Bridal trends tend to be less variant than other fashion trends, as more often than not, brides want a dress that's timeless and classic. It's not often that you go to a wedding and the bride is wearing a black frothy dress or a jewel-encrusted jumpsuit, right? That being said, there are some key trends even the most classic of brides might be tempted by this season. We turned to Caroline Burstein, founder of Browns Bride, to discover the wedding dress trends she's most excited about right now and that she believes will have the biggest impact over the next 12 months.
Keep scrolling to see—and shop—the five biggest wedding dress trends for 2018.
