The Spring 2018 bridal market brought us all of the bold bridal creativity we could fit into one short week. Between the feathered ball gowns and the gorgeously detailed floral appliqué, we have enough inspiration to last us several seasons. Designers strayed away from the familiar in exchange for some serious surprises. Just take a look at these fab trends from the spring 2018 runway!
1. 3D Cut Spring Florals
Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking. No really, these designers showed up with some seriously groundbreaking laser-cut 3D floral appliqué that will have you begging for more florals for spring.

The classic beauty of an a-line dress meets the sex appeal of a hip-hugging sheath cut. This fresh hybrid gown allows brides to make a splash down the aisle while still being able to walk without bridesmaid assistance!

6. Bold Bows
Does it get prettier or more feminine than a dress donned with bows? We especially love the tied off-the-shoulder look that draws attention to the bride at all angles.

12. Corset
The Kardashians may have made lingerie as everyday wear popular, but the bridal industry just stole the show. Sheer boned corsets paired with a fabulous tulle skirt make for a classically sexy look.
