A new year will soon be upon us and with that new year we will expect to see some changes in the wedding world. Recently at New York’s fashion week, designers unleashed their plans for 2010 wedding dresses. With lots of drama and romantic flair, 2010 wedding dresses will not disappoint brides to be.
Weddings in general, don’t see many drastic changes from year to year. However, with every passing season, we herald in small changes that make each wedding season unique. What will make its mark as an undeniable characteristic of a 2010 wedding dress? Here are a few examples that tore up the runways in New York this fall:
- Crystal – crystal beading has returned to adorn the plain skirts and bodices of the last few seasons making this years dresses a little more ornate and interesting to look at.
- Gathering or Folding – again a reversal from the plain skirts we’ve grown accustomed to, designers have added gathering, folding or pleating to this year’s dresses giving the dress itself structure, texture and interest.

- Ruffles – this old favourite has returned with a vengeance this year adorning hemlines, bodices, skirts, and even veils!

- Taffeta and Satin on full ball gowns - full heavy fabrics return to replace the lighter chiffon and organza fabrics we’ve been seeing so much of lately, although the lighter fabrics will remain popular in order to have the oh so hot ruffling on many dresses. Keep a look out for taffeta and statin in dresses in a full ball gown style. This is an extremely dramatic and very hot look for 2010!

- Asymmetry – nothing new here, since asymmetrical dresses and one shoulder styles in particular have been hot for one season already; however, designers this year, have taken the trend one step further by adding to all aspects of the dress, including the skirt which, in many cases, is made of intentionally torn fabric that is reorganized to create the look of the dress.
