Wedding dress forecast.

Looks like we are finally losing our love affair with sleeveless dresses. How many of you have been to a wedding where the bride wore a dress that was, shall we say, overflowing.

So here you go ladies, direct from The Knot, a forecast for 2010.


Trend 1: '50s Flair
Bridal designers must be as obsessed with Mad Men as we are: There were enough high necklines, tulle skirts, and tea-length styles on the runway to make even Don Draper swoon!
Trend 2: Bits of Black
Not just for the goth bride anymore, this dark hue showed up in all kinds of wedding dress details, from dainty bows and sashes to bolder, allover embellishments.
Trend 3: The Bold Shoulder
Thanks to First Lady Michelle Obama, it seems the one-shoulder style has really taken off. But this season, unlike in years past, the over-the-top details are what really make these asymmetrical necklines stand out.
Trend 4: Bows
From droopy satin styles to more structural ones, these girly details are the hottest knots to hit the bridal fashion runways.
Trend 5: Couture Cover-ups
You want to wear a strapless gown, but don't want to feel overly bare? You're in luck. This season, you can take your pick from floor-length lace coats, airy tulle boleros, feathered capelets, and more.
Trend 6: Garden Glamour
This year, designers were big on blooms of all different sizes, from simple, cherry-blossom details to oversized, eye-catching rosettes.
Trend 7: Illusion Necklines
It's clear which neckline reigned supreme this season -- be it bateau, V-neck, or even one-shoulder, sheer straps mean subtle, sexy coverage.
Trend 8: Metallic Touches
Want to shine on your walk down the aisle? Consider one of the hot, new styles glittering in gold and silver details.
Trend 9: Raw Edges
From the sound of it, you may think this trend might leave a wedding dress looking unfinished, but these rough, just-cut hemlines and details make for a completely unique bridal look.
Trend 10: Pretty Pleats
Accordion to us (couldn't resist), this playful detail adds the perfect amount of texture to embellished and simple wedding gowns alike.
