Ever since the epic wedding of Princess Kate & Prince William, brides have been inquiring as to the trend changes that we've been seeing in wedding gowns. While a strapless gown looks great on any bride, we're seeing more and more styles come out that have straps, whether it be a one-shoulder strap, beaded spaghetti straps, sleeves, jackets, or cap sleeves.
Essense of Australia just sent the store some beautiful gowns that I'm going to use as examples. The first is one of my personal favorites, Essense of Australia D1210:
The bodice of the dress is beautifully beaded with small floral appliques throughout. What I love about the gown is the sheer straps- they're beautiful and delicate, but still substantial. The gown can also be altered to be strapless if requested. This dress is perfect for a girl who isn't very busty due to the shallow bust-linen and deeper v-neck, and the cummerbund waistline is perfect to show off the smallest part of your silhouette. Additionally, keeping things modern, the gown has pockets!
The next gown is Essense of Australia D1245:
The beauty of this gown is that it's the perfect fitted gown for a girl of any size- whether you are a 2 or a 20, the way the gown is rouched will be gorgeous on your figure. The sleeves are just an added bonus- because the detail work goes below the bust-line and wraps around the shoulder, it highlights the bust, again, great for girls who aren't very busty, or for girls who are busty and want a gown that has straps without a deep "V" to over-accentuate their cleavage.
Maggie Sottero's "Bernadette" offers a beautiful alternative with lace cap sleeves, a higher neckline, and a gorgeous cut-out in the back:
A lot of brides lately are looking for a more "fun" look. Pronovias' "Alison" is a great way to mix classic and fun with it's flirty one-shoulder ruffle:
Alison has beautiful clean lines, and is even more beautiful with an accenting beaded sash of your choosing. We also have two other gowns in the store that mimic this ruffled one-shoulder look. If you don't like the ruffled look, flowers are also very "in" right now, and Val Stefani has created this beautiful gown (D79793) for an alternative:
Made out of a beautiful silk, this gown boasts a removable floral strap that complements the floral accents at the skirt.
There are a ton of brides lately that are looking for a short gown, and Moonlight has the perfect one with straps- with a lace bodice and a bow at the waist, the gown is full with pockets. The most crucial part is finding the right pair of shoes!
There are much more where those came from... we've made an effort to stock the store with beautiful alternatives for those brides that don't want a strapless gown, and new gowns from our Fall 2011 collections are coming in daily. I'm excited to continue to share them with you via the blog and Facebook- be on the lookout!

Bernadette is made with gorgeous beaded lace, with beaded embellishment under the bust. This gown is great for shorter girls- the lines of the sleeves and the placement of the embellishment will elongate your body.
