NEW GENERATION FASHION TRENT

Bridal Seeks Destinations
Modern bridal gowns cater to resort destination weddings.
As lovers combine the special day with travel aspirations, brides seek out wedding dresses perfect for Hawaii, Mexico, and Caribbean destinations. Easy styles to flatter the fit-conscious bride are making a big splash.
Inspired by Hollywood starlets with personal trainers and full-service spa services, fashion-conscious brides are turning to wedding dresses that celebrate gym dedication while highlighting the bust for feminine appeal.

The Grecian influence is obvious; fashion has embraced the healthy look and bridal gowns are showing it off. Jeweled straps and gathered waists accentuate the athletic and confident style. Halters, one shoulder layered gowns are full length with flyaway overlays upping the drama. Favorite colors are ivory, shimmery champagne leaf, and crystalline. 2009 destination brides are rediscovering the worldly goddess within.
