Spring 2012 Wedding Gown Trend: Embellished Skirts

Spring 2012 Wedding Gown Trend: Embellished Skirts

Tiered skirts with plenty of volume will also be a key trend for 2012 brides. The tiers are often done over very full skirts, and can be used with either a natural waistline or a mermaid cut gown. Further accents in the form of appliques and beading on the tiers are also part of the look. Truly, there is no such thing as too busy for the upcoming season of wedding dresses. Crystal beading is particularly favored with the tiered skirt gowns, and will lend itself to being paired with handmade crystal bridal jewelry for the wedding day.
For brides who want an embellished skirt which is a bit less exuberant, there will also be gowns for 2012 which are accented with delicate flower petals. The petals are usually created from lightweight organza, and flutter gracefully all over the skirt of the wedding gown. This is a delightful effect for a garden wedding. The slightly more subdued effect of the three-dimensional petals will be sweet for a petite bride who might find herself overwhelmed by one of the oversized flower appliqued skirts. After all, it is always more important to find a wedding gown which suits the individual bride than it is to adhere slavishly to trends.

Picking Out a Simple Beach Wedding Dress

Picking Out a Simple Beach Wedding Dress

A beach wedding is flattering for dresses of varied lengths. Less formal cuts and shorter hem lines are acceptable at an outdoor wedding. Tea length or longer is also suitable for such a natural setting and can give a more formal flare. Using a simple design and cut can yield a formal look, a casual look or any level in between.
A nice sheath cut dress that fits the body snuggly can have an elegant flare. A simple no frills gown can make a fashionable statement without all the fuss and aggravation of fittings and alterations. Saving time is a wonderful benefit but it can also save a lot of stress on the budget since it can also be made professionally by a seamstress. This can be huge money saver.

Great beach wedding attires are casual, relaxed, sexy, cool and beautiful it should also still have an inherent elegance to it. A white satin strapless dress is one such example. Other materials for great dresses are chiffon, crepe, georgette, organza, cotton and charmeuse. You should avoid wearing silk since silk isn't a breathable fabric.
The bridal entourage too should be dressed in similar attires. The bridesmaids could be given dresses of similar make and cut. The colors could be of the lighter hues such as white, cream or light pink. These colors are more appropriate for such a venue. Another idea is to have them wear short identical prom dresses. You can also have them fitted for dresses made especially for the occasion. This saves time in searching for that perfect design.
