Listen ladies, remember your moms wedding dress? Poufy sleeves, shoulder pads, taffeta, ball gown, etc.? Ask them and they will say “that’s what was in then.” I know this because I myself, asked my mom! Take this picture of my mom and dad for example...

One thing you'll notice right away is that this is the cutest cake moment photo-- but more importantly, her gloves!! She was obsessed with her gloves. Asking her today, she says she doesn't regret them at all and still loves them. Now that, that was a good decision on her end. Trends always sound great at the time because you want to be cutting edge, and you want a dress that no one has ever seen before- I mean you have to in 2020 thanks to social media. Weddings have become this public social media competition, but don’t get me started- that’s a topic for another day. What I'm trying to say is that we need to be cautious before following a trend. 

Are trends a mistake to follow? Not at all. I love a good trend. And honestly no bride can look into the future and see if sleeves will be in for another 2 years. So if you like it, go for it. 

I urge caution when it feels like you're following a trend out of your comfort zone and not true to you. When you are out of your comfort zone is typically when you have second thoughts about a wedding dress. And that's exactly what we don't want to happen lol! 

A wedding dress is about staying true to YOU, and your personality, but also feeling confident and beautiful on the best day of your life. 
In my opinion, who wouldn’t want to look elegant, romantic, and timeless. I think there is something to be said about looking back at wedding photos and not knowing if the photos were in 2010 or 2035. 

From a design standpoint, I LOVE the cutting edge designs that hit the runway every bridal fashion week but they aren’t always flattering or functional. Some things that will never go out of style are silk and silk blends, the A-line silhouette, a cathedral veil, and button details.
