We’re constantly reading about celebs getting engaged, eloped and married, so it’s no wonder so many women have weddings on the brain...and the way they make it look in Hollywood is oh so wallet-breaking when you try to recreate in real life. Not to mention the huge challenge it is to find Mr. Right. If you’re not ready to get hitched but still want to enjoy the elegant feeling that comes with wearing a white dress, you’re in luck, because for spring 2009, designers have produced a huge variety of pretty pale frocks. Featured in the gallery are dresses by Alessandro Dell’Acqua, 3.1 Phillip Lim, A.F. Vandevorst, ADAM, Alexander McQueen, Badgley Mischka, BCBG Max Azria, Christian Dior, Diane von Furstenberg and Oscar de la Renta. If you’re yearning to dawn a white frock, get dolled up in something less formal and let Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson say their I Dos in the their new flick, ‘Bridal Wars.’ ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Non-bridal Wedding Gowns:** Opportunity for designers and retailers to cater to women who want the elegant feeling of wearing a white dress without getting married. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Fashion designers can create a range of non-bridal wedding gowns to meet the demand for elegant white dresses. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Powerful Modern Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houghton-x-albright.md) - [White-Tonal Bridal Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hunza-g-1.md) - [One-Stop Wedding Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/af-wedding-shop.md) - [Dairytale Bridal Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1.md) - [Non-Traditional Wedding Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ssense-bridal-20.md) - [Summer Bridal Guest-Of Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridal-guestof-collection.md) - [Affordable Designer Bridalwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/azazie-and-christian-siriano.md) - [TV-Star Supported Bridal Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kelsey-anderson.md) - [Comfort-Focused Bridal Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pearly-mini-dress.md)
