Think structured mikado silk and voluminous satin that holds its shape, creating dramatic, artistic silhouettes. Less tulle, more tailored drama. Detachable accents are big as well - think capes, dramatic overskirts, and puff sleeves that can be removed for the reception. It’s a two-looks-in-one approach that our modern brides love.
Textural Dimension
Plain lace is taking a backseat to fabrics that offer depth and playful texture. This trend is perfect for Michigan's diverse venues, from rustic barns to elegant city ballrooms.

Appliqués that literally pop off the dress are everywhere. These aren’t just flat embroideries; they’re hand-stitched, lifelike petals, often in shades of ivory or even subtle pastels.
The Modern Minimalist
Don't worry, minimalist brides - your look isn't going anywhere, but it is getting a luxurious upgrade.

The fabric is the star here. Think bias-cut gowns in charmeuse or satin that drape and flow like water. It's sophisticated, effortless, and feels absolutely divine. Simple dresses are also being elevated by dramatic, precise necklines. Halters, square-necks, and high-collars are providing a sharp, modern contrast to the soft drape of the silk.
Pops of Color
While white and ivory remain bridal staples, designers are introducing subtle, romantic hints of color that feel fresh and unexpected.

Blossom
Think pale blush tones, champagne underlays, and multicolored floral blossoms that just bloom off the fabric. These accents offer a dreamy, ethereal quality that’s absolutely breathtaking for a classic white wedding dress.
