2016 Wedding Dresses and Wedding Rings to Match for Charlotte NC

Layer upon layer of taffeta, organza, or tulle graced many of the gowns on the 2016 runways, giving them an unabashedly romantic effect. The combination of a layered gauze skirt and beaded sleeves on this Angel Sanchez dress creates a look that's both very sophisticated and a little bit dreamy. With three bands of diamonds on each side and double claw prongs, the Riviera Engagement Ring from the new Monaco Collection has a similarly stand-out elegance. – See more at: http://www.brilliantearth.com/news/spring-2016-wedding-dress-trends-and-rings-to-match/#sthash.6paGxvQe.dpuf

Dresses with demure elements like high necklines and long sleeves as well as lots of ladylike lace evoked the prim but beautiful aesthetic of the Victorian era. This gown from Sottero Midgley embodies the trend, and would make the perfect pairing with an authentic Victorian engagement ring, like the Jaela Ring from the 1880s. – See more at: http://www.brilliantearth.com/news/spring-2016-wedding-dress-trends-and-rings-to-match/#sthash.6paGxvQe.dpuf

While some designers were drawn to the 1890s others were inspired by the designs of a more recent decade: The 1990s, with its clean lines and elegantly minimalist looks.

If you're drawn to flower-inspired designs then you'll also adore the Lily Engagement Ring from our new Monaco Collection. – See more at: http://www.brilliantearth.com/news/spring-2016-wedding-dress-trends-and-rings-to-match/#sthash.6paGxvQe.dpuf

Many brides want to switch up their looks between the wedding and the reception, and this season designers are offering the easy, chic option of a detachable skirt.
