Wedding Gown trends for 2012

For help and inspiration for wedding gown trends for 2012 we have added some images below to guide you on your way.....

Soft Lace  - Vintage inspired, soft feminine lace is huge on trend for this year. With the added embroidery of sparkle intertwined into the material, this look is elegant and timeless. Thanks to the royal wedding of our now Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, lace has become modern and sophisticated once again. OK so material has been taken care of....moving onto shape? 2 styles of lace gown are very popular this year, as seen here on the left a fishtail design with lace up detail of bodice at the back is the perfect gown to show off your toned figure. For those of us who prefer showing off our waists but hiding our hips, a soft empire line skirt is the perfect solution.

Colour - the slightest hint of colour is making an appearence for 2012. As you can see here on the right, the beautiful sweetheart A-line gown has a tint of champagne, thee colour for your wedding dress should you wish to opt out of the more traditional ivory or white. With a lot of the catwalk designers you can see them bringing in this soft champagne / coffee colour scheme especially Vera Wang  - having seen this first hand from a wedding we coordinated earlier this month.

Textured Materials - Organza tiered gowns and fishtail feathered skirts are becoming on trend this season. The bolder bride who can feel sexy and carry off this designer feel gown are becoming ever more popular!

Belts - Crystal and diamante covered belts are thee designer accessory for your wedding gown this year.. They add enough embellishment to a plainer gown for those of us who are not to crazy about the "sparkle".....or become your own designer and add a bit of sparkle to your gown yourself! A lot of our brides are adding diamante to the back panel of their wedding gowns which looks gorgeous!

Bridemaids -  Asymetrical one shoulder gowns are proving a favourite with bridesmaids for spring and summer 2012. In soft material such a chiffon this makes for a floaty vintage theme inspired wedding complete! Popular colours are again purples, greens and blues.

Wedding Gown Trends for 2011

2011 has now officially started – brides are back into wedding mode and looking for new styles and colours for this year.

Flowers are a big hit this year for the bridal industry whether this is patterned within the fabric of the gown or brooch designs added onto the body of the dress. Blush is the chosen colour by our fantastic bridal designers including Mori Lee and Benjamin Roberts as well as top couture designers on our catwalks.

In terms of styles of bridal gowns this season, the ever so popular fitted from bust to hips with a slight fish tail and train is making its appearance alongside our nations favourite princess style tulle layered skirts. Fitted bodice showcasing small waist lines into an A-Line skirt is the preferred design with a lot of our designers staying on-trend.

Bridesmaid choice of colour this season is slowly moving away from the every so popular purple making way for apple greens and fuchsia pinks – perfect for a spring/ summer wedding, or to warm up those dull days of autumn.
