You've got a wedding coming up in 2010, after agreeing to the wedding proposal of what we're sure were a number of highly qualified beaus. The problem is you're worried about what wedding dresses will be in style for the coming year. Well, there are a number of not-so-secret wedding dress trends for 2010 and beyond that you can learn right now.

Generally-speaking, there are several nice-looking styles on the horizon for 2010 and beyond. Some are sleek, with low hemlines, and others are more non-traditional and very modern-appearing. There are yet other dresses that are pretty much unchanged in appearance since their general look developed several decades ago. Here are a few things to know about these dresses in 2010:

- The traditional look is always in. This means a somewhat billowy look that resembles a ball gown, somewhat. The difference is in the neckline, and that the dress is always in white, which isn't the case, on certain occasions, with other types of wedding dresses.

- Don't be afraid of going with what you really like, because styles today are very diverse and full of a lot of flexibility in appearance. Today's most popular style is generally the dress that offers a sleek silhouette, which is ideal for a woman who's slim. They're somewhat clingy on the body, so make sure you've got the build to match up with the dress. Maggie Sottero and Justin Alexander are big in this style.

- If Classic Hollywood is your thing, and you like a bit of glamour in your dresses, then one that harkens back to the 50s silver screen era would be perfect for you. These types of dresses feature belted waistlines and hems that go all the way to the floor and sometimes beyond. A few, though, go only down to knees, but have a sheer layer of fabric overlaid to accentuate the legs and the hemline. Suzanne Ermann and Stephanie Allin have been solid designers of these dresses for a few years.

- Many women are going for something that's a bit more modern and less traditional in a wedding dress these days. If that's the case for you, then a tea-length dress can be ideal. This sort of couture isn't as tradition-minded, generally. With hems that fall just below the knees, they're great for accentuating the lower legs and a fine-looking pair of shoes. Their bodices are at once demure and alluring, which is quite a feat. Allan Hanna and Leigh Hetherington are two of several great designers working in this line.

- Another noticeable trend in wedding dress design for 2010 has been the use of asymmetrical-looking dresses, which have a single shoulder in place of the strapless gown. Top designers and fashion mavens say these sorts of dresses are great for what are called "destination weddings." It tends to show off the neck and shoulders, so take some time to tone those areas up.

Wedding dress styles today have never been more diverse or exciting, and the trend appears to be just as exciting in the coming years, especially in 2010. You can choose from very traditional (with a veil and tiara) to something less-traditional, like a tea-length dress or a 50s-style gown. Take a bit of time to look over what you think would be ideal for you and then wear it proudly.
