This strapless mini dress really caught our eye. We love the beautiful lace detail on the asymmetrical skirt paired with the clean bodice and scoop neckline.

This dreamy ball gown, titled Sheya, is all about balance. The grand bell sleeves, which are a detachable option, match the handmade floral lace detail of the full skirt. A romantic, deep v-neck draws you in and is very sexy-romantic.
The stunning gown belongs in a luxe garden setting, with romantic chandeliers and soft flickering candlelight during the outdoor reception.
Sculptural Ball Gowns
Ball gowns are one of the most popular and timeless silhouettes, yet this season we’re seeing a sculptural element added to the classic style. Whether it’s structural detail within the bodice or the use of clean, modern fabrics—it’s definitely something to take notice of.

First up, this stunning ivory ball gown is fresh off designer Rivini’s spring/summer 2024 bridal collection. The collection is all about accepting the imperfections within beauty. The gowns blur the lines between traditional and contemporary, which is exactly what we see with the gown above.
The ethereal Brielle ball gown takes a classic silhouette and gives it a modern yet romantic twist.

Designers Viktor & Rolf are known for their cutting-edge, fashion-forward designs, so we weren’t surprised to see their modern take on the classic ball gown silhouette. For their spring/summer Mariage collection, the designer’s signature play on sculptural designs fit our trend perfectly. Surreal floral-motif embroideries were also a focus, along with embellishments like dreamy bows and frosted pearls.
The gorgeous ball gown above boasts a frothy tulle skirt that we can’t stop thinking about. It’s a great juxtaposition from the asymmetrical bodice featuring a deep v-neckline. For a floral moment, flower bouquet-inspired embellishments trickle down from the shoulder of the wide straps. It’s a bold yet feminine move for this luxurious gown.
Colored Dresses
We love a daring color on a wedding dress, and this bold and unique trend will continue into 2024. From elegant pastels of blue and pink to dominating gold and black hues, the color play is here to stay.

The Fuego gown is bold, dramatic and fearless—just as the designer intended. The stunning mermaid silhouette boasts fierce passion through sumptuous French lace, Flamenco-inspired silk tulle and feathered ruffles, all in a show-stopping black color.
For an extra-sexy touch, an illusion panel on the corset back features a v-back frame with mini black buttons. We can’t stop thinking about this gown, and it’s sure to please a number of daring 2024 brides.
Dazzling Embellishments
Since we’re going big in 2024, it’s no surprise that flashy, attention-grabbing embellishments like sequins, sparkles and beading are key accents this season. Specifically, we’re noticing a lot of designs, that are truly more red-carpet glam than bridal, replicating the Jazz era and 1920’s flapper girls. See for yourself below.
