unique-wedding-invitationsMany bridal fashion highlights seen on 2012 runways have become mainstream trends for gowns in 2013. Demand for certain features is evidenced by availability in budget-friendly brands, as seen in this clip featured on The Today Show. Guest and site editor of the popular wedding website theknot.com, Anja Winikka, talks about how to get the look of these 5 hot bridal fashion trends on an average–or even tight–budget:

Bridal Gown Trends

  1. Overlays, or the layering of sheer fabrics like lace, tulle, and organza, lends a romantic look.
  2. Peplums, a single layer of fabric at the hips or waist, add structure.
  3. Ruffles of all sizes are everywhere, seen on every part of a gown, and bring a playful quality.
  4. Bling in the form of sequins, beading and jewels adds sparkle, and a little goes a long way.
  5. Corsets can be both downright sexy or subtle and romantic.

Bridesmaids Dress Trends

  1. Shorter dresses are gaining in popularity, especially in cuts that fall above the knee.
  2. Prints and patterns are a refreshing alternative to solid colors.
  3. One shouldered necklines make a unique statement and flatter most bust sizes.
  4. Gray, ever coined “the new black,” comes in many shades.

Some of these same trends are also reflected in today’s unique wedding invitations.
