No spring bride waits out the polar vortex to have their outdoor nuptials on semi-thawed grounds. The picture-perfect ceremony setting is something more like this: green-as-it-gets grass, lush canopies of sweet-smelling flowers and butterflies — lots of them. But just in case the weather doesn’t get the memo come your big day, BHLDN is making sure your wedding dress does. Anthropologie’s wedding brand just released its spring collection of gowns, veils and headpieces and the delicate creations all scream spring bride.
Inspired by a garden in full-bloom, the 2015 bridal line offers a wide range of romantic silhouettes and breezy styles that conjure the freshness of the new season. While BHLDN covers classic swoon-worthy elements like silk and sparkle, these dresses go beyond typical bridal appeal with their mix of on-trend detailing and timeless feel — a priceless combination for in-the-know brides. Scroll through to see which five wedding dress trends the affordable bridal line knocks out of the perfectly manicured park.
1. Better from the Backs: Waterfall ruffles, delicate lace panels and oversized bows call for a rewording of “Here Comes the Bride.”
2. Romantic Sleeves: With sleeves short and long made of luxe materials like drapey silk and raw lace, these more covered-up gowns feel more of-the-moment than ever.
3. Princess Detailing: Feel like you got your fairytale ending in frocks with full tiered ball gowns and runs-for-miles veils.
4. Ornate Texture: Beads and crystals meet their full potential as high-impact embellishments creating intricate patterns that mimic the most ornate lace. Speaking of, there’s lots of that too.
5. Risky Necklines: On your big day, you could be taking the plunge in more ways than one in a low — and we mean low — neckline that turns a classic gown into something you want to wear.
