Wedding Dress Trends for 2012

Wedding dress trends for 2012 are showing the transition of red carpet-inspired glamour to the bridal runways. From plunging Vs, high splits, sparkly beading and cap sleeves, we take a look at some of the most popular wedding dress trends for this year’s bride.

Fringes and ruffles bring that romantic feminine touch this season, with layers of flowing material and organza this look will truly have you gliding up the aisle.

Dresses: Valentino Couture 2012 and Alfred Angelo

Capped sleeves in fabric, lace and sheer tulle give a great alternative to a strapless
dress.  The style flatters most body types and is a great way to show off your shoulders with a bit more coverage.

Dresses: Stephanie Allin Couture and Benjamin Roberts

Sparkles and beadwork adorn many gowns this season giving that element of red carpet glitz and glam.

Pinks, blushes, tans and taupes were very prevalent colours on the runway this season
which shows a clear shift from the usual bridal colours and offers the bride something a little different this season.

Dresses: Jenny Packham

Most of the major collections had a deep V either in the front or back of the dress some with both, but with feminine cuts that flatter without revealing too much.

In fact, there are a lot of unique necklines this season, barely there, sheer necklines, with embellishments or lace appliqué and patchwork application on a nude base creating an almost dreamlike couture.

Dresses: Mia Mia and Alan Hannah
