If you have a keen eye for fashion and are of the ‘freshly proposed to’ variety, I have no doubt that the burning question of The Dress is weighing on your mind. Although if you’re anything like me, proposing wasn’t even on the cards when I was putting serious thought into The Dress. *Ahem*. Let’s just agree that The Dress is verrry important.
So, that fact established, you’ll no doubt be wondering what wedding dress trends you need to keep in mind. Because being accused of being ‘so yesterday’ on your wedding day would be no fun at all. Although if you have friends like that, dear reader, please don’t invite them.
I valiantly shoulder the task of eyeballing wedding dresses on a regular basis (see, those years of research are unwasted. I’m not a frivolous time waster after all). So here’s my take on the top 10 wedding dress trends for 2018 from the latest bridal gown collections to hit the catwalks.
1. The Sheer Look
The sheer wedding dress look is officially on trend. Yep, you read that right – sheer, as in see-through.
Now depending on how brave you are, you can go for actual nipple exposure, or just pretend nipple exposure with a nude coloured material underneath. It’s like a really great joke on your grandma to give her a slight heart attack until she manages a closer look. Unless of course you go for full nipple exposure. In which case I hope your grandma is made of stern stuff.
