2009's Boldest, Most Beautiful Wedding Gown Trends

2009's Boldest
Most Beautiful Wedding Gown Trends

Finally! 2009's gowns bring brides some real choices, after several years of strapless uniformity. (Thank you, Vera Wang!) If you're the type of bride who wants a couture (or couture-inspired) gown to match the finer shades of your personality and ceremony style, 2009 is the assemblage with your name on it! Here are a few of the hottest trends going:

Crumb-Catcher Bodices.

This regal, old-world organisation twist came from that same lust for luxe that brought us Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, and its subsequent call explosion in the bridal world.

Greek Goddess Columns.

The ultimate look backward, the call takes us back to the lovely goddesses (and early supermodels) of Greece's Golden Age. With plenty of glorious examples to be seen from bridal magazines to the red carpet, this style's not going away soon. Happily, it lends itself to arm bling and the half up-half downbound call that's ease so alluring to brides. Also note: bridesmaids look awful in goddess gowns when the bride's act something more structured.

Asymmetrical / One-Shouldered Styles.

These gowns are sexy attention-getters. Another hot commodity on the red carpet, the asymmetrical top adds up to an exciting feat from same-old strapless, while exuding plenty of come-hither vibes.

Subued Color Plays.

Color's no longer the domain of a bold -- or even distracting -- burst of contrast in the train or cuffed bodice of an otherwise stark-white gown. Instead, next year's colouration inspiration flows from Vera Wang's gowns in hearty toasts and charcoals, St. Pucchi's fabulous champagne and platinum combos, or gowns that ripple with multicolored gardens of embroidery (Claire Pettibone).

The Mini.

No longer the oddball in an otherwise full-length portfolio, minis have become earnest business, with layers and ruches and ruffles aplenty. Increasing number of brides find them a magnificent pick for tent weddings on the shore or in the vineyard. And let's not forget those brides who want a gorgeous but mobile second gown to intend downbound and boogie the night away.
