2012 dress trends

From BRIDES.com, all of the upcoming gorgeous gown trends to consider while shopping for the perfect one:

Illusion Necklines:
For the bride that wants strapless with more coverage.

Gown 1: Carolina Herrera
Gown 2: Monique Lhuillier




Two-Tiered Skirts:
For the bride that wants a flattering fit - the top tier helps to hide wider hips.

Gown 1: Christos
Gown 2: Anna Maier/Ulla-Maija Couture
Gown 3: Junko Yoshioka





Horsehair Trim:
Exposing the underlay of the gown creates voluptuous volume and dimension.

Gown 1: Vera Wang
Gown 2: Rivini




Blush:
My favorite new trend! The subtle hint of pink provides romantic flair for a bride looking to stray from plain white. As the beautiful Reese Witherspoon proved with her wedding gown earlier this year, blush gowns are classy with a twist. 
*Also a great choice for the second-time bride.

Gown 1: Wtoo Brides
Gown 2: Monique Lhuillier
Gown 3: Rivini





Lace Sleeves:
Inspired by Kate Middleton, lace sleeves are a great option for the bride looking to exude the look of royalty on her big day.

Gown 1: Wtoo Brides
Gown 2: Monique Lhuillier
