We asked, our bridal experts answered! From dresses and accessories to bouquets and florals, here are some of the trends taking wedding season by storm: 
1. Sophisticated V-Necks.
Not bold enough to try an plunging neckline? Opt for a feminine V-neck that enhances the collarbone, narrows broad shoulders, and slims the figure as the eye travels to the waistline. The perfect mix of on-trend, flattering, yet not too revealing, says Marcie Muehlke of Celia Grace.
2. French Lace.
This classic fabric is all over the bridal fashion runways on dresses and veils! French lace never goes out of style, but it does tend to evolve each season in its use on designs, says Elisha Caplan of Elisha Caplan
3. Layers of Lush Tulle.
"The romance that radiates from a layered tulle wedding dress will never get old," says Marcie. "Tulle is the ultimate nod to femininity and classic bridal gowns of the past." 
4. Muted Floral Fabrics.
"The industry will continue to see a multitude of non-traditional bridal fabrics to add texture to gowns. One of our favorite fabrics is floral, as seen in our newest collection," says Jade Rose Topper of Lady Evelyn.
5. Layering.
Mix up your bridal look by adding toppers and belts. These accent pieces will help make your look completely your own, says Joey Brooks of Elle & Jae. 6. Floral Hair Accessories Delicate floral crowns or flowers woven into your hair are a gorgeous (and fresh!) way to accessorize on the big day, says Adina Ringler of Adina's Bridal.
7. Coverups.
"Wedding dress cover-ups like shrugs, capelets, boleros and even cape-veils are being featured everywhere," says Elisha. "It's a more cost-effective way to get a second dress look and is great if a bride needs to be modestly covered during the ceremony." Adina also supports this trend, saying, "Coverups that add a pop of color to your wedding day look are totally on-trend.  We love the duel function that cover-ups provide—staying warm and adding a touch of color to your wedding day look." 
8. Gold.
"Think gold combs, sashes, shoes, accents on veils—all of it!  Gold for the win!" says Joey.
9. Birdcage Veils.
"These are a great alternative to a traditional tulle veil," says Elisha. "The birdcage veil is a classic trend that has been around for a very long time, and is perfect for a bride who wants a wisp of a veil with no fuss."
10. Loose and Organic Blooms.
We are loving bouquets that look like they were gathered straight from a garden and have a loose and wild look to them, says Adina
