Thanks to Instagram, millennial brides are constantly digitally window shopping and staying top of what is “hot” right now in the fashion world.

Fairytale & Princess

Making a statement is another priority for millennial brides-to-be. Therefore we’re seeing designers incorporate fairytale and princess styles into their collections. Dreamy ball gowns are the new take on the classic wedding dress and create a magical and oh-so-swoon-worthy wedding day look. Whether it is a satin ball gown with a crystal embellished bodice, (like this Rhapsody gown) or a Cinderella-inspired dress with all-over beading, these types of dresses are enchanting and wow-worthy. They’re also a great choice for young brides hoping to still embody some kind of traditional wedding day look, since the glam elements still feel timeless and classic.
