Wedding Dress Trends for 2017

ETC boutique is looking forward to a market trip in about 10 days to get a preview of wedding and prom trends for 2017, but we couldn't resist peeking ahead by browsing online a little.
According to Brides magazine, among the wedding dress trends for 2017 are:

• Plunging necklines: Brides' Roberta Correia reported the 2017 look for brides will be much sexier, largely due to those deep-V styles seen in nearly every bridal dress line. She noted the designers are counting on brides to make a bold, skin-baring choice, with a result she described as "elegantly sexy."
• Bare shoulders: Along with the exposed decolletage, brides are being encouraged to show their shoulders with the off-shoulder look making a strong appearance, a trend that's moved slowly from the ready-to-wear runway.
• Toppers: Be it capelets, bomber jackets, boleros or ponchos, the topper also grabbed its share of attention from designers for 2017.
• Big bows: The oversized bow made its presence felt from many designers this year, be it a more traditional back bow or something to adorn the waist or sleeves, or even jewelry.
• Brides in color: The traditional white is receiving a challenge from designers this year who are taking off the Pantone colors of the year (Rose Quartz and Serenity) to adorn their brides in new hues. The rose-colored dress made several appearances on the runways along with shades of blue.
We'll share our own take on the 2017 bridal trends in a couple of weeks after our own trip to the bridal and prom market.
