2023 wedding dress trends, according to a wedding expert

If you’re a constant follower of “Say Yes to the Dress,” then you’re likely dreaming of being dressed up in white for your big day. Uniquely, the traditional dress is expected to see a revamp in 2023.

“Streamlined styles are taking a backseat to textural details (think: feathers, fringe, bows and 3-D appliqué) and bold silhouettes like ball gowns and cathedral-length trains are showing up on Bridal Fashion week runways and aisles alike,” Kay says.

“Colored and printed gowns are also on the rise with brides opting for a truly unique look.” Oh, and if you think the fashion statement ends at the wedding dress — think again.

“The accessories are also extra: embellished veils, wedding capes and bridal gloves are taking ensembles to a whole new level,” Kay adds.
