Q What wedding dress trends will be popular in 2024?
A Caroline Crompton says: Here at Willow & Wilde Bridal, we have seen several dress trends beginning to emerge for 2024 weddings. Retro glamour, with a nod to vintage styles, is on the rise. These designs have been modernised with on-trend detailing and design features.

Another key trend is multiple bridal looks for the day. Couples are starting to expand on their wedding with two-or three-day events, which means a few different looks, including short evening styles and modern jumpsuits.

A revival of traditional fabrics such as taffeta, organza and duchess satin will be featured throughout the upcoming season. We think that colourful dresses will also be popular for brides-to-be who want to stand out and break the norm of a white wedding.

Q I want my wedding dress to stand out and look amazing. Do you have any ideas of how I can do this?
A Edyta Ziomek says: A bespoke hand-painted gown is sure to make you stand out on your big day. At Tropical Ever After, we design and create one of a kind, tailored, hand-painted wedding dresses for women who reach for their dreams and are not afraid to go beyond the usual standards.

If layers of tulle and laces seem inappropriate for your wedding ceremony, opt for something perfectly tailored to your figure. When choosing your dream dress, you can pick a ready-made creation that will be tailored to your measurements or create a bespoke design especially for you, fitted to your figure with personal character. When looking for your dress, opt for a style that will reflect your personality. We can also provide bespoke gowns for the bridesmaids, flowergirls and matching accessories for the groomsmen.

Q I'm looking for a dress that's fun and a bit unusual. Do you have any ideas of what I should look for?
A Sarah Betton says: We often get brides wanting something a bit different to the norm. A great way to achieve this is by looking for an alternative colour to the traditional ivory or white. Many designs are now available in a range of colours, from subtle blush pinks to daring blacks.

Considered a tea-length dress. These look fun and quirky, especially when teamed with unusual shoes. A pair of bright coloured heels can tie the whole look together.

A huge trend for 2022 is 3D florals, and we can't get enough of them! Whether it's a decorated train or the whole dress, these embellishments are a great way to ensure you stand out on your big day.
