Effect I do not see

In the 2022 wedding dresses, sensuality is played on the bodices, more and more often made fanciful by nude effects and tattoos , which let the skin glimpse through lace and embroidery that adhere like a tattoo. Among the main brands, Nicole Spose and Aire Barcelona apply these sensual transparencies in small doses, without falling back into vulgarity. Strategically placed, the lace embellishes the figure and the dress.

Back protagonist of plunging necklines

Among the trends in bridal bodices, the back becomes the protagonist of deep and sensual necklines , skilfully highlighted and shaded by the edging of light and refined lace. The straps continue on the back and end at the bottom with V, rounded or square necklines. The result is a romantic, refined and chic look , to be combined with a collected hairstyle that enhances the back.

Bright details

The bodices of the 2022collections combine transparency with plays of light. Beads, points of light and stones set in focal points of the dress, embellish the look of the 2022 bride. Precisely positioned luminous inserts emphasize well-defined points of the dress, such as straps and necklines, emphasized by jewel-effect decorations , which in the case of the bare backs can cascade with great scenic effect.

Bohemian or mermaid style?

As anticipated, what distinguishes this new princess style from traditional dresses is the skirt, which loses volume while gaining sophistication. For those who want an ethereal and light look, the perfect dress will have a bohemian skirt, soft, slippery and with few and light decorations, which will leave the transparency and details of the bodice as protagonists. If, on the other hand, you are dreaming of a seductive style , go ahead for dresses with tight-fitting and wraparound skirts, mermaid or semi-mermaid, in this case with the possibility of decorations and laces also on the skirt.

The lingerie to wear

The choice of bridal underwear is important to support and shape the body, but it becomes even strategic when wearing a dress with transparencies and deep necklines. The underwear must in fact enhance the silhouette, while remaining hidden and discreet. When the necklines on the back are deep, the choice can fall on self-adhesive cups, but sometimes the dresses are already equipped with internal supports for the breast. As for the color, although white is the must-have color for the bride, under dresses with transparencies the powder or flesh color is more appropriate .

Boho-chic wedding dresses: romance and elegance for the 2022 bride

If until a few years ago wedding dresses made of volumes and excesses reigned supreme, today more modern trends have established themselves, which mix the most essential vintage and green styles , but which are also enriched with bohemian and hippy elements .

Organza is also the protagonist for the 2022 bride, light and impalpable, enriched by the combination with floral designs and embroideries, sometimes fairytale.

New concepts of volumes and necklines

After many years of protagonism of the strapless sweetheart bodice, the bridal décolleté is emphasized with deep and thin necklinesfinished in lace, elegant and never vulgar. The straps become the ideal continuation of the dress, often giving rise to deep necklines also on the back .

Boho wedding dresses are based on a new concept of volume : no more clean and defined volumes, but soft games that give movement thanks to the ruffles and light fabrics. Among the 2022 boho bridal collections there is no shortage of revisited mermaid dresses, and bold slits.

 Enhancing femininity with elegance

The train of the wedding dress: pros and cons

You already have in mind what type of wedding dress you will wear on your wedding day but a doubt still assails you: better with a train or without?

Since childhood we have always imagined wearing, in the future, the princely dress of our dreams, with a long train for a truly breathtaking scenographic look . Having to deal with reality, however, it soon becomes clear that a dress with a train could be a hindrance or it could not match one's shape and the style chosen for the wedding. How to understand if the train of the wedding dress is suitable for your wedding outfit or if it turns out to be only a negligible detail? We have compiled some tips for you!

Why choose the train

The main reason for choosing to wear a wedding dress with a train is undoubtedly the beauty and the poetic and romantic allure that this element brings with it. 

If you want to wear a dress that makes you feel like a fairytale princess and the undisputed star of your wedding, you absolutely cannot give it up. The train, in fact, has no specific function but is inserted into the wedding dress solely for aesthetic and stylistic purposes. It goes perfectly with any style , from the most traditional and rich in detail to the most modern and essential, and allows you to create unique and sumptuous photographs . Yes to the train, therefore, if your wedding will be pervaded byromantic atmospheres declined in a classic castle or in a charming old villa with gardens and frescoed walls. 

How to wear it in the best way? 

If the choice of the train is perfectly in line with your tastes and the style of the wedding, you need to think about the practical side . 

Choose a length suitable for your height : for example, if you are not very tall and you will not wear high heels, do not choose an excessively long train that could therefore give the perception of crushing the figure. Furthermore, based on the importance of the train you will wear, you will have to provide one or more bridesmaids who will accompany you during your arrival at the altar and who will help you manage it during the ceremony and the celebrations.

Why not wear it

The train certainly has a great aesthetic appeal but from a practical point of view it represents an important obstacle to comfort . The greater the length of the train, the more impediments you will encounter in your movements ; and don't forget that it carries with it a weight , greater depending on the length, that you are not normally used to carrying. In addition, you will often have to ask bridesmaids or pageboys for help to manage this cumbersome element not only when arriving at the altar but also in the case of stairs or moving in tight and intricate places.

Have you chosen to celebrate your wedding outdoors, perhaps in the countryside? 

In this case, a long train will certainly get in your way: it could get caught on small twigs or bushes, and it could get damaged by crawling on the ground. 

After the ceremony and the wedding reception, are you looking forward to go wild and dance with your husband and your friends? 

Remember that with the train you will not have much freedom of movement , you could trip or trip those around you, and it is not pleasant to have to give up this fun.

After analyzing the pros and cons, you just have to make your decision based on what makes you feel most comfortable, which reflects your personality and the style chosen for the wedding, and which will allow you to feel free to be yourself and to spend your most special day serenely.

One last piece of advice. 

If you want to wear the train, make an entrance in style and scenographic photographs, but do not want to give up comfort, choose a dress with an over-skirt and a removable train : you will get a refined and iridescent look and it will be like wearing two different dresses to yours marriage!
