If you've already spent hours poring over gowns, or are newly engaged you won't want to step foot down that aisle without taking a look at our pick of the top style trends for wedding dresses in 2013...
Statement sleeves - Whether you want to detract attention away from your arms or make them the highlight of your dress, sleeves can make all the difference to a bridal look.
Big and beautiful - It is your big day after all, so why not go the-bigger-the-better on everything, including the most important dress of your life?
Long veils - Nothing looks more beautiful than a cascading veil following you down the aisle.
One shoulder - The one-shoulder trend is bigger than ever before. Work the look with a glamorous up- or side-do.
Gatsby - Dropwaists, fringing and loose silhouettes. Nod to prohibition glamour yourself with a Twenties-inspired gown.
Back detail - Shimmer 360¡ all day long with detailing on the back of your dress.
Puff sleeves - No longer a nightmare of the Eighties, big sleeves are back and lift the eyes towards your upper half, should that be your W-day aim.
High neck - Not a fan of flashing the flesh? A high neckline and full-length gown is a fabulous way of staying elegantly covered without seeming prudish.
Romantic tulle - There's no doubt you'll spend your wedding day feeling as if you're walking on air, and this ethereal trend mirrors that feeling to perfection.
Princess - There's a very good reason that this style is top of the trends for another year running and it's because the classic duo of a fitted bodice and an A-line skirt is flattering for all.
Short and sweet - A key mission of your day should be to retain your personal style, so if long dresses aren't your thing, don't follow the crowd. Whether it be floaty, strapless, belted or a shift, an above-the-knee hemline is bang on trend.
