You have dreamed of this day since you were a little girl. You want to look like a fairy princess. And you should! And you will.    We have consulted with some experts in the bridal fashion field about current and upcoming trends. Of course, we are not encouraging you to be a slave to fashion. This is your day, your dream, your choice.    “Brides are looking for something different yet traditional, and that takes shape in a variety of ways,” says Jeanine Huggins, owner of Jeanine Marie Designs.    Janet Duncan of Bridal Mart agrees. Ms. Duncan says colors are being incorporated into bridal gowns. “Brides still want white or ivory, but with a color trim. Most popular trims are claret, navy, black, then pastels.”

Be kind to your bridesmaids! Not all figures and shapes may look good in that ‘perfect’ dress you have picked out for all of your bridesmaids. And will they ever wear it again?    A hot new trend, according to Janet Duncan of Bridal Mart, is top and bottom separates. The top half of the elegant and dazzling ensemble your bridesmaids wore at your wedding can then be paired with jeans for an awesome and so ‘in’ look in their after-the-wedding lives.
