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 2010

Wedding Gowns on trend in 2010


I see many brides entering our boutique with two similar style gowns featuring again and again. The first style popular in 2010 is the Katie Price-Cinderella style gown. Here are two examples of this, one being slightly fuller than the other, still giving brides a choice without being too over the top.

The first gown named Cinderella features a gorgeous sweetheart bodice with diamante jewelled detail featuring heavily until this breaks down onto the tulle layered skirt. This is perfect for those looking to emphasize their small waist and really show their curves. The second gown called Elle features a big trend this year – floral design. Many tiny flowers are aligned across the top half of the bodice with tiny diamante crystals to still show the sparkle in the design. The ruche effect across the bodice leading to a ribbon waist line, gives fuller girls the confidence to wear this gown and compliment their shape. The tulle layered skirt begins higher upon the hips compared to Cinderella.

A second popular trend this season is the slinky-fish-tail design, perfect for brides-to-be with smaller, curvier frames. Here are two examples of this design

First gown named Sophie in silky satin material drapes flawlessly around silhouette figure with tie-up design at back of dress. Gown drapes to floor with cathedral length train following into a “puff ball” bubble hemline. A popular style of hemline this year, not a great fan with seamstresses, but none the less a big hit with our brides to be. Second gown Daisy in taffeta makes this gown feel somewhat lighter – perfect for the hot summer weddings. The ruche details carries fluidly through this gown giving a fan design to the mermaid style train. Floral design appearing again onto this gown features small segments of sparkle creating a fairytale design.

Same is not always best option!

I have found a few brides trying to find the best suitable options for bridesmaid dresses. The same problems keep occuring " One bridesmaid is quite heavy busted, but then my other bridesmaid is quite short, and my maid of honour is tall and a size 8". On a lot of occasions, one style of dress will not suit each bridesmaid, and this is where brides struggle. A solution? How about having each bridesmaid in exactly the same colour, but different styles of dresses. This will not only complement your best friends but also look fab in your wedding pics! If one bridesmaid is heavy busted - why not try a one-shouldered design, or a design which has thicker strapes as part of. A bridesmaid whom is quite short - I wouldn't advise for them to have a 3/4 length dress as this will highlight their height. Really try and go with body shapes - if they are quite curvy, perhaps a lace up design which will pull in their waist to highlight their fabulous curves.

Having something different on your wedding day makes the day that little more "perfect". Not everybody likes matching everything - this can sometimes look too much, so instead try mixing things up slightly!

Wedding Fashion

As I look through the past trends for bridesmaid gowns, I can't believe how much the trends change year on year. There is a lot of bold bright colours with bridesmaid gowns this year...perhaps to warm us up over the past few months of freezing temperatures!! Purple is set to stay, making a huge impact last year on fashion. Here you can view a collection of occasion wear gowns I currently have showcasing within my new boutique, which can be worn for many occasions.

With Bridal Gowns, the lace up corset is making a huge return this year, more so than the zip up bodice. I think having your gown with a lace up bodice is fantastic, especially if you are worrying about your weight. You can really pull in if you have lost any weight prior to the wedding day, which most of us do due to nerves and worry!!

Tule is used a lot in 2010 and very detailed with a lot of crystal and pearls added in which just gives the WOW factor. Adding the perfect veil with matching drop crystals will really set off the detail in your gown - you will look a million dollars - and so you should on your special day!

Bridal Open Day

What a fantastic day we had on our open day launching Your Wedding Dress! Met some lovely brides-to-be, trying on bridal gowns for the first time. Not a dry eye in the shop I can tell you. We had great laughs, great atmosphere....and great cupcakes Mmmmmm!! Website has now been updated with photographs from our day, and new information on our two designers Benjamin Roberts and Mori Lee. We have appointments already this week and I can't wait to get started!

Met a lovely girl yesterday who has a great eye for fashion. She has just, like myself, set up her own business and is raring to go. Her business is BlackFeatherStyling and is a fantastic window dresser aswell as personal shopper and event stylist. I cannot wait to have her ideas onboard for dressing my window to really make an impact. I will post a photograph soon!
