The Spring 2018 wedding dress trends have arrived and O buoy! are they stunningly gorgeous. The international bridal designers revealed the latest wedding dress trends for Spring 2018 and we can’t get over the runway looks of these beautiful designs. From opulent floral embroidery to edgy wedding dress jackets – this season has a lot to look forward to and experience in the world of wedding dresses. With no shortage of inspiring collections, there were few of the biggest trends that stood out, as expressed in this blog.

If you are getting married this spring and looking for the best collection in the bridal stores in Melbourne, there is a lot to choose between princess inspired capes, detachable sleeves, black accents, casual sporty looks, tea-length frocks and more. We are loving these trends for 2018!

PRINCESS CAPES, TOPPERS, AND CAPELETS: With the versatility to help you go from one look to the other with ease, the wedding dresses with such pieces can turn your strapless dress into a high neckline wedding dress. The brides can skip the veil or the train for these too!

EDGY WEDDING JACKETS: This trend is for the brides who are looking for a cool accessory to wear on her big day. Jackets covered in metallic studs and modern graphics were a hit this season to give the brides that rocker-chic vibe – easily transforming you from the wedding ceremony to the reception.

DETACHED SLEEVES: As an evolution of the off-shoulder trend, the detached sleeves were spotted this season with a lot of oomph! From slinky, bouffant to lacy and dramatic puffed sleeves – there was a lot more to strapless wedding dresses and for you to be inspired from.

MID-CALF LENGTH WEDDING DRESSES: Making a come back straight from the 1950s, following Audrey Hepburn’s wardrobe. These dresses were all over the runway, reinventing the way a bride should feel. With a perfect blend of modern comfort with a vintage classic look – the mid-calf length wedding dresses are a show stunner.

BLACK ACCENTS: Black turned out to be the new white with sophisticated black bows and over-the-top black ostrich feathers on the gowns. This trend is perfect for the bride who wants to add an intense style statement with an edge on the wedding day.

SHADES OF VARIOUS COLOURS: From blue to shades of pink and nude, the wedding dresses gave a fresh twist to the traditional white.

SHORTER THE BETTER: These wedding dresses exposed legs in their sexiest self. From jumpsuits to tea-length, the designers played around with lengths to create fun and modern elegance for brides who don’t mind showing off skin on their wedding day.

Apart from the above mentioned, there were a lot of variations seen with sporty looks, dreamcatcher vibes, petticoat skirts, simple silhouettes, cascading ruffles, sheer corsets, pearl embellishments, bridal gloves, allover beading, and statement bows.

It was my first bridal gown consultation and I was very nervous, thinking it would be a very stressful process and I wouldn’t be able to find anything that suited me. It turned out to be a delight. Lauren and the seamstress were extremely helpful and pleasant. Lauren in particular is an expert in bridal gowns and she gave me a lot of great advice, and she answered any questions I had thoroughly. They made it a super fun and exciting experience not only for me but also for my friends who accompanied me. I would strongly recommend Always & Forever Bridal.

Marisa was an absolute pleasure to deal with, she showed me her complete attention from our first interaction, understood my vision and helped me find my dream dress. The experience felt comfortable and easy from the start, she was patient, concise and non pressuring throughout my consult and showed a genuine passion for her work. The boutique had an impeccable variety of dresses on offer and completely exceeded my expectations. Thank you to Marisa and the other ladies for delivering such a beautiful experience and for helping me to find my dream gown!!

After going to another bridal boutique I felt deflated and feeling like I’ll never find a dress because I wasn’t a size 8. The person at this boutique was trying to pressure me into buying a dress that did not flatter me in any way and told me that the dresses I liked wouldn’t look good on someone my size, I had a baby 3 months ago and still getting used to my new body so my confidence was shattered. This was until I met Cecelia. She made me feel more confident. She picked me up off the ground (figuratively) and made me feel like I could be a beautiful bride. I went in with minimal direction from me and even with that she found me THE dress and most importantly made me feel beautiful. I can not thank her enough for her help and making me feel like a human and not a sale.

Thank you for a great experience. I didn’t feel rushed. My consultant made me feel very comfortable. I had put on weight and trying on wedding dresses has not been enjoyable experience but my consultant was very helpful and understanding and I had fun trying on the dresses with her.

Thank you Always and Forever Bridal in helping me to find my perfect gown!!!

Firstly, all of the staff at your store are absolutely amazing and go out of there way to make you feel welcome. My consultant was CC and she truly went above and beyond to help make shopping for my wedding dress a special experience. CC was supportive, kind and had a great sense of humor which made the whole dress shopping experience relaxing and fun. CC listened to what I had to say and helped to translate my wedding vision into a dress (even taking the time to construct a mock bouquet in my wedding colours!). I am a larger girl and CC took so much care to help me look beautiful in every gown I tried on, putting in the effort to ensure the fit of each dress was “just right” (having been to three other store before Always and Forever, I know that not all consultants or stores do this). CC took the time to make me (and my family) feel special and I cant express how my grateful I am for the help she has given me.

Secondly, I was very impressed by the variety of gowns the store stocks. I loved that all the dresses were layed out by silhouette, it helped to make it easy to find the style you were looking for.

All in all, I would rate and recommend Always and Forever Bridal – amazing from start to finish!

Tamara Aguirre was such a delight.
She was very patient and attentive. I am a returned customer I purchased my first dress in March and decided to purchase the second dress as I will be having two receptions.
I am obsessed with the second dress I purchased today. Thanks to Tamara, she listened to what I wanted in a dress. She is a great value to your business. I cannot wait to wear this gown in November.
