As the new year approaches, so do the updated trends in fashion, food and (obviously) weddings. Whether you follow the trends or not, it's always nice to know what's up and coming as a soon-to-be bride.

These are the bridal trends we think will be making themselves known in 2018:

1. Statement wedding shoes: Say goodbye to the neutral pump or kitten heel, statement shoes are making waves! Whether you opt for glitter, a pop of color, a statement heel or stud embellishments, these are an investment that can be worn and appreciated for years after the wedding day.


2. Bridal separates: Brides are all about having different skirts, tops, jackets and even shorts to mix and match with on their wedding day. This means you can go from super formal to super casual or wow your guests with a little outfit change midway through the day!


3. Crystal accessories and embellishments: From crystal inspired wedding cakes, to beautiful glitzy hair pieces, this will be all the rage next year.


4. High necklines: In terms of bridal dress choices, high necklines are looking like the style all the brides are after. This is a beautiful contrast to the plunging necklines that have been popular previously; high necklines are also perfect in every season!

Trends aside, the most important part of your wedding day is making sure it's a reflection of you and your partner. If you have elements of what you both love, surrounded by people you both love, you've got a success story waiting to happen!
