Fantastic Fresh Details on 2012 Wedding Dresses
There are some exciting new trends in the 2012 wedding gown collections. From interesting necklines to daring skirts (slits!) to elegant cover ups, brides will have many gorgeous styles from which to choose. Learn more about these fantastic fresh details we will be seeing on 2012 wedding dresses.
Bridal fashion has become much more tied to runway and ready-to-wear design than it used to be. Trends evolve and change more quickly in bridal these days, keeping them in sync with style developments in the rest of the fashion world. One great example of this is the 2012 wedding dresses with front slits in the skirts. Slits were a hot trend in ready-to-wear, and bridal designers have embraced this daring style in their 2012 collections. A front slit wedding gown is ideal for the bride who wants to feel sexy and fashion-forward on her wedding day. A variety of designers featured dresses with front slits, including Ines di Santo, Angel Sanchez, and Hayley Paige. Shop for dramatic wedding jewelry to suit the striking design of the front slit gowns.
Another great option for the daring 2012 bride is a wedding gown with a low cut back. Designers such as Marchesa featured styles with modest front necklines paired with very daring backs. One of Marchesa’s standout designs was a fluid crepe column dress that dipped low into a draped cowl just above the tailbone. A special feature of that gown is that it takes advantage of another 2012 wedding dress trend: embellished illusion. The open back is covered by a sheer material which is decorated with a lovely floral accent “growing” up the back. It adds an unexpected detail, and the illusion also helps to ensure that the dress does not slip around, despite the wide open back. If you want an even sexier low cut back, turn to Pnina Tornai, who is a master of designing bridal gowns which conceal only the essentials. Elizabeth Fillmore created a slinky gown with a barely-there crisscross strap across the open back, for yet another beautiful option.
Sweetheart necklines have been quite popular in the last few seasons, and for 2012 weddings there will be an elegant new take on this flattering line. The freshest trend in bridal necklines is a sweetheart bodice covered at the top with sheer illusion. What really makes it special is that the sheer fabric is adorned with crystals, beads, or appliques. The details look so lovely against the skin, and the illusion neckline is a refreshing change from the usual strapless gown. Since there is so much detail at the top of these dresses, look for wedding jewelry sets with fabulous earrings and bracelets, instead of wearing a necklace. The embellished illusion neckline was shown by numerous designers, including Reem Acra, Jenny Packham, and Randi Rahm.
Wondering what the hottest new wedding gown accessory will be for 2012 weddings? The answer is the capelet. A short little cape that is worn indoors (versus a full length cape, which is outerwear), a capelet is a great way to add coverage to a strapless bridal gown for the ceremony. They usually stop just above the waist, and some capelets dip lower in the back. Look for capelets made from sheer illusion material or beautiful lace. You will be the height of style when you embrace this new 2012 wedding dress trend.
