This year, lace sleeves are back in style thanks to one very hot Duchess, tea-length gowns and the little white wedding dresses are all the rage and off-the-shoulder and high-low hemlines are ruling the bridal catwalks.
1. Blush
Dresses by: Vera WangIt was once one of the most worn shades for bridesmaid dresses, but now blush is taking over as one of the most popular hues for brides. Blush is an elegant, feminine color and offers something different to the brides who want to shun all things conventional, conservative and white! Of course, none other than the Queen of bridal fashion herself, Vera Wang does this trend best.
2. Lace Sleeves
Dresses by: Monique LhuillierKate Middleton’s frock by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen really helped revive the lace sleeve trend. Not only was this guna great for a Princess-to-be it also suited Kate’s ladylike guise down. This is a significant feature to remember when searching for your own wedding dress.
3. The Little White Dress
Dresses by: Delphine ManivetIf you’re looking to avoid all the drama of a full-length bridal dress, then a short wedding dress is worth thinking about! It’s perfect for getting hitched in a registry office or in the back garden, which is very ‘right-now’ – See our Top 20 Wedding Trends for2012. It’s also an excellent “change into” dress and one that you can definitely wear again. Dresses by Delphine Manivet
4. Tea Length Wedding Dress
Dresses by: Justin AlexanderJustin Alexander’s Collection is full of beautiful1950s styles that will add a hint of liveliness to your overall look. It goes without saying that wonderful shoes are a must or even colorful ones if you want to be a bit more daring.
5. The Feather Look
Dresses by: LazaroThis look is the essence of femininity. The ball gown skirt is made up of a combination of frayed organza and feather embroidery. The feathers will float and sway as you move, making sure that all eyes will be on you as you glide up the aisle. Not only will you feel like you’ve landed on Cloud 9, you’ll look like you have too.
6. Off the Shoulder Dress
Dresses by : ProvoniasThis was once a very traditional look but now designers are pairing this shoulder-baring trend with a modern style bodice and skirt which is giving this neckline a new lease of life. This style flatter most body types and it’s a great way to show off your shoulder with a bit more exposure than a strapless style. Feminine, romantic and very sexy, plus your Granny will love it!
7. The Slit
Dresses by: Monique LhullierThe slit has made its way back onto the bridge and it’s sexier than ever! A style that should be worn out with a tight-fitting dress, the racy slit can still be very stylish and should be on the top of your list if you have great pins, but still want to wear a long dress. Your Granny almost certainly won’t love this one!
8. High-Low Hemline
Dresses by: Tobi HannahDresses that are short at the face and long at the back are very popular for 2012. They will give you the best of both worlds and help add to the in general drama and romance of the gown. They are also the chicest way to show off an wonderful pair of shoes and great for a modern city chic wedding.
9. The not-a-wedding-dress-wedding-dress
Dresses by: Stephanie AllinMaybe it’s your second-time round or you feel that a bridal gown is just not for you, whatever the reason, tiring something other than a wedding ceremony dress for your big day can still be very stylish. You really can choose whatever you like trouser suits, hats, short dresses, long dresses or pants suits but do get something you completely adore, it is your big day after all. This trend is also depression proof as you can wear the band again.
10. Illusion Necklines
Dresses by: Reem Acra’sSheer necklines are dominating the bridal runways at the moment. A sheer layer of cloth covers the skin, so you get a strapless look with some added coverage, as seen here with Reem Acra’s 2012Collection. Designers are also adding accompaniments to the neckline to give this soft, stylish look a more glamorous vibe.
