# Black Accented Wedding Gowns Gowns With Bridal Potential from the 2009 Haute Couture & Resort Coll By Bianca | Published 2009-08-05 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-gowns-2009-haute-couture-resort-collections References: [style](http://www.style.com/stylefile/2009/07/would-you-wear-this-chanel-gown-to-your-wedding/) Style.com posed the question, “Would you wear this [Chanel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ps-bridal-rental) gown to your wedding?” My answer: probably not. However, I wouldn’t judge another woman for doing so; in fact, I’d probably be unable to get my eyes off her. Any woman who can pull of wearing black—even if it’s just in the accents and details—at her wedding needs to be admired for her courage for going against the norm. This frilly-meets-badass Chanel wedding dress kicks off a splendid gallery of modern gowns from the 2009 Haute Couture and Resort collections from a bevy of designers. Included are looks from Jean Paul Gaultier, [Christian Dior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diors-2024-collection), Georges Hobeika, [Givenchy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bucket-handbag), Lanvin, Chanel (the suit as well as the matching white-on-white couple), Christian Lacroix and a lace headpiece from Valentino. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 91% | 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) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Black Accented Wedding Gowns:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Reimagining traditional wedding attire by incorporating black accents and details into bridal gowns. - **Modern Gowns From Haute Couture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating modern and unconventional wedding gowns inspired by the 2009 Haute Couture and Resort collections. - **Frilly-meets-badass Wedding Dresses:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing wedding dresses that strike a balance between feminine frills and edgy style. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introducing unconventional wedding gown designs that cater to bold and fashion-forward brides. - **Wedding Planning:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offering unique wedding attire options that challenge traditional norms and appeal to non-traditional brides. - **Luxury Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Curating a collection of modern and unconventional wedding gowns from top haute couture designers to cater to high-end clientele. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Affordable Designer Bridalwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/azazie-and-christian-siriano.md) - [Ultra-Luxurious Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-bridal-collection.md) - [Non-Traditional Wedding Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ssense-bridal-20.md) - [High-End Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivienne-westwood-bridal-couture.md) - [Powerful Modern Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houghton-x-albright.md) - [Hotel-Inspired Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-st-regis-chicago-x-atelier-mira-couture.md) - [Stunning Luxe Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxe-bridal.md) - [White-Tonal Bridal Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hunza-g-1.md) - [Dairytale Bridal Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1.md)
