If you had to describe the trends for bridal gowns in 2011 in one word, that would be dimension. The newest gowns are embellished with hand-made large floral appliqués and hand stitched crystals. For the past few seasons, ruffles have been one of the biggest ways that designers have chosen to add volume and visual interest to their gowns. The gowns for 2011 are moving away from the ruffle trend but not from the idea of using embellishments to add volume and femininity. Look for gowns with tiny three dimensional flowers stitched all over them. Soft petals are another way designers are decorating their romantic gowns for 2011.

Asymmetry is still in, both in the form of the one shoulder look and wedding gowns with asymmetrical draping on the bodice. Drop waist or fit and flare waist lines are also being used a lot. Most bodices are detailed with rouching which hug the figure and are very flattering. The wrapped fabric does a nice job of smoothing over any figure flaws in these tight bodices.

The bridal designers are crazy about texture in 2011! Feathers are also making a statement as a trendy bridal gown embellishment. These fantasy details are being added to very soft and romantic fabrics like net, lace, and organza to create whimsical, fairy tale style gowns. It has never been a better time to be a bride!

Remember to order your wedding gown early! Many gowns can take 4-6 months to come in.

At PromSave.com we have hundreds of in stock wedding gowns ready to ship within 24 hours! Many of our manufacturers also offer rush delivery.

Be sure to get your measurements done by a professional. A professional seamstress or tailor will know exactly where to measure to get a great fit.

If you are unable to see a professional please see our section on how to measure. If you have any questions or concerns please contact one of our customer service specialists who will help guide you to selecting the right size.

Do not be surprised if the size chart recommends a larger size than you are used to. On average, prom dresses, bridesmaids dresses and wedding gowns can be 2 to 3 sizes larger than your street clothes.

It is always recommended that if you are in between sizes you go with the larger one so that it can be altered in. It is much easier to make a gown smaller than it is to make one bigger. At PromSave.com we are happy to offer a variety of alteration services. We are the only online store to offer such services. Please call a customer service specialist for more details.

It is important for bridesmaids dresses to see an actual swatch of the fabric before ordering. Do not refer to the color you see on your computer monitor for accurate coloring.

At PromSave.com we would be happy to mail you swatches of any color you would like to see. Please allow an appropriate delivery time to receive your swatches.
