Wedding dresses 2019: statement bows

Statement bows made it big in 2019. With itthe girlish design elementdoesn't seem too sweet, simple, minimalist bridal gowns with a figure-hugging cut are preferred. The mermaid wedding dress by Carolina Herrera (top left) impresses with its perfect cut and makes the hearts of minimalists beat faster. The strict silhouette is loosened up with a bow below the knee, where the dress widens. At Viktor & Rolf, the asymmetrical one-shoulder neckline comes into its own thanks to the XXL bow.

The knot as an accent

Reduced-looking wedding dresses have been making a comeback since the wedding of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. This year, too, numerous designers sent their models onto the catwalks with simple wedding dresses without glitter or lace. Instead, they rely on extravagant cuts and high-quality fabrics. For example, taffeta is suitable for autumn and winter, while silk is worn in the summer months. If even the slight shimmer of these fabrics is too much for you, you can opt for chiffon. So that the silhouette doesn't look boring, the expressive knot comes into play as an alternative to the cute bow.

Long transparent puff sleeves

Long and extra voluminous puff sleeves with transparent details are clearly on trend this year. The cut from the Baroque period is being interpreted in a modern way by some designers. Light fabrics such as organza, tulle and lace conjure up a casual look and empire cuts bring a retro touch to the design. Fabrics embroidered with pearls look particularly elegant (top right). But if you want to achieve a dramatic effect, choose a bridal gown with a high tulle collar. The absolute classic gives the outfit a cultivated touch. The A-line cut looks extremely elegant and guarantees the highest level of comfort.

Carmen neckline with ruffles

The deep Carmen neckline leaves the shoulders free and at the same time emphasizes the cleavage. The bridal house Temperley London shows the way (photo above left): The sleeves of your wedding dress impress with elaborate ruffles made of tulle and the heart-shaped neckline is reminiscent of the dressesDisney princesses. The narrow, loosely falling, lace-covered bottom part brings a boho flair to the design. The second model (right) from Tadashi Shoji combines two trends in one. The sleeves with ruffles and the underskirt provide a romantic interpretation of the classic A-line wedding dress. Sparkling, futuristic-looking metal plates run across the entire bridal gown and set accents. The Carmen neckline also has another decisive advantage: it harmonizes with various necklaces as well as chokers made of lace, scarves, boleros and bridal veils.

The opulent ball gown

The opulent princess dress is figure-hugging down to the waist, while the underskirt is voluminous and flared wide. To ensure that the cut doesn't look boring, there are a few tricks that can help. Some designers rely on high-quality lace and decorate their creations with numerous sparkling Swarovski stones and pearls. Others are trying to redefine the ball gown. Asymmetrical gradations give the bridal robe a modern touch. As for the neckline, the heart shape is still very popular. The wide selection of materials: from organza, tulle, lace to taffeta, suits every style and guarantees that every bride can find something that suits her.

Asymmetrical neckline

Asymmetrical necklines take the minimalist wedding dress to a new level this season. Hardly any other cleavage looks more feminine. The fashion houses presented two cuts with which the neckline fits perfectly. A narrow,simple wedding dress, which flows downwards and flatters the figure, looks extremely elegant. Lightly draping fabrics such as chiffon and organza are perfect for the design. Earrings are worn with this, but other accessories should be avoided.

The second cut is for anyone who wants a princess dress. The classic ball gown is characterized by a wide flared skirt and a bodice embroidered with sequins. An extra wide and pompous skirt in combination with a tight satin top achieves the desired dramatic effect. All in all, a ball gown is more for pompous celebrations in restaurants, palaces and ballrooms.

Carrè-Ausschnitte

Square necklines caused a sensation on the catwalks this year and have successfully become one of the biggest trends of the winter season. Inspired by Renaissance gowns, they can successfully adorn ball gowns, slim dresses and even an A-line silhouette. In the cold season, they successfully replace the off-shoulder designs and create a deceptive look. The square necklines have another decisive advantage: they appear feminine and can subtly emphasize the cleavage. Above left: An all-lace dress is balanced by the formal square neckline.

Extra long sleeves

Like the square neckline and capes, extra-long sleeves are inspired by the past. In this case they have been adopted from the clothing of the nobility in the Middle Ages. Back then, the shape of the sleeves was a status symbol. The women wore their robes with long, wide-fitting sleeves, while the women of the lower classes wore dresses with tight sleeves. The contemporary version also focuses on opulence. The wedding dresses are made of light, transparent fabrics and richly embroidered with pearls and crystals. Detailed lace adds the finishing touch and transforms the bridal gown into a true work of art.

