Aren’t trends such an interesting thing? I never in my life thought I’d be caught wearing wide-legged jeans with a small purse tucked under my arm again, but 10 years later, here I am.
The thing with trends, is that we normally don’t get to see what’s trending until the trend is actually here. In particular, when it comes to wedding dresses we don’t get to see what people have chosen for the biggest day of their lives until the wedding photos come out! So what about if you had the opportunity to see which dresses brides were clicking on the most in the first half of the year?
That, my sweets, we can deliver.
We’ve had a look through our site and many articles showcasing the best embellished wedding dresses, best long sleeve dresses, best mini dresses, best dresses for big boobs – and so many more, and we now know which wedding dresses are seriously piquing the interest of brides-to-be!
