1. Sheer overlays
Sheer fabrics are light and airy, making them the perfect reflection of the spring season. This season's bridal runways featured gowns with sheer overlays, giving the dress some shape and silhouette.

2. Soft peplum skirts
Wedding gowns that feature peplum skirts accentuate the waist, and give the illusion of an hourglass figure. Brides magazine says that the secret to nailing this trend is in “finding the right proportion, be it oversize and asymmetrical, sleek and simple, or cropped and airy.”

3. Lace tattoos
Designers are making a new trend in lace wedding gowns by crafting lace tattoos, strategically placed on the sleeves, back, or torso to look like the brides’ second skin.

4. Convertible dresses
Convertible wedding gowns are fun and functional. They can be worn as a two-in-one dress for the wedding ceremony and reception. "This dress is perfect for a bride who doesn't plan on leaving the dance floor but also doesn't want to bother with a time-consuming costume change," notes this Huff Post Weddings article.

5. Sleeves
Taking inspiration from the wedding dress of Kate Middleton, wedding gowns with sleeves look sophisticated and royal. This type of style is making a comeback because it looks delicate, playful, ethereal, glamorous, and romantic.
