Top Five Bridal Fashion Trends of 2017
Trend 1- Deep Plunge Necklines
Modesty is not in for 2017. We’re seeing many designers debuting bridal looks with deep plunging necklines. It’s not quite Jennifer Lopez at the Grammies, but it’s not your mama’s wedding style. There may be some push-back from mom, but this trend is here to stay. The deep plunge is very elegant with designers like Naeem Kahn and Reem Acra at the forefront of this 2017 bridal trend.
