2018's Trendiest Bridal Looks Are All About Spectacular Silhouettes

From softly romantic to high-style chic to unabashedly sexy, the latest designs are all about creative new takes on classic silhouettes.

This year‘s styles accentuate the figure with beautiful fabrics and exquisite details like intricate beading, embroidery, and peek-a-boo cutouts. Low backs and button backs are showing up where corset backs reigned supreme. Architectural designs, endless lace, and mile-high slits — they’re all in these pages.
