Wedding fashion trends for 2010 vary a lot.
So what’s in store for this year and next? What wedding dress styles are hot, or going to become hot? Some leading wedding gown designers were asked that same question, and the following are what they predicted.
1. Sexy Slinky Silhouettes
If you have a perfect figure (or wear fantastic suction underwear!), now is the time to do a victory dance – sexy, figure-hugging wedding dress silhouettes will be hot for the next couple of seasons.

2. Ballgown Styles
For those who loved the fabulous gowns in Gone with the Wind (*blush*), and for many of us who want to disguise our thighs, ballgown style wedding gowns are back. Fabulous! Ballgown wedding dresses have many rather wonderful upsides, including squishing you into the shape you desire, giving you fabulous cleavage, and being impossible to remove on your own.

3. Fifties style wedding gowns
There’s something about the whole belted waist idea. And the Stephanie Allin gown on the left is probably one of the best suggestions for a classy wedding gown.

4. Mermaid Style Wedding Gowns
Apparently mermaid style wedding gowns are also a fifties influence, and thinking about it, one of the dresses of all time is the dress Audrey Hepburn wore to the races in My Fair Lady – an extremely tight-fitting mermaid style gown.

5. Tea-length wedding dresses
Tea-length wedding dresses are fabulous for a more casual, less traditional wedding, especially if you have a nice pair of pins and some knock-out shoes. Once again, the 50s influence is shining through!

6. Grecian Goddess wedding dresses
Are you in touch with your inner goddess? Grecian style wedding dresses are hot at the moment – high-waisted with floaty materials, they would make me look like a mountain, but if you’re slim and smaller breasted, it’s a style that could look stunning.