Cut Out Brautrobe

In recent years, cut-outs have become a real fashion statement. This allows the décolleté, back and most often the waist to be sensually showcased. At the same time, they subtly emphasize the hourglass figure and conjure up an elegant look. This year, square cut-outs are very popular: they make the wedding outfit look sophisticated and grown-up. Some designers fake the look with sheer fabrics and lace.

Two-piece suit with crop tops

Crop tops have been experiencing a revival for the past 5 years. In 2019, they also sneaked into the bridal fashion world. It's not about going to old age with your stomach bare and saying yes. Unlike the 90s, the tops are now worn with a high-waisted skirt. This means the bride doesn't show so much skin, but at the same time feels comfortable and can move freely. With itdas Crop-Topdoes not slip, it is made from a stiff material such as silk. The length of the top can vary greatly and be adjusted to your own preferences.

By the way, crop tops can be styled with almost any skirt. This year, voluminous, wide skirts are particularly trendy. Elaborately draped, decorated with gradations or feathers: even extravagant creations go well with the simple crop top. Brides who choose this should avoid jewelry and bridal veils and keep make-up to a minimum.

Bridal fashion 2019: Faux fur collar for the winter season

If the wedding is taking place in autumn or winter, the dress should keep you warm. A faux fur bolero can complete the outfit while keeping the bride warm. Some designers have gone a step further and decorated the wedding dress with a faux fur collar. The fairytale garments are almost exclusively expensive haute couture ball gowns with crystals. So if you want to try the look, you can have the wedding dress sewn.

Colorful embroidery

Not monochromatic: This year the bridal gowns are colorful and cheerful. Whether embroidered on organza or printed on chiffon: the motifs are usually inspired by nature. Flowers and plants give a simple cut an extra touch. If you are celebrating your wedding on an exotic island, you can also decorate the dress with coral and seaweed. Trendsetters like Chiara Ferragni even have their bridal gowns embroidered with their own motifs, such as the wedding date, the lyrics to their favorite song or drawings of the places that have special meaning for the couple. Of course, the dress should otherwise be kept as simple as possible. The experts recommend a slim cut and airy fabrics.

3D embroidery

This year it's all about the details. The designer duo Viktor&Rolf are leading the way and have set accents with 3D prints in their last collection. The flower appliqués feel particularly at home on organza, taffeta and silk and can decorate both the top and bottom parts. Just the thing for the modern bride celebrating her wedding in the big city.

Glamor from the 20s

Sparkling fabrics, ruffles and fringes, a 7/8 length and flowing skirts: 1920s chic is very trendy. The vintage glitter dress celebrates diva glam and looks girly and charming at the same time. Perfect for anyone who is celebrating their wedding in the summer and wants to end the evening dancing. The A-line promises maximum comfort and allows the bride to move freely. Sequins and crystals give the bridal robe the necessary luxury.

Die Cape Robe

Since Gwyneth Paltrow appeared on the red carpet in a white cape dress by designer Tom Ford, the garment has enjoyed great popularity in the fashion world. This year, numerous bridal fashion designers placed a cape around their models' shoulders. Capes are no longer a functional addition to outfits, but rather serve as an accessory. In this case, they replace the bridal veil and make a fashion statement.

But capes can also be short and successfully replace the bollero. If you want to add color accents, you can choose a cape in red or rosé. Paired with a champagne wedding dress, it makes a lovely wedding day outfit. Optionally, the cape can be made from the same fabric or lace as the dress. This means that the top fades discreetly into the background during the wedding ceremony and can then be taken off in the restaurant if desired. So the bride has a dress in two versions - formal and casual.

The bridal veil is traditionally one of the most popular and romantic accessories that the bride wears on her wedding day. It completes the bridal look and adds the finishing touches to the outfit. It in no way competes with the dress, but rather flatters it. It is important for the end result that it is selected in accordance with the overall concept and that the color coordinates with the dress. When it comes to design, the bridal veil is more versatile and extravagant than ever this year. The so-called bird cage design is not worn over the face, but rather like a hat. The traditional bridal veil Blusher, which has a length of up to 80cm, is decorated with fringes. The waltz veil, which reaches down to the feet, is richly embroidered with 3D flowers. Inspired by the royal family of England, it ends with a fascinator-like headpiece. The Spanish version - the mantilla - is also very popular with brides who like the boho look.

Over the years, bridal fashion has developed into one of the most important industries in the fashion world. This year too, renowned fashion houses dedicated entire collections just to wedding fashion. The modern wedding dress flatters the figure, is made from high-quality textiles and impresses with its extravagant cut. 3D applications, cut-outs, ruffles and fringes make it a fashion statement.
