| {What trends do you think will dominate bridal this year?} As you all know, the holidays bring lots of engagements! With the holiday season coming to a close, we’ve had lots of newly engaged brides stop in The Bridal Path with fresh ideas! Each bride is unique and wants a different look for their big day, but we have seen an overarching theme of elegant simplicity with many brides. After all, who wasn’t inspired by Meghan Markle’s jaw-dropping, boat neck, simple gown? Having gone to market this past fall, it was clear that many of the top designers in the industry were similarly inspired! I think we will see this trend for a while, and I’m not sad about it! Some specific trends include clean lines, satin and other simple fabrics, and eye-catching accents such as big bows, bold lace, and intricate embellishments. |  |
{What about trends in bridesmaids and mother of the bride/groom dresses?}
One change we have noticed in bridesmaid’s dresses are fashion-forward styles that are accommodating to all shapes and sizes have become extremely popular. We love this shift to flattering necklines and fits because it is resulting in a bridal party that looks so chic!
We’re also seeing a modernization of Mother of the Bride/Groom styles. There’s a shift away from a traditional matronly look and towards a more classic, timeless vibe.
One thing we are most excited about is the expanding color options for bridesmaids gowns. More and more designers are offering more color options; it’s dream come true! Lastly, bridesmaid dresses have become such a fun way for the bride to express her own personal style. The variety of materials designers are now offering make this decision a more unique one than it has ever been. Whether she wants sequins, satin, crepe, or lace, she can find the right dress for her best girls.

{Are there are any specific pieces you're really excited about having in store?}
Such a hard question! Everyday we receive a UPS package, it’s like Christmas morning! One of our favorite lines at market this fall was the new season of Theia. We are especially excited to finally have those in the store! I am also excited to have more simple, satin dresses for good prices since those are so popular this season. We are also delighted to carry more size-inclusive samples so everyone can try lots of things on!
{What about trends in accessorizing specifically?}
Our favorite thing about accessories is the way a bride’s personality shines through them! As far as trends go, we are loving bridal CAPES! That’s right I said capes! They are beautiful because they give the dramatic effect of a veil and if you choose to take it off for the reception, you have a new look! We also love two-sided earrings and head pieces that coordinate with earrings. For our winter brides – wraps and pashminas give the most dreamy, wintery touch!

Do not stress! It is usually best to come into your appointment with an open mind anyway! We will try all different fits and styles so you can figure out what you want amongst it all! I always want my brides to feel like the most beautiful version of themselves. This is the dress you will become a WIFE in after all! It so common for brides to leave in something different than what they originally wanted so, it is more than okay to come in having no idea where to start! That’s what we’re here for!
