The Hottest Gown Trends from the Bridal Runways

We're always dazzled by the gowns that hit the runways every April and October, but this season they were especially swoon-worthy!

If you are getting married soon, you may have a hard time deciding what to wear on your wedding day, but not because of a lack of options. From voluminous sparkling gowns at Lazaro and Mira Zwillinger to minimalist silhouettes at Justin Alexander and Romona Keveza–there is something for every bride in this season’s styles. 

After seeing hundreds of gowns of all shapes and sizes, here are the top five trends from the spring collections: 

 1. Showstopping Sparkle
From the subtle shine of pearl embellishments to the glamorous glow of glittered gowns, if you want your gown to sparkle on your big day you won't have to look far to find it (but you may need sunglasses once you do)!

3. Unique Sleeves 
80's Inspired looks may be back in style, but these are not your mom's poofy sleeves. Whether you want long, short, flutter, detachable or anything in between, there is no shortage of arm candy or coverage.
