This Was Undeniably 2017's Most Adored Wedding-Dress Trend!

It might seem a daunting task to find out the biggest wedding dress trend of 2017 (there were a lot of frocks to trawl through) but in the end it was actually really easy. That's because there has been one solid winner. I realised this when I was recently chatting to Bo & Luca founder and creative director Shannon Pittmann. When I asked the wedding dress designer what brides are wearing right now, she said one word: Sleeves. Dorris Wedding guest wears for winter wedding

While this brand is Australian, the UK market is big for them. Shannon revealed why brides are now turning to demure or modest silhouettes. "Women have become much more fashion conscious when it comes to wedding dresses. They [look] way more modern and sleeves have become a big factor this year, and will continue into 2018."

But I haven't just taken one designer's word for it. Earlier this year, after attending the Galia Lahav couture show, I spoke to designer Sharon Sever who told me that "Everybody wants sleeves and dramatic silhouettes," at the moment, citing that extra coverage is being requested by brides.

Adding more fuel to my theory, Spanish bridal designer Inmaculada Garcia told Hitched.co.uk that "2017 collections [took] a turn for the demure, with full coverage wedding gowns that read feminine and elegant all in one".
