TREND ALERT: Sheer Wedding Dresses

We've seen trends come and go in the wedding world - some have stuck around like the great rustic wedding style, whereas others have made a hasty exit (unicorns we're looking at you), and it looks like we've got a new contender. How sheer are you feeling?

Now see-through wedding dresses might seem like the stuff of nightmares to some, but if you're feeling daring and don't mind showing off a bit of skin, sometimes they can be a little sexy (though perhaps catching the train on your own in a sheer wedding dress may not be the way to go...)

Who started off the trend, you say? Of course the one and only Kate Upton! Her second wedding dress of her big day was a sheer late night look - hugely different from her pretty as a princess daytime style.

Provonias are TOTALLY embracing this trend in their wedding dress designs; just a little delicate leafy lace coverage with the Rocio gown.

It helps when the artistic director is a lace placement genius!

It all depends on how daring you're feeling. Now, this jumpsuit has over 200 crystals embroidered into the delicate lace and Chantilly, taking the Provonias team over 244 hours to make!

So what do you think of this new trend? Think it will take off or be a one-hit wonder?
