Designers broke the mold of what defines the classic wedding dress for fall 2014. From dainty cap sleeves inspired by Kate Middleton’s lacy long-sleeved bridal number to unabashed color that’s not just limited to bridesmaids’ dresses, here are the top five wedding dress trends from the fall 2014 bridal runways.
1. Cap Sleeves
Cap sleeves made an eloquent debut down the runways of designers, like Oscar de la Renta (L) and Monique Lhuillier (R).
2. Full-On Color
Vera Wang stunned with her complete departure from the traditional white wedding dress (L), while Elizabeth Fillmore adopted a less shocking smoke gray color (R).
3. Rising Hemlines
For the modern bride who prefers a little more movement in her step, Nicole Miller’s strapless above-the-knee number (L) tested new lengths, while Monique Lhuillier (R) transformed a classic slip dress that would be perfect for a garden wedding.
4. Jackets and Overlays
Designers showcased accessorized jackets and overlays, like Reem Acra’s flowing feather-lined piece (L) and Temperley London’s ruched and belted overlay.
5. Beading
Intricate Gatsby-esque beading designs were spotted at Naeem Khan (L) and Carolina Herrera (R).
