2013 Wedding dress trends

Seven major trends surfaced from the Fall 2013 wedding dress collections, some of which were anchored in the Spring 2013 collections. From high-neck Victorian wedding dresses to sleek, minimal gowns in white, to blush-colored confections, to classic silhouettes splashed with florals, the Fall 2013 bridal runways were full of innovative and inspired creations. Here, 42 dresses that point to the key trends for Fall 2013.

Trend: Blush wedding dresses

Shades of blush—whether peach-hued or outright pink—were big on the Fall 2013 bridal runway. Traditional white wedding dresses don't flatter everyone's skin tone, so it's a lovely option to have, as well as soft and feminine. "It's an alternative to white, but still looks like a wedding dress," says Brides Fashion Director Rachel Leonard.

Trend: Sweet romantic wedding dresses

Last season's runways saw plenty of lace, and this time around, the soft, romantic trend continues—although with freer, less figure-conscious silhouettes. "It's a little bit of an English influence, especially with the popularity of Downton Abbey," says Leonard. "It's very innocent—romantic, not sexy."

Your wedding gowns are beautiful my favorites are # 39, 33, 32,11, and # 8

really classic looking sexy and romantic, Really don't like the strapless or sleeveless,they remind me a nightgown (to be left in the bedroom) so you think I'm a Prudes believe me I'm not. I watch some of the programs on television and I don't understand why they seem to put a large bride in a strapless gown (not flattering at all) we all know you have the girls Please cover them up already, save something for later. I am sorry if I offend anyone its just the way I feel. Again really Beautiful Gowns
