Click through for a sneak peak of Fall 2018's new batch of wedding dresses. From Marchesa and Monique Lhuillier to Hayley Paige and Sachin & Babi, tons of incredible brands are showing this season. As you'll see, many designers are drawing inspiration from other decades. There are modern details, too, including pops of color. The styles run the gamut from classic to unconventional, and use a whole range of accents, from feathers to ever-popular bows. Whatever the case, the artistry behind each piece is evident, thanks to these gorgeous illustrations.

This brand's Fall 2018 muses were quite unique. "The colors that make up the collection were inspired by the pastel buildings and hollyhocks that lined the narrow cobblestone streets of Ile de Re," an island off the coast of France. Meanwhile, the shapes and accents on the wedding dresses draw inspiration from "a 1920s circus." That means "feathers and shimmering beads," among other details for the "free-spirited bride."

Webb's collection is "a tribute to elevated elegance." "I sought to create gowns that would emphasize a bride's natural beauty, making her, not the gown, the star on her wedding day," Webb shares. She describes the dresses as "refined, modern, and imbued with a timeless sense of polish and sophistication." Shown here is an off-the-shoulder style from the collection.

Amsale gave us a preview of her collection with this sophisticated sketch, showing a strapless wedding dress with a big-bowed top.  

According to the brand, this gown is called "Pippa" because the label's unique machines produced the lace for Pippa Middleton and Duchess Kate's wedding dresses. If that's any indication of what the new collection will look like, anticipate regal designs. This year, the brand is also increasing its accessibility, producing wedding dresses that are affordable to more brides than ever before. The garments still maintain their high quality, however.

"I love how romantic, sensual, and sophisticated this collection is," president Shawne Jacobs shares of this year's batch of dresses. Look forward to "a delicate tracery of ribbons and bows, a whisper of pink, and dreamy layers of lace." The wedding dress in this sketch is an off-the-shoulder design with hand-appliquéd, embroidered lace.

Liancarlo's launching a new line this season, called Azul by Liancarlo. This sketch—of a dreamy strapless dress—has us excited for its unveiling.

This hand-crafted lace wedding dress is just one of many to look forward to from Berta's latest collection. The brand thinks that their newest designs will appeal to the "forward-thinking," "sophisticated" bride—and one who appreciates "the importance of a wedding dress."

"This collection is a floral affair with a fight of fancy," Paige shares. "The 'Daphne' gown is equal parts bodacious and amorous—an ideal combo for the bride that appreciates a romantic twist, but also loves a dash of 'suave suavecito.'" Yes, we think that was a "Despacito" reference.

Caroline Castigliano shared the sketch of the "Natalya" gown with us. The stunning design features sequined lace, and is crafted for the bride who wants "to show her figure and be sensual."

"My collection this season is entitled 'Vagabond,'" Pettibone shares. According to the designer, "wanderlust has taken hold," and "the idea of exploring will always hold a certain romance." This dress, which Pettibone deems "perfect for a wedding adventure," is ivory with a touch of gray.   

Searching for a wedding dress that's fashion-forward but still romantic? You'll love this dreamy strapless gown from new bridal designer, Danielle Frankel. Frankel, who previously designed for Marchesa and Vera Wang, describes her debut collection as "handsome yet feminine and powerful yet understated."

According to the brand, "this collection was created for the bride who is at heart a traditionalist, but with a relevant update." This sketch shows a dress with a lace bodice, a plunging neckline, and a voluminous tulle skirt.

Just look at that gold cape. We're more than ready to see the rest of Francesca Miranda's latest collection.

"This season, we challenged ourselves to visualize scents and sounds," the design house shares of the inspiration behind its latest dresses. The brand also promises that the new looks work just as well for fairytale-themed weddings as they do for country-style affairs. "The gowns are so defined, but they get their complete character by the bride, and it's amazing to see how each gown looks the same, but so different" depending on the wearer, the label adds.

"I wanted something of a space fantasy," Paige says of her newest looks. "The 'Mercury' gown"—shown here—"is a bit of a textural sonnet. The warped embroidery is hand-stitched and inspired by a ride on Space Mountain while listening to 'Bohemian Rhapsody.'" We hope that description excites you as much as it excites us.

According to the label, "this collection is romantic—a combination of 'this moment' and 'timeless.'" We're dying to see what this off-the-shoulder wedding dress looks like in real life.

"My inspiration for this season started with the city of New York and the women who make it the vibrant, beautiful place that it is," Di Santo shares. "Signature pearls, fabrics, and beading come together to create romantic gowns that are as varied as the city and as the women that inspired them." This sketch shows a stunning number with embellishments and a mock neck.

This pretty gown features a big, floral skirt and a rounded neckline. We're guessing the rest of the collection will be equally as romantic and fairytale-worthy.

This season, Lakum turned to three design icons: Zaha Hadid, Joan Miro, and Francis Picabia. "Drawing inspiration from the timeless oeuvre of these legendary artists, Lakum develops new textures and layers and aims to upset the established standards of bridal wear," the brand shares of its newest looks. Prepare for "unexpected fabric choices and design details," which the label says will be "utterly modern."

Laure de Sagazan's latest collection is inspired by "a hint of surrealism, architectural lines, and a 1930s villa with jazz melodies resonating all around." Overall, "the 2018 collection is vibrating with joyful music," the brand shares. Accordingly, the dresses as "light and airy," and you should expect to see some skin.

"Shimmer," "pastels and sheer nudes," and "floral nets" are just a few of the details you should expect to find on Lazaro's latest batch of dresses. The brand shares that the collection's "inspired by enchanting evenings filled with dancing under the moonlight, and the sight of twirling gowns."

Belter's new collection is called "Summer in Provence." "I'm so proud of this collection," the designer says. "I spent the summer at my brother's truffle farm in the South of France and connected with so many things that are important to me. This collection is for the bride that loves beautiful things, appreciates quality, and wants to look back at her wedding gown and feel timeless—not trendy." This dress, called "Maxine," "is the perfect combination of romantic and sexy."

"Let's get lost together," the brand says of their newest batch of wedding dresses. The collection, which was inspired by "a hefty dose of escapism," has roots in fantasy. This sketch shows a billowy dress made for "unfussy bohemian brides."

"We took our favorite brides of all time and reimagined them for today," the label says. The gown in their sketch has polka dots and is "a personal favorite from the new collection!"

Liancarlo gave us a peek at its latest collection with this moody sketch. The dress is strapless and figure-flattering—we can't wait to see it on a model.

This is Hod's sketch of the "Buttercup" dress, featuring an off-the-shoulder bodice, pleats, and a layered skirt. According to the brand, the gown's designed for the "fashion-forward bride," who is "very chic and cool" but still wants something "timeless."

This season's looks are from the "Emerald" collection. The "modern and romantic gowns" celebrate the brand's 20th birthday. "These captivating designs bring a bride's vision of a beautiful and personalized wedding to life," the brand states.

Rather than send us a sketch, Marchesa sent us an inspiration photo. The brand uses the word "adorned" to describe their newest collection.
