Spots are in full view right now, in fact we’re going full circle in 2020 with spheres appearing on wedding gowns, jewels and accessories. This can be a fun flourish – there’s something deliciously jaunty about dots – while designers such as Pronovias have used larger spherical motifs to add a cosmic quality to new-season designs. If spots or circles on a wedding gown seem too way out for you, look for circular motifs on accessories and jewels – pearls and diamonds are favourites for brides, and this year you’ll also be on point.
