You’ve probably already noticed, but wedding season is officially upon us. If you happen to be planning your own walk down the aisle and have yet to decide what you’re going to wear, you have plenty of options to choose from. With that in mind, it certainly doesn’t hurt to narrow down your choices, and there's one style we can't stop thinking about: drop-waist wedding dresses.
The silhouette feels like a combination of trend-forward and classic. Inspired by the trumpet-shaped drop-waist dresses of the 1980s, this style gives a modern touch to the traditional ball gowns you might see more often. For 2019, they’re coming in a range of designs that’ll suit any bridal aesthetic perfectly. From the classic version with voluminous skirts to A-line shapes and shorter lengths, scroll down to see the drop-waist wedding dresses that will take your breath away.
