Top 10 wedding dress trends for 2022
Choosing your dream dress is one of the most exciting parts of wedding planning but it isn't always an easy task. Whether you've been dreaming about it since you were little or haven't given it much thought until now, the huge amount of choice can be totally overwhelming. We recommend keeping an open mind and trying on all different styles, as you might be surprised to fall for a style you haven't even considered.
So where do you start? Today, Florida wedding planner and Fine Art Curation member Terrie Images shares 10 top wedding dress trends for 2022 to get you inspired. From blousy puff leaves to colored floral gowns; elegant corsets to gorgeous appliqué, you're sure to find some wedding dress details you love.
1. Off-shoulder wedding dresses
Off-the-shoulder wedding dresses never fail to exude an aura of elegance for any bride who’s lucky to be wearing one! This dress style is ideal for the classic bride keen to create a timelessly elegant look and perfect for showing off special jewelry. We adore this gorgeous Jaye Applewaite gown (above) that has an ethereal otherworldly feel.
2. Puff sleeve wedding dresses
Puff sleeves are making a comeback! From the iconic 1980s balloon sleeves to fairytale off-the-shoulder silhouettes, we want sleeves that puff in 2022! This Thandiwe dress from Lillie Mae Collection is everything we could dream of with its breezy flowing silhouette in a gorgeous shade of cream.
3. Rosette wedding dresses
If you love creative details on your wedding dress, consider one with beautiful rosettes. These intricate three-dimensional floral patterns add a touch of romance and old-but-gold elegance to a modern look. I swooned when I saw the rosette details on this Calla dress from Lillie Mae Collection.
4. Ruffle wedding dresses
Ruffles are having a fresh moment in the limelight and I'm so happy about it. There’s something so playful and quirky about them and they set such a dreamy, magical mood. These Cotton Candy dresses from Lillie Mae Collection (below) are so youthful and fun! If you like a romantic statement gown with lots of swish, ruffles could be for you
5. Colored floral wedding dresses
I love the traditional all-white wedding dresses but many brides are opting to add some pops of colors to their bridal gown through beautiful colored floral patterns. Whether colored tulle, embroidery, appliqué or hand-painted like this blue beauty from The Southern Swan Bridal, hand painted by Emily Plank. Just stunning!
6. High neckline wedding dresses
Imagine walking down the aisle, sashaying your way to your groom, feeling and looking like royalty. A high neckline dress is such an elegant look, whether you choose a halter style or cover from your neck to your wrists like this lovely feather gown from Xiaolin Design. Either way, you are going to look like a queen!
7. Long-sleeved wedding dresses
Long sleeves wedding dresses have been around for centuries but the style was given a fresh lease of life when the Duchess of Cambridge wore her iconic bridal gown on her wedding. If you’re a fan of Say Yes to the Dress, you’ve probably heard brides coming in, looking for a 'Kate Middleton dress' and more than 10 years later, brides still want it! I especially love this gown from Nicole Maree Bridal (above) and delicate Jaye Applewaite dress (below) with the perfect skirt for swooshing.
8. Corseted wedding dresses
Who would have thought that corsets would survived until the 21st century? You’ve probably seen them in bridal magazines or Pinterest boards but with a more modernized look. I think they’re simply beautiful! Plus a corset bust will hug you in all the right areas and accentuate your lovely curves. This Vivian dress from Lillie Mae Collection gives a contemporary take on the classic corset. Divine!
9. Lace wedding dresses
Lace has long been a favourite with royal brides and it certainly has an elegant, regal feel to it. Romantic and classic, or more revealing and a little risqué, you'll find a lace gown to suit, whatever your style.
10. Sweetheart wedding dresses
Another classic, sweetheart necklines remain a firm favourite with brides year after year. A sweetheart neckline is called as such because of its romantic shape and is perfect for showing off your décolletage. It's been a classic look for decades and this elegant Maya dress from Lillie Mae Collection shows why.
