Turn Your Aisle Into a Runway With the 6 Hottest Bridal Trends

After a few seasons of shockingly saturated colors on the bridal runway, designers are giving us a breath of fresh air with just a hint of hue. Blink and you'd miss the pale robin's egg blue or blush on Monique Lhuillier and Marchesa's runways — but why would you blink when dresses this beautiful are floating by?

Romantic brides will appreciated the seductively slung straps shown at Oscar de la Renta and Jenny Pakcham's shows. Even if you're not a romantic at heart, if you've got the décolletage, flaunt it!
