage sophistication to modern, fashion-forward elegance. So chic!

The minimalist wedding dress trend ignited in Paris, and now brides all over the world love to make a simple, stunning statement with their bridal fashion. This international wedding dress trend shines in Augusta by Rebecca Ingram.

Take a look at the thoughtful construction of the seams, which is sure to outline your gorgeous figure. We also adore the small but impactful detail of the plunging scoop back with crisscross straps. This bridal gown is a Grade-A example of the minimalist wedding dress trend, and we’re obviously obsessed.

Lace Bridal Gown with a Statement Train: Gretna by Maggie Sottero

Picture it now- a statement train floating down the aisle, creating a truly regal moment. Statement wedding dress trains are an international wedding dress trend popularized by Princess Diana in the 1980s. Fun fact: her wedding dress train was 25 feet long (!!!).

Recreate that iconic moment in fashion history with Gretna by Maggie Sottero. In addition to the statement scallop illusion lace train, we love the lace motifs over Chantilly lace and sparkled textured tulle! Gorgeous!
