Trend Alert: Off-The Shoulder Wedding Dresses

Strapless wedding dresses have been a staple for many years, but a number of new trends are starting to emerge. Off-the-shoulder dresses are becoming increasingly popular, that to their flattering necklines and classic appeal.

One example of this can be seen in the custom Vera Wang gown worn by Anne Hathaway in the film Bride Wars. In the movie, the dress is supposed to be the gown that was worn by the characters mother at wedding.

According to some brides over at the Wedding Bee boards, Hathaway's dress is actually a variation of a dress from Vera Wang's 2005 collection (an image from the runway can be seen below).

If you are interested in wearing this exact dress (or one very similar to it), be sure to check out great sites like OnceWed and PreOwnedWeddingDresses to find great deals on dresses that are being sold by other brides.

Another great off-the-shoulder option for the budget conscious bride is this gorgeous offering from Alfred Angelo. The dress has gorgeous lines and is flattering to almost every height and shape. I personally tried this one on before my wedding, but the local dress shop was unable to order one in the correct size in time for my wedding.


You can see the dress here at the Alfred Angelo website, where you can search for local retailers who might have this dress in stock.
