There's a good chance you already have a packed schedule of summer nuptials to attend as real life wedding season is upon us. But the bridal fashion world has already fast forwarded to next wedding season -- spring 2016 -- on the runways as Bridal Fashion Week just wrapped up in New York. While wedding style might not change all that drastically from season to season, there still are noteworthy trends, details and fun updates to take a peek at and get a jump on right now, especially if you're in the midst of planning your own big day. 

Besides, who doesn't love looking at beautiful wedding dresses? (Unless you have a heart of stone, just saying.) So scroll through for the 10 biggest trends for spring 2016 what is quite possibly our favorite: pants.

RETURN TO TRADITION

Well, sort of. "I think you are seeing a little bit more traditional," Pamella Roland said at her presentation -- pointing out the preponderance of long sleeves on the bridal week runways for spring. "I think Kate Middleton really started that with the lace." Although, the extra material doesn't necessarily mean chaste. Gossamer sheer, naked-looking illusion sleeves allowed for thesemblance of full-coverage, while accents like lace, sparkly sequins, intricate beading and embroidery can add visual interest.

TOTAL EXPOSURE

"We really felt like the girls really want to show off their bodies at the moment, so I think you'll see quite a lot of low back and illusion backs," said Keren Craig at the very grand Marchesa presentation at the St. Regis. While theultra-low back carried over from last season, exposure reached new levels with (sometimes) tasteful cut-outs, illusion panels and peekaboo lace.

This concept was taken to an extreme by Galia Lahav with her Cher-reminiscent neck-to-toe sheer backed gown (with strategic butt coverage). The second the model turned around on the runway, show-goers gasped and immediately whipped out their smartphones for a pic. 

UNDERWEAR AS BRIDAL WEAR

Maybe it's the "Outlander" craze crossed with the return of the '90s, but body-contouring, corset-topped ball-gowns and slinky Courtney Love-meets-Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy slip dresses are hot for spring and summer weddings. Of course, details like extra lace, delicate appliqués and a little sparkle kept dresses from looking too lingerie-esque. 

EXTREME NECKLINES

Considering the low sexy back, it's not a complete shocker that bridal wear is taking an adventurous plunge, so to speak, with jaw-droppingly low necklines, too. But what goes down must go up, too, right? For counter-effect, the bridal gown neckline also reached new heights with lacy and tulle-ruffled mock-turtleneck collars. Some designers even managed to make both high and low necklines work together all in one dress.
