When I was browsing pictures of gown collections from the latest bridal market, I noticed some designers adding a little bit of shine to their gowns. Gold detailing- in some cases its very subtle but its the perfect little bit of shine for your special day. Some brides may be apprehensive to add a little bit of gold undertone when picking a dress but its very chic and perfect for the bride who loves a little glamour! From strapless to lace, there is a gown with a little pop of gold perfect for any type of bride!
With this Claire Pettibone gown, the detail is all in the back and there are tiny hints of gold in the jeweled leaf detailing. From the front, it looks like your average lace dress but once you turn around, it has a major WOW factor. This dress is perfect for the modern bride who wants the classic look in the front but a totally amazing back. This dress is perfect if you want to ease into the gold detailing and it will definitely leave you wanting more! (via Claire Pettibone)
With any new trend, I think its all about easing into it and this Modern Trousseau gown is perfect for easing into hints of gold. At first glance, this dress may look ivory or cream but if you look at the lace detailing closely, it has a little bit of shine to it. This is perfect for a summer wedding with a little bit of romantic flair. If you wanted to pump up the gold detailing, consider changing out the sash to one with a light gold color and flower.

This dress is a bit of an optical allusion because some ways you look at it, it looks a little pink and in some ways its a little bit gold. Either way it is perfect for that bride who LOVES sparkle. If you are thinking about throwing a Great Gatsby themed wedding, this dress is perfect. The sequins and the silohouette are perfect for a 20s theme. I wish I was bold enough to pull this dress off because it is AMAZING! (via Anne Bowen)
While earlier I said you should ease into the gold trend, with this dress you are taking a full dip into the gold! This dress is perfect for the unconventional bride who wants to shine on their big day-literally! This gown by Rivini is a light gold and when paired with the soft tulle is a glamour brides dream gown. The style and the ruching of the gown would look great and brides of various sizes and this dress could possibly be an elegant bridesmaids dress if you were having a black-tie wedding that would your bridesmaids would feel great (and look great too!) in.

I don’t know about you guys, but I want to go out and buy a gold dress and I don’t even have a big event coming up! Gold is in and here to stay!
