Jan 29, 2023

Less is More

  

Less is more is a popular trend for bridal wear in 2023. This trend is all about minimalism, simplicity, and elegance. It's characterized by clean lines, minimal embellishments, and a focus on you! We are seeing this specifically in classic, timeless silhouettes that are sleek and uncluttered, with a focus on simplicity rather than excess. This trend is perfect for brides who want a modern, sophisticated look on their special day. The less is more trend also extends into simple and clean accessories, such as a simple pair of earrings, or even no jewelry at all, letting the bride's natural beauty shine through. 

 

Sheer Fabrics & Transparent fabrics

 

Sheer and transparent fabrics are also making a big comeback in 2023. Look for dresses that feature sheer layers, tulle, and lace to add a touch of romance and elegance to the overall look.

The use of transparent fabric allows for peek-a-boo styles to be more sweet and subdued.

 

Capes

 

 

Capes are another trend that is becoming increasingly popular in 2023. They add a touch of drama and glamour to the overall look and can be found in a variety of styles, from sheer capes to intricately beaded designs.

 

Off the shoulder and off the shoulder with sleeves

 

 

With a rise in the popularity of boho-sheek designs, we are predicting that off-the-shoulder styles will be all the rage in 2023. This style adds a touch of elegance and femininity to the overall look and can be found in a variety of styles, from one-shoulder to cold-shoulder.

With Boho Styles, many brides opt for a detachable boho sleeve. Detachable sleeves are Blu Rayne’s favorite way of adding drama and flair while maximizing comfort. 

 

Mock Necks

 

 

A new trend for 2023 is the mock neck. This style features a higher neckline that sits directly above the collarbone. This type of regal neckline has made a comeback. In a more contemporary twist, mock necks are being paired with a variety of dresses from traditional ballgowns to more casual after-party dresses. This type of neckline works to accentuate the shoulders providing a sexy, but classic look.

 

Color

 

Implementing color into wedding looks is becoming increasingly popular for wedding dresses in 2023. From multicolor botanical prints to infusing color into embellishments, we'll see a lot of unique ways to incorporate color into wedding dresses. Specifically, we are seeing a rise in black bridal gowns.

 

Oversized and 3D Florals

 

 

Floral prints are always popular for wedding dresses, but in 2023 we're seeing a trend toward oversized and 3D florals. These prints add a touch of romance and femininity to the overall look.

 

Second Looks!

 

A trend we here at Blu Rayne are obsessed with is the second look! Couples are now opting for a second look, where the bride changes into a different dress for the reception. This trend allows brides to show off their personal style whether it is a fun and flirty shorter dress, jumpsuit, or a tighter-fitted dress for the reception.

 

Mini Bow Details

 

 

Mini bows are a fun and playful detail that is becoming increasingly popular in 2023. They add a touch of whimsy to the overall look and can be found on everything from the waistline to the sleeves.
