The 8 Spring 2020 Wedding Dress Trends You Need to Know

Romance was definitely in the air at Bridal Fashion Week, and we have the wedding dress trends to prove it. While you were busy wedding planning, we spent the week swooning over the latest creations bridal designers have to offer, and 2020 is shaping up to be a supremely fashionable year to be a bride.

We love spotting the latest wedding dress trends on the runway because we know they usually stick around for a few seasons. Bridal trends have a way of becoming classics—just think of off-the-shoulder, deep v-neck, minidresses, blush gowns, and jumpsuits—and we love seeing where dress designers take something that feels unexpected and apply it to the bridal wardrobe.

While we see some of our favorite silhouettes over and over again, there's always new offerings on the runway and the 2020 season had no shortage. Suiting got upgrades with trains, bridal blazers, and even short suits, while skirts got the upgrade treatment in the form of feathered detailing, detached overskirts, and the return of the high-low hemline. For lovers of a serious dose of romance, there were no shortages of allover crochet lace gowns that can go boho or sophisticated romantic. Those looking for glam should be satisfied with the bevy of satin ball gowns that echoed an Old Hollywood era sensibility.

If you loved last season's take on a puffy sleeve, designers doubled down on the look with exaggerated poet sleeves that channeled the Renaissance era.
