The Ultimate Guide to Spring '14 Bridal Trends

The bridal trends for Spring 2014 leave room to try something a bit different.

The bridal trends for Spring 2014 leave room to try something a bit different. While gorgeous white gowns and traditional strapless silhouettes certainly made their customary appearance, it wasn't all run of the mill. Vera Wang surprised with black-and-white looks, finished with dramatic black opera-length gloves. Oscar de la Renta dipped into the color wheel for a true "something blue," Reem Acra turned out cocktail minis topped with veiled umbrellas, and Carolina Herrera debuted a sexier kind of wedding-day ensemble (think deep V-front necklines). For inspiration aplenty — and a closer look at what exactly the Spring '14 bridal forecast means for your own wedding-dress search — click on.

Oscars: Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart ditched her sneakers and jeans — although she was spotted with a pair of crutches — in exchange for a pale blush Reem Acra gown.

Kristen Stewart ditched her sneakers and jeans — although she was spotted with a pair of crutches — in exchange for a pale blush Reem Acra gown. The sweetheart neckline was just sexy enough, the hand-beaded embellishments proved ultrasparkly, and the pleated tulle detail was frothy perfection. In true Kristen fashion, the actress kept her jewelry to a minimum, only wearing a delicate diamond necklace around her neck. Are you into it?

Reem Acra Fall 2013 Runway

With references to her recent travels in Japan, Reem Acra's Fall 2013 collection was a killer lineup of sharp, sophisticated dressing for the posh uptown woman, infused with deeply beautiful embroidery and topped with kimono-style coats.

With references to her recent travels in Japan, Reem Acra's Fall 2013 collection was a killer lineup of sharp, sophisticated dressing for the posh uptown woman, infused with deeply beautiful embroidery and topped with kimono-style coats. Perhaps what we're all most excited to see, though, as with every Acra collection, is the display of stunning gowns. This time those red-carpet-worthy dresses were finished with more subversive fishnet insets and layers (nods to a series of photographs from artist Daido Moriyama) until the line culminated in the most luxurious of tiered tulle confections that begged to be taken to the Oscars.

  • Trends: Leather, fur, cutouts, draping, and embroidery.
  • Colors: Gray and black juxtaposed with a fiery red; a sophisticated houndstooth print.
  • Shoes: Striking white pumps and evening sandals.
  • Beauty look: Slicked side parts and gorgeous red lips.
  • Editors' pick: Since we regrettably won't have any place to wear her tiered finale gowns, we're looking to the chic kimono coats to tie our look together.

SAG Awards: Ellie Kemper

It's only fair that a discussion about Ellie Kemper's arrival in this Reem Acra should be all about those girlie and glitzy details.

It's only fair that a discussion about Ellie Kemper's arrival in this Reem Acra should be all about those girlie and glitzy details. It's a gorgeous combination of ultrafeminine lace, a ladylike fit, and some sweet embellishment that add up to the prettiest kind of red-carpet gowns. While tonight's trends point to darker palettes and simpler silhouettes, Ellie's seafoam-hued gown is apologetically girlie and finished with ample sparkle, via a diamond bracelet, mega drop earrings, and a high-wattage clutch in hand. Do you love her more feminine take?

Emmys: Zooey Deschanel

Leave it to the always-adorable Zooey Deschanel to pull off a princess-inspired prom gown at the Emmys.

Leave it to the always-adorable Zooey Deschanel to pull off a princess-inspired prom gown at the Emmys. The actress brought her signature girlie-girl glamour tonight via a strapless, powder-blue Reem Acra gown that showed off her tiny waist with a corset-fit bodice and a sweetheart neckline. Thankfully, she balanced the volume of her gown with more understated accessories — just a berry-hued red lip and diamond studs completed her awards look. Are you a fan?
