The International Herald tribune reports that a growing number of brides are rejecting traditional ceremonial wedding gown motifs and choosing sexier styles that flaunt their curves this year. New designs, from houses such as Sarah Danielle in New York, and Monique Lhuiller of Hollywood feature gowns with an Empire bodice, with lace straps and provocative wispy skirts more common on nightgowns.
Another trend is for brides to wear shawls during the ceremony, then with a nod to the 'cutting loose' nature of the reception, removing them to reveal off the shoulder gowns and plunging necklines.
Mara Urshel, owner of Kleinfeld's in Manhattan acknowledged that, in recent months, there's been a spike in demand for 'negligee looks'. Millie Maritni Bratten, editor and chief of Brides magazine says "young women increasingly took to the red carpet for style ideas". Adding that "They diet, they work out. And when they marry , they want to be the celebrity of their own event"
