Bridal Fashion Week is the chance for top designers to show off their new lines, and our chance to find out what's hot in wedding fashion. Here are 10 wedding dress trends soon to hit your local bridal salon.
Trend 1: '50s Flair
Bridal designers must be as obsessed with Mad Men as we are: There were enough high necklines, tulle skirts, and tea-length styles on the runway to make even Don Draper swoon!

Trend 2: Bits of Black
Not just for the Goth bride anymore, this dark hue showed up in all kinds of wedding dress details, from dainty bows and sashes to bolder, allover embellishments.

Trend 3: The Bold Shoulder
Thanks to First Lady Michelle Obama, it seems the one-shoulder style has really taken off. But this season, unlike in years past, the over-the-top details are what really make these asymmetrical necklines stand out.

From droopy satin styles to more structural ones, girly details are the hottest knots to hit the bridal fashion runways.

Trend 5: Couture Cover-ups

This year, designers were big on blooms of all different sizes, from simple, cherry-blossom details to oversized, eye-catching rosettes.

Trend 9: Raw Edges
