Attention, Brides! The 7 Biggest Wedding Dress Trends For Fall 2015

A good 99.9 percent of most wedding dress silhouettes are strapless, and the rest? A healthy mix of cap sleeves or some variation on lace-covered arms. For Fall 2015, however, a very simple yet very practical option is getting much more runway time at Christos and Naeem Khan: the spaghetti strap. Barely there but fully supportive, it's a great way to have the benefit of a strap without it taking away from the rest of the dress.

If you thought the bridal industry was safe from the crop top trend, then be prepared for a very surprising Fall wedding season. Midriff-baring two-piece dresses added some heat to the runway at Reem Acra, while more covered-up separates at Monique Lhuillier seemed primed for cold-weather affairs.

The wedding aisle isn't that different from an A-list red carpet, so we aren't surprised when bridal designers borrow trends from their Hollywood-ready collections. The long slit is one such technique not often seen in demure bridal gowns but is adding sexiness to the lineups of Badgley Mischka and Houghton.

Tulle and ruffles are nothing new to gorgeous, immaculately designed bridal gowns, but this season, the key embellishment is one most often seen not on a wedding dress but a wedding cake. Cascading tiers, whether perfectly spaced at Marchesa or asymmetrically draped at Badgley Mischka, these layers add some serious volume.

Want to really get a double-take with your wedding dress? Then opt for a gown that plays tricks on the eyes, as the ones from Amsale and Kenneth Pool do with their subtle illusion detailing along the arms and necklines. Consider it a more conservative way to show some serious skin.

Last season, shorter hemlines called for brides to up their calf exercises. This season, a sculpted back should be the focus of every bridal bootcamp gym class. Temperley London focused on backsides that deserved just as much attention as the front, and plenty of other designers kept backs completely bare.

One of the most expected trends for the Fall season is long sleeves, but, often, this means airy lace or sheer tulle versions so that the overall look still feels light. Well, this time around, for labels like Dennis Basso and Theia, it's all about full arm coverage with sleeves made from the same material as the bodice or with lacework that adds more texture and depth, not less.
