You’re engaged! You’ve got the ring, set the date…now it’s time to start shopping for the dress.
Of course, wedding dress shopping can be stressful. It’s possible that you’ve never even thought about the kind of dress you’d like or maybe you had a wedding dress style in mind and discovered it’s not really you. So where do you start? Don’t just hit the stores and expect the perfect dress to fall into your lap. You’ve got to do some research Madames, so we’ve scoured through the racks and present you with the hottest designer wedding gown trends for 2011.
Some of the last season’s wedding gown trends are still “in” but with a twist. For example, the soft and feminine detailing will be as chic in 2011 bridal gowns as it is in 2010 wedding dresses.
