The 2011 New York Bridal Market has just come to a close and here are some the trends to expect to see in the year ahead for bridal dresses.

The most important thing to remember is to find a dress that suits you. Do not pick a dress based on what you think looks good in a magazine. Your wedding dress is unique to you and needs to represent you. There are a lot of dresses with 3-dimension with ruffles and textured material. Lace is a classic staple to a wedding dress and will never disappear from wedding dresses. Bling and jeweled dresses are going nowhere, they are here to stay. The natural waistline from a 1950s style silhouette dress is classic and will look great on everyone. Who doesn’t want to look like Grace Kelly or Audrey Hepburn on their wedding day? There will be some dresses influenced by Kate Middleton but not too many because sleeves constrict arm movement and it is hard to dance and move around with your arms tied down. If you do want to try to create the Kate Middleton look try wearing a Bolero, Shrug, or even a dress with detachable sleeves. If you want be daring you can even choose a dress in an unconventional color like black.
