Kellee Khalil: 2013 Wedding Gown Trend: Appliques

At one time, if you were torn between lace and beading you'd have had to make a difficult decision about your dress. However, designers are looking to solve your dress dilemma before it even happens. Enter one of our favorite new trends: appliqu?s! We've seen them all over the runways this season, and appliqu?s are here to stay. We love how fabrics and details are now being combined in unexpected ways to create texture, depth, and above all, a new look.

Check out the gallery for our favorite appliqu? dresses in every style, and be sure to tell us which stands out as your favorite.

• The Short Story

  Whether you slip into it for your getaway or wear it for your entire celebration, you can?t go wrong with the beading on this dress from BHLDN. <a href="http://lover.ly/search?q=shop+BHLDN+dresses&utm_source=huffpo1-28-13shopBHLDN&utm_medium=guest&utm_campaign=huffpo1-28-13shopBHLDN " target="_hplink">Shop more looks from BHLDN</a> Photo by: <a href="http://www.bhldn.com/product/alternate-ending-dress/" target="_hplink">BHLDN</a> via <a href="http://lover.ly/image/250269" target="_hplink">Lover.ly</a>

• Classic Black and White

  We?re seeing more and more color on wedding gowns, and we cannot get over the dramatic black appliqu?s on this glamorous St. Pucchi ball gown. <a href="http://lover.ly/search?q=2013+St+Pucchi&utm_source=huffpo1-28-13StPucchi&utm_medium=guest&utm_campaign=huffpo1-28-13StPucchi " target="_hplink">Take a peek at the entire 2013 collection from St. Pucchi</a> Photo by: <a href="http://www.stpucchi.com/Home.html" target="_hplink">St. Pucchi</a> via <a href="http://lover.ly/image/318178" target="_hplink">Lover.ly</a>

• Beach Bash

  We can already see this flowing Watters dress at an Oceanside fete. Our favorite detail is the floral appliqu?s on the side that allow the dress to gather and ruffle to the floor. <a href="http://lover.ly/search?q=Beach+Wedding+Dress&utm_source=huffpo1-28-13beach&utm_medium=guest&utm_campaign=huffpo1-28-13beach " target="_hplink">Find more gowns perfect for a wedding in the sand.</a> Photo by: <a href="http://watters.com/Product/WtooBrides/19019/" target="_hplink">Watters</a> via <a href="http://lover.ly/image/346611" target="_hplink">Lover.ly</a>

  Combine your dream of wearing a sweetheart neckline and a sleeveless dress together with this design by Kelly Faetanini. We love the combination of the cutout with the intricate beading, flowers, and lace that complete the look. <a href="http://lover.ly/post/31256?utm_source=huffpo1-28-13KellyFaetanini&utm_medium=guest&utm_campaign=huffpo1-28-13KellyFaetanini " target="_hplink">Shop Kelly Faetanini?s full collection</a> Photo by: <a href="http://www.kellyfaetanini.com/home.php" target="_hplink">Kelly Faetanini</a> via <a href="http://lover.ly/image/346695" target="_hplink">Lover.ly</a>

• Trendy Illusion

  Our favorite detail of this classic dress by Kelly Faetanini is the beading at the top of the high illusion neckline because it looks like a necklace. <a href="http://lover.ly/search?q=Illusion+Neckline+Wedding+Dress&utm_source=huffpo1-28-13IllusionNecklines&utm_medium=guest&utm_campaign=huffpo1-28-13IllusionNecklines " target="_hplink">Dozens of illusion necklines</a> Photo by: <a href="http://www.kellyfaetanini.com/" target="_hplink">Kelly Faetanini</a> via <a href="http://lover.ly/image/346674" target="_hplink">Lover.ly</a>
