This year’s weddings call for both classic and trendy modern styles. Typically, most would-be brides go for the classic elegant styles particularly when it comes to their wedding gowns. Since the bride is always the center of attention, it is important that her gown fits her well in most aspects because it is a representation of her style and taste.

For the year 2010, the trend in wedding gowns is somewhat a revival of the past but a bit edgy to fit the lifestyles and tastes of the modern woman. Going for signature or branded wedding gown isn’t always necessary because local designers know the evolving trend. It’s usually up to the bride to choose the design she wants as long as the dress will bring out the best in her.

Here are 2010’s top 5 hottest wedding gown trends in no particular order:

(1) Traditional style wedding gowns never falter

Traditional style gowns are still in simply because of their elegance. Some women go for this type of wedding gown style especially when they want that ball feel. The main difference though is in the neckline which is lower nowadays compared to yesteryears where fully-covered bosoms are a must particularly when it is a church wedding. And of course, the color is always the traditional white for that clean, classic look.

(2) Sleek figure-hugging gowns for the slim bride

This type of wedding gown is one of current favorites. This trend will probably stay for long since women nowadays are trying to get fit and slim to look their best. If you want this style, make sure that the dress will perfectly fit you to achieve the ideal silhouette.

(3) 50’s style Hollywood glamour

Nothing is too vintage when talking about 50’s style wedding gowns. These are usually floor-length and belted at the waistline. Some of these gowns are knee-length at the hem and have sheer overlay which emphasizes the hem and legs.

(4) Single-shoulder gowns for asymmetry

Many brides have opted for single-shouldered gowns instead of the strapless type since this has been a fad nowadays for most dresses and gowns alike. While it is not an exclusive design for destination weddings, some brides who wore them have had their vows on the beach or at a resort. So if you wish to wear a single-shoulder gown on your wedding, it’s best to tone your neck and shoulders to show them off during your wedding.

(5) Tea-length wedding gowns for a more modernized feel

Some brides are opting for tea-length wedding dresses particularly if they do not intend a traditional wedding. Although there are no rules when it comes to wedding attire for a church ceremony, as long as it’s decent and proper, the bride has the freedom to wear this type of gown if she wants to.

Modern designers especially the younger generations recognize this style in this year’s trend. There’s a touch of class and practicality in it, as well as modern chic.

If you find it hard to decide on what type of gown to wear on your wedding day, it’s best to have a few options that can fit in your budget and overall wedding theme [if any]. Browse through the net or go to your local designer for suggestions.
