BRIDAL COLLECTION SPRING SUMMER 2012

The newest wedding dress styles and details for 2012 includes pastels, a combination of lengths, fantasy necklines and more fabric! These designs appeared on dozens of runways, marking their official debut on the wedding scene.

Short: We love these shorter dresses by Tobi Hannah. Last season, three-dimensional skirts were in, this season, designers are focusing on shorter hemlines, creating skirts with tiers that flatter all shapes!

Length combinations: Dresses that are short at the front and long at the back are very popular for 2012 and give you the best of both worlds! Carol Hannah’s dress is also layered with a sweet-heart neckline, adding to the overall drama and romance of the gown.

The one-shouldered dress, as seen here with Matthew Williamson, is flattering on most body types and a great way to show off your shoulders with a bit more coverage than a strapless style. Feminine, romantic and sexy! 

Mesh is most often used in underskirts to create volume and shape, however designers, like Tara Keely for Pronovias, are now exposing this fabric to create another dimension to the wedding gown. This style also looks really unique, frothy and feminine

Pastels: For BHLDN’s Spring/ Summer 2012 collection, off-shades of white and pastels featured heavily. These subtle shades of colour, like the silver seen here, can be really chic and offer something different to the brides who want to shun all things traditional, conservative and white!

Fantasy necklines are big this season as seen here with Reem Acra’s 2012 Collection. A sheer layer of fabric covers the skin, so you get a strapless look with some added coverage – two looks for the price of one! This style is soft, elegant and perfect for brides who don’t want to feel over-exposed or too-covered-up.
