Feathers
Feathers have long been a recurring bridal trend, resurfacing every few years. However, the 2024 bridal runways were adorned with an abundance of feathers!

Ravishing Bodices & Reinvented Corsets
Exquisite bodices and re-imagined corsets took center stage on the 2024 bridal runways, offering a fresh twist on a timeless trend. While corseted wedding dresses have been steadily gaining popularity in recent seasons, the emphasis shifted towards exposed corsetry, where intricate boning and stitching were prominently displayed in the bodices of gowns. This trend encompassed corsets featuring see-through lace inserts and statement bodices that deviated from traditional streamlined designs, adding a captivating allure to bridal couture.
