These are the styles you're going to see at every wedding in 2018.
Fall 2018 Bridal Fashion week may be over, but that doesn't mean we're done thinking about the incredible new wedding dresses that all of our favorite labels sent down the runways. While each designer has his or her own unique style and aesthetic, it's always interesting to see the new trends that emerge season after season. This year was no exception.Â
New necklines, including collars and heavily embellished tops, appeared at countless shows, including Ines Di Santo, Berta, and Inbal Dror. Belts had a major comeback moment, cropping up in new collections from Carolina Herrera, Zuhair Murad, and Amsale. Simple, unadorned wedding dresses fit for the minimalist bride were a staple among collections, and some of our favorites appeared at shows like Pronovias, Reem Acra, and Lela Rose.
But some trends that we first saw last season were back again in a big way. Capes and jackets, pearl embellishments, and bows ruled the runways once again. Another returning wedding dress idea? Colorful gowns. Everyone from Naeem Khan and Hayley Paige to Claire Pettibone and Rivini showed off dresses with splashes of color.Â
There were other trends to see, too, including after-party worthy looks with fringe details and asymmetrical hemlines and statement-making veils that would wow at any celebration.Â
One thing's for sure: If you're tying the knot within the next year, these are the dresses you need to know about. Click through here to see all of the newest wedding dress trends, straight off the Fall 2018 bridal runways.Â

Hint of Color
Wedding dress designers have been adding colorful looks, or pops of color, to their new collections for the past few seasons, so we weren't surprised to see unexpected hues show up again. For Spring 2018, many designers added unexpected black details to their dresses, making a shift away from the romantic, pastel hues seen before. This season, though, they're back again with light, airy color. Pink, gold, pale blue, and even light purple looks appeared on many bridal runways.
