Top Six Wedding Dress Trends for 2009/2010
Our current wedding fashion trends feel really diverse – you can have a wedding gown style based on pretty much any era of fashion and still be extremely fashionable.
So what’s in store for this year and next? What wedding dress styles are hot, or going to become hot? Some leading wedding gown designers were asked that same question, and the following are what they predicted.
1. Sexy Slinky Silhouettes
If you’ve got a fab figure (or fantastic suction underwear!), now is the time to do a victory dance – sexy, figure-hugging wedding dress silhouettes will be hot for the next couple of seasons.
Left to right:
Maggie Sottero, Justin Alexander, Jesus Peiro
2. Ballgown Styles
For those who loved the wildly ridiculous yet fabulous gowns in Gone with the Wind (*blush*), and for many of us who want to disguise our thighs, ballgown style wedding gowns are back. Fabulous! Ballgown wedding dresses have many rather wonderful upsides, including squishing you into the shape you desire, giving you fabulous cleavage, and being impossible to remove on your own 
.

Sottero & Midgley, Maureen Myring Kesterton, Ian Stuart
3. Fifties style wedding gowns
This is the one I’m really very pleased about – I always have and probably always will love 50’s style glamour. There’s something about the whole belted waist idea that makes me happy. And the Stephanie Allin gown on the left is probably my current favourite gown of any I’ve seen (…and I see a LOT).

Stephanie Allin, Sarah Danielle, Suzanne Ermann
4. Mermaid Style Wedding Gowns
Apparently mermaid style wedding gowns are also a fifties influence, and thinking about it, one of my favourite dresses of all time is the dress Audrey Hepburn wore to the races in My Fair Lady – an extremely tight-fitting mermaid style gown.
From the left:
Benjamin Roberts, Pronovias, Ellis Bridals
5. Tea-length wedding dresses
Tea-length wedding dresses are fabulous for a more casual, less traditional wedding, especially if you have a nice pair of pins and some knock-out shoes. Once again, the 50s influence is shining through!

Alan Hannah, Charlotte Balbier, Leigh Hetherington,
6. Grecian Goddess wedding dresses
Are you in touch with your inner goddess? Grecian style wedding dresses are hot at the moment – high-waisted with floaty materials, they would make me look like a mountain, but if you’re slim and smaller breasted, it’s a style that could look stunning.

They are fabulous. I do like the second dress in the first row, it is my hope, that one can be available for me, when I am getting married. I will be delightful, if the cost can be posted and the necessary avenues for its availability

Hi I came across your webpage by mistake, I was surfing around for New Designer Fashion when I came upon your blog, I must say your blog is very cool I just love the layout, its astounding!. I’m in a bit of a rush right now to completely browse your website but I have saved the location of it and also subscribed for your RSS feeds. I will be back in a day or two. Thank you for a great site.

To S. Noreen Daley….you can find the dress you like so much on the Justin Alexander website, page 7, dress #8412. They have a picture of the back of the dress there, it’s beautiful. The location of retailers that sell the dresses are listed on the website. Prices are rarely listed, you usually have to inquire with a retailer to find that out.

Whew, what a relief! I chose a gown that is not only perfect for me, but is also in line with the trends for 09-10!
My gown is under section #2: the Sottero & Midgley on the left (RSM1038) and let me assure anyone else who might be interested, that it is JUST a fabulous in person as it is on the model in the photo! Pretty much anything Maggie Sottero = MAGnificent!

Hi, I absolutely LOVE the mermaid gown that’s in the middle but cannot find it anywhere on the designers websites. I searched and searched Pronovias, Ellis Bridals and Benjamin Roberts which are listed as the dress designers, but no luck. Please help… I reallllllly want that dress. Thx.

Hi Kimberly,
I’ve had a fruitless search too. It’s Pronovias, and from last year’s collection – they must have dropped it. If you have a ring around their stockists, you might get lucky.
