Spring Wedding Dresses: Trends to Watch

2012 is going to be a year of subtle but yet altogether bold statements in wedding dresses. At Dimitra Designs, we’re here to showcase 2012 spring wedding dresses and trends to watch as you look for the perfect gown in the upcoming season.

Here are the wedding dress details you should be watching for while shopping our selection of 2012 spring wedding dresses:

Illusion Necklines: In 2011, this trend popped up in cocktail dresses from many top designers. Now, for spring 2012, you can bet to see it on wedding gowns. Illusion necklines feature a sheer, delicate layer of fabric that veils the décolletage, shoulder, or back. It’s a very romantic detail and usually features pretty lace, embroidery, or embellishments. Perfect for a light spring wedding! Want to capture the look on your big day? This Blue by Enzoani Concord is a perfect fit with Alencon lace on a mermaid cut with a slight sweetheart neckline and illusion neckline with a high collar.

Exposed Underlay Fabric: Designers like Vera Wang have been playing with turning wedding dresses inside out. In 2012 spring wedding dresses, you can expect to see this trend continue with rough tulle layers, horsehair trim, and large volumes of textured fabric. This Alma Novia 2012 spring wedding dress captures this trend perfectly with a form fitting bodice and an elaborate ruffled skirt.

Pink Wedding Dresses: Celebrities like Reese Witherspoon have been turning to pink wedding dresses to look their best while walking down the aisle. In 2012, pink wedding dresses are going to be big for spring, especially since it’s such a soft and cheery color! This gorgeous Enzoani Love dress is a great for any modern bride. It features a strapless a-line silhouette with jeweled appliqués and a symmetrical gather on the bust in sleek chiffon – and of course, a vintage rose hue.

Lace Sleeves: After Kate Middleton walked down the aisle, lace sleeves became the biggest thing to hit the wedding world since Princess Diana’s full and luxurious wedding dress. In 2012 spring wedding dresses, look for slim lace sleeves in full or ¾ lengths to capture this regal look. Our pick? This gorgeous Anjolique couture wedding gown with sleeves, a classic silhouette, and delicate embellishments.
