Since 2009 is almost over, and most future brides are already looking forward toward their planning in 2010. So what will 2010 bring for wedding fashion? I think that 2010 will be a year that changes things up a little for wedding fashions. I’m seeing some different necklines lately, the strapless gown has been the thing for several years now. I think this year we’re seeing some different necklines, including one shoulder gowns, and v-necks (my favorite). I think we’ll also see more short wedding gowns.

Red bows, inserts or trim can also add a splash of color to your dress. Or if you want to be a little more dramatic, go for a red train, or underskirt.
