2010 brides are following the trends of 2009, but with more feminine details.
Expect to see pops of black on the gown – like this Vera Wang. Actually, many dresses in Vera Wang’s 2010 collection had a bit of black, typically as a sash or gloves.
The most popular 2010 wedding dress embellishments include:
- floral appliques or a floral belt
- feather trim
- a single large bow
- metallic details
- asymmetrical neckline
Anything goes in 2010, with the exception of the basic strapless. A mix of details, folds or layers make dresses seem more artistic and anything but boring.
Brides will be wearing dresses that range from the traditional (floor length, with or without a train) to the mini-dress. Made popular in the last 3 years, short and mini wedding dresses are going to continue to be seen in 2010 – anything from retro-style dresses to super-sleek. If you choose a short or mini dress, make certain to invest in show-stopper shoes.
For bridesmaids and wedding accent colors, pink is super-popular in 2010, in hues ranging from blush to bubblegum, from dusty rose to fuchsia. Bridesmaids can also be seen in lavender, green and blue – popular colors from 2009.
Another top color for 2010 is orange – but brides beware. Orange looks good with a select few skintones, and can make the bride and her maids look a bit ill if the color is wrong.

Your Last Maiden Monogram

As you walk down the aisle, ready to embrace your new groom and your new name, sometimes a touch of who you are, and where you came from, can be that nostalgic touch that makes a difference.
I ordered one of these custom monograms, not only for me, but as something that my future children could maybe use on their big day. I don’t know what it is about it – that something blue that also is a bridge from who you are, to who you’re becoming – but it made me a little misty-eyed just thinking about it.
It’s strange, my monogram is one of my accessories that I just couldn’t do without.
