Reflecting the overall trend of breaking away from tradition and steadfast rules, modern brides are choosing wedding gowns that reflect their personality and vision - not necessarily their grandmother's. The only rule for wedding dress style these days is to choose one that suits you - whether that means wearing a gold wedding dress, trouser suit or sundress. And even if you are more traditional and have always envisioned yourself as the fairy princess in the white satin ballgown, you needn't worry about being perceived as old fashioned. The modern "rule" for wedding dress style is to choose something that makes you feel comfortable and beautiful on your day.

That said, although certain traditional dress styles are always popular, bridal fashion does follow mainstream fashion to some extent. So if you are looking for something a little more contemporary or "now," consider these top trends.
