Wedding Fashion: 5 Trends for Fall 2011 Wedding Fashion

1. Daring Color: Charcoal, blush and robin’s egg blue were just some of the colors sighted at this season’s shows. While venturing from white or ivory isn’t for every bride, the boldness of the greys, soft pinks and blues made a splash with editors and wedding stylists alike.

2. Flirty, Feminine Details: Romance was in the air and definitely on the minds of designers when creating looks for fall 2011. Flirty details such as oversize bows, ruffles and lace, and 3-D floral embellishments were big trends on the runway.

3. Bejeweled Belts: Colored sashes were once all the rage—this year, it’s all about the bejeweled belt. We spotted lots of these beaded accessories on dresses. The intricate crystal detailing adds a bit of sparkle to an otherwise simple gown.
