Top Unique Wedding Dress Trends of 2020
1. Buff and off-white dresses. For the last couple of years, blush-colored gowns have been the most common color besides white. However, this year buff and off-white are making a comeback. Buff dresses fit a myriad of skin tones, and they’re great for brides who don't feel like the classic white dress with lace and poufy sleeves are for them.
2. Coat-dresses. Coat dresses are popular in street fashion, as well. These statement pieces bring a roughness to the delicate bride silhouette. Perfect for the fashionista bride, coat dresses can be worn as a single piece or as a layer over your wedding dress. They are also perfect for outdoor weddings and winter weddings because they can give an ethereal feel to your big day.
3. Modesty and full-coverage dresses. You can thank the latest royal weddings for this trend. The burst in popularity of full-coverage dresses is known as “The Duchess Effect,” and this year’s full coverage dresses manage to look fashion-forward instead of old-fashioned. You don’t have to show a lot of skin to be sexy, and modesty doesn’t mean you can’t have a well-cut dress.
4. Minimalist dresses. While some brides like to adorn their dress with lace, embroidery, trains, and volume, other brides prefer an understated, minimalist look. A minimalist-inspired dress has nothing to distract from the bride, meaning the look is all about clean lines and architectural elements. A minimalist wedding dress is 100% about the cut, the fit, and the impeccable tailoring.
5. Tiered dresses. This decade is starting with a lot of classics coming back into fashion, and yes, tiered dresses are once again making their rounds. This year they're not being subtle about it, either. Layered tulle dresses add volume without the extra weight and can make any bride feel like a modern-day princess.
6. Sheer dresses. Be nearly naked and also completely covered with a sheer wedding dress. These fashion-forward dresses leave very little to the imagination while still managing to cover all the goods. If you're looking for something a little more daring and a lot more sexy, consider a partially sheer gown for your wedding attire.
There’s nothing wrong with a classic, A-line wedding dress, but if you’re interested in making a statement on your big day, then you should turn to the current fashion trends to get an idea of what’s going to be in style this year. You can marry your style with wedding dress trends for a bold, confident wedding look that you’ll be happy to look back on in ten years.
