The problem is you’re worried about what wedding dresses will be in style for the coming year. Well, there are a number of not-so-secret wedding dress trends for 2010 and beyond that you can learn right now.

Whether sleek and with a very low hemline in the traditional manner, or cut short and with an ultra-modern look, there are a number of different styles making their way through the couture lines of all the top designers today. The below are a few things you need to know when it comes to upcoming styles:

• The traditional look will always have a place, no matter the year or the wedding theme. This sort of dress is a little billowy, and the fabrics used are rich and luxurious. They’re also always white in color, and appropriate for just about any time of the year or style of wedding.
• Wedding dress trends these days are highly flexible and diverse. If you choose, you can go for the most currently popular style, which is a sleek silhouette, and perfect for a person of slim build and dimensions. These dresses are what are called “figure hugging,” so make sure the body matches the dress. Top designers in this style are Justin Alexander and Maggie Sottero.
• If you’re feeling a little like you were a star of the silver screen in one of your past lives, then a 50s style wedding dress is definitely for you. It shows off a belted waistline, with a hem that drops nearly to the floor, or even beyond. Some, however, drop to about the knees, but also have a layer of very sheer fabric which serves to highlight the legs and the hem. A couple of fine designers in this line are Stephanie Allin and Suzanne Ermann.
• Tea-length wedding dresses are ideal for the wedding that’s a bit less traditional and a bit more modern in character. They have hems that fall just below the knees, for the most part, and work well when you want to show off your legs and an expensive pair of shoes, perhaps. They also have bodices that work well to highlight your available assets while also being more than demure and appropriate for a wedding. Top-shelf designers of these sorts of dresses are Leigh Hetherington and Allan Hanna.
• Another up-and-coming fashion trend in these dresses is the use of a single shoulder, which is called an asymmetrical look. They use a single shoulder strap instead of two, or even none, and are ideal for a destination wedding. They highlight the shoulders and the neck, so make sure you do some work in toning those spots up if you’re going to wear one

Some are sleek and other bring back a time when Hollywood ruled the consciousness. Spend some time on worthwhile research and then select the dress that’s right for you.
