The Bridal Trend That Will Be Big in 2017

last updated 30 August 2019

You saw the trend on celebrities like Olivia Palermo and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, on bloggers like Aimee Song, and (more than likely) hanging in your own closet as well. So was there any doubt that the off-the-shoulder craze would eventually permeate every single facet of women's wardrobes, including wedding dresses?

The fall 2017 bridal collections debuted this week, and we spotted many an off-the-shoulder silhouette from some of the biggest designers out there. Vera Wang, for one, took an especially unique route, creating an off-the-shoulder dress with slouchy, extra-long sleeves. Sachin & Babi also put a cool spin on the look with bow-bedecked sleeves. Reem Acra and Marchesa's gowns were more traditional, featuring dainty lace details and feminine necklines. All in all, there's no doubt about it: Tons of brides will be wearing off-the-shoulder dresses come 2017.

Scroll down to see how four different designers interpreted the off-the-shoulder trend for the fall 2017 bridal collections!
