2022 Wedding Gown Trend
Necklines
1. Strapless
Strapless dresses have been around since the 1900s and are still popular among brides until today. This modern neckline can bring out the gentle yet defined collar of the bride.
2. V-neck
V-neck is another flattering design that can complement the bride’s figure and show off the bustline. This neckline generally gives off a magnificent vibe to the wedding gown and makes any bride stand out!

Gown Fabrics
1a. Chantilly Lace
The chantilly lace has been well-sought after since the 18th century for its delicate, defined patterns, and lavish details. It is an exquisite choice to have the chantilly lace adorned to your wedding gown if you would like to wear something that is dreamy and vintage.
1b. Embroidered Lace
The embroidered lace is woven delicately using a thread and needle, producing an intricate design filled with elaborated details. Due to the handmade nature of the product, these designs can be customised, giving your wedding gown a unique touch.
1c. Alencon Lace
The alencon lace is a needlepoint lace typically used to produce floral designs on a sheer or net background. It gives a romantic and dainty look on your wedding dress, making you look like a princess out of a disney movie!

3. Chiffon
Chiffon is a lightweight fabric that offers the bride mobility and cooling effect, ideal to wear in countries with warmer weather conditions like Singapore. The gown might seem less formal however it brings about the chic and fun personality trait of the bride. If this sounds like you, chiffon is definitely your go-to gown fabric.

Wedding Gown Silhouettes
1. Trumpet
A trumpet silhouette is the perfect dress for brides who want to flaunt their body curves. The design is body hugging at the waist before flaring out from below the hips, giving off a charming and elegant look.
2. A Line
Just like a spaghetti strap neckline, an A line silhouette gown is a universal design for all kinds of body types and necklines. The gown flares out from the waist, forming the shape of the letter A. If a body-hugging gown is not the one for you, perhaps this romantic-style dress would be a great alternative!
3. Mermaid
The mermaid silhouette might look similar to that of a trumpet’s, however there is a difference between the two. Unlike a trumpet gown which flares out from below the hip, a mermaid gown flares out from the knee like a mermaid tail. This silhouette accentuates well with the bride’s curves (from the bust to the hips), giving an alluring hourglass figure.
