Just like in the fashion industry bridal designers show their upcoming collections for the next season at least six months before the trends hit stores. And there’s also a Bridal fashion week, which enables them to display their new frocks.

Over the past few weeks we’ve been giving you a few hints on what to expect next year, with black being our colour of choice with Vera Wang showcasing these. However, it’s also good news for those brides that want to stand out and are fans of the short wedding frock because it looks like these are going to get bigger next year.

Amsale and Pronovias both showed these styles off at their shows, while Monique Lhuillier and Kenneth Pool championed the traditional A-line dress with 2011 twists including feathers and ruffles.
