With a range of different designs from figure hugging mermaid styles to simple and flowing satin numbers gracing the wedding runways this season, it’s safe to say that bridal fashion for 2017 is going to be very eclectic. Browse through any magazine and you’ll see that there’s just about everything on offer from pale ivory to bold flower embroideries. The shapes are either soft and tactile, big skirted statement pieces or elegant and fitted with stunning plunging back details. Fabrics are changing too, though there’s still plenty of lace about, simpler looks are beginning to come in with shape holding satins and silks as well as tulle and organza.
Another key trend for 2017 is the move away from tradition, with weddings becoming fun-filled parties with plenty of entertainment and less formality. With this in mind, brides are keen to have a dress designed with versatility so that they can create the illusion of a different look from day to night without having to change out of their dress. To achieve this changeability, Forget Me Not suggests adorning the bride with a ¾ length sleeved lace jacket which buttons up the back and fastens around the waist, with a belt concealing the jacket hem. When evening arrives, the bride can remove the jacket to reveal a strapless dress with the same, different or no belt to alter the look in time to party. Forget Me Not Designs are on hand to assist you in choosing your perfect dress, whatever it may be.
DRESS
TO IMPRESS
Radiating sophistication and elegance, glamorous blush, champagne and light gold tones are a huge trend for 2017 dress shades.
