Strappy sandals look great with a slinky, halter-top, sleeveless or spaghetti strap gown. There is a return to the high heeled, stiletto pump, but with open sides and straps. Usually white for the bride-color coordinated, silver or gold for the bridesmaids. Slim and sleek halter-top, strapless or back baring styles are hot. The gowns are so simple that it is possible for the bridesmaids to copy it, but with a shorter skirt.
Wraps come in very handy in the cooler fall weather.
The look is elegant. The ball gown skirt continues to be popular but shown without any adornment, either plain satin or with a chiffon overlay. The emphasis and ornamentation is focused on the bodice or waistline. Veils are fingertip length and often trimmed in satin and given a sparkly sheen. Also, look for gold or silver threads worked into the fabrics of veils and gowns.
