Would You Wear Trousers to Your Own Wedding?

For brides (both of the actual and fantasy variety) the following Bridal Fashion Week news may come as a shock: Trousers are entirely de rigueur for blushing wedding belles in 2017. If some of the biggest names in New York's schedule are saying so—Carolina Herrera, Elie Saab and Monique Lhuillierthis could well signal a turning point for traditionalists.

J.Crew's affordable wedding line already supports this idea, and if you aren't convinced to wear them for the big day in a grand location, then tell your girlfriends who are arranging a registry office event that rolls straight onto a party! No one likes a soggy tulle hem, after all.

Keep reading to see these pretty, tailored looks for spring 2017, then head over to Net-a-Porter to shop their edit for the modern bride.
